AF 447 Thread No. 7

Premature to comment. Sounds very good.

Hi,

Looking to what A33Zab post (#904) i think this is a potentially powerful "mechanism" being introduced by the carrier.

If well applied with absolutely essential aspects mentioned by PJ2 like:

As may be imagined, such processes require a mature, trusting relationship which guarantees that recorded flight data will not be used against individual pilots for disciplinary or legal proceedings. Except for Asia, these enlightened approaches seem to be the norm in FDM Programs.

Management never does this work and do not have access to actual data due to conflicting priorites and trust, again except at BA where, I understand, FDM data is even shared with the regulator, (de-identified).

It could represent a "very good answer" to the question put in the title of A33Zab post.

In my opinion this came in time to show AF probably learned important lessons and seems committed to a "process of change".

PS

The concept using "pilot gatekeepers" is new?

PS2

PJ2:

Perhaps BOAC or another PPRuNer can tell us more, but I wouldn't consider an implementation date of 1974 "late".

Sure, is not.
