|Apologies for absence were received from David Cockburn, Pieter Hemsley and Rick Newson. | |
| | |
|Item 2. | |
|Briefing by Chairman CRMSG | |
| | |
|The Chairman explained that, due to personal circumstances, it had not been possible for her to devote enough time to CRMSG | |
|matters. Consequently, the Group had lost momentum over the last several months. Thanks was expressed to MS for acting as | |
|Chairman over this period and keeping the Group active. However, the Chairman did not feel that it would be possible, in the | |
|foreseeable future, to be able to chair the Group satisfactorily and, reluctantly, she would resign her post as Chairman of the | |
|CRMSG with immediate effect. | |
| | |
|The Chairman handed control of the meeting back to the Acting Chairman and there followed a discussion on the process necessary to | |
|elect a new Chairman. It was suggested that, as there were sufficient members present, a motion could be voted on to elect the | |
|current Acting Chairman to the post as he was willing take on the role. However, it was agreed that presenting the Group with a | |
|fait accompli may not be the best course. It was decided that the Acting Chairman would continue in the role for the present. The| |
|Chairman would invite nominations for the post of Chairman from the Group members. If there was more than one candidate then an | |
|email ballot would take place, to be completed by the end of August 2011. The HFG Chairman reminded the Group that nominees should| |
|be a member of the Society. | |
| | |
|The Acting Chairman thanked the Chairman for the excellent work she had undertaken over the 6 or more years she had chaired the | |
|Group. He expressed the wish of all members of the Group that she continued as a member and contributed her expertise at meetings | |
|whenever she was able. | |
| | |
|Actions: | |
| | |
|The Acting Chairman would continue in post until a formal election process was completed. | |
|The Chairman would initiate a formal process to elect a new Chairman for the Group. | |
| | |
|Item 3. | |
|Review of last minutes | |
| | |
|The last meeting was held in January 2011. There were few members at the meeting and no actions were taken; therefore, no minutes | |
|were produced. Prior meetings had been well in the past and actions from those meetings had been overtaken by events. | |
| | |
|Item 4. |MS |
|Conferences |NS |
| | |
|The Flight Crew Training Conference on 27th & 28th September is entitled “An International Approach to Flight Crew Training | |
|Standards”. It will be attended by the current Chairman, as the CRMSG representative to the FCT Group. One of the main speakers | |
|on day 2 will be Sarah Skelton. Discussions regarding the content of this presentation took place and are to be continued outside | |
|of the meeting. It was noted that the Chairman CRMSG was also a member of the FCT Group. | |
| | |
|Regarding CRMSG sponsored conferences, two suggestions were put forward. The first had a working title of “Fatigue Risk | |
|Management”. Suggested content included Current Research, Regulatory Aspects, Long Haul v Short Haul differences and similarities,| |
|Time Zone effects (Medical input?), Fatigue Awareness understanding and training, Role of SMS in Fatigue Management. | |
| | |
|With the Olympic Games in 2012, and the Society’s requirement for all types of conference to be cleared before advertising, it was | |
|suggested that a date in early October 2012 would be the earliest that could be expected. CC indicated that the Virgin facility in| |
|Crawley (seating approx 120) was available for these type of events; this offer was warmly accepted. However, if larger numbers | |
|were expected then the BA facility, or Hamilton Place, could be utilised. | |
| | |
|It was agreed that this was a subject which could provide suitable material for a worthwhile conference. | |
| | |
|MF was concerned about the wider aspects of CRM training, and suggested that this could make a good platform for a conference. CRM| |
|training, over the years, had become ‘stale’ and should major on Teamwork, and include feedback on Personality and Behaviour. It | |
|was angled towards the classic airline crew/operation model which did not take account of the differing requirements of the GA | |
|community – from private jet operations to PPL level. Furthermore, it was suggested that the training of the first ‘trainers’ was | |
|not as robust as it could have been and this had resulted in the present position regarding CRM training. | |
| | |
|Consideration was given as to how the Group could take forward these concerns. In the longer term, a conference could be arranged.| |
|However, in the short term it was suggested that small seminars, or evening focus groups, could provide the Group with useful input| |
|from GA organizations regarding their perception of the content of current CRM training and any changes necessary. It was further | |
|suggested that group members might give training at flying school level which would have the double benefit of also increasing the | |
|skills of the instructor. However, this could not be given under the RAeS banner. Further work needed to be undertaken to | |
|indentify the best way of progressing this work and it would be included as an agenda item at future meetings. | |
| | |
|Comment was made that neither this group nor the HFG had received any information on recent initiatives by the CRMAP. It | |
|transpired that the Chairman had advised that group she would no longer be representing the HFG. The Chairman HFG agreed to write | |
|the the CRMAP advising them that the new Chairman CRMSG would attend future meetings. | |
| | |
|Actions: | |
| || |
|Work should be initiated to arrange a conference for early October 2012 focussing on Fatigue Risk Management. || |
| || |
|Suggestions were needed on how best to inform the Group on changes to CRM training which would benefit GA operators. This would | |
|become an agenda item. | |
| | |
|Chairman HFG agreed to write to CRMAP advising them of the new HFG representative. | |
| | |
| | |
|Item 5. | |
|Video shop/streaming and download accessibility | |
| | |
|Some videos had been loaded and the system was running. However, it was not known how many of the videos had been converted and | |
|uploaded. Furthermore, no response had been received from Cranfield regarding the services of a student to catalogue the video | |
|content. Another cataloguing source might be a student from London City University through Jane Neal-Smith, a previous CRMSG | |
|Chairman. BN agreed to continue to pursue Cranfield, and MS would approach the London City. Until the cataloguing was completed, | |
|and the controlled access to the videos had been arranged, it would not be possible to advertise their availability. With the | |
|Group’s video “expert” not able to attend the meeting it was not possible to discuss any other work still required to finalise this| |
|project. | |
| | |
| | |
|Action: | |
| | |
|Chairman HFG to continue to seek a student from Cranfield to catalogue videos | |
| | |
|Acting Chairman CRMSG to approach London City University to seek cataloguing assistance. | |
| | |
|Post Meeting Note from RH: Complete videos would be distributed by DVD. The online streaming component would only for samples of a|All |
|few minutes' duration. Streaming complete videos was time-consuming and bandwidth hogging. YouTube did not support more than 10 | |
|or 15 minute videos for that reason. There were also IP address minefields. It would be more straightforward to post online | |
|samples and take orders for physical DVDs (These would come with no-copy NDA notices and a tag for security) |All |
| | |
|Item 6. |BN |
|HFG progress on Helios | |
| | |
|The HFG Chairman reported that no further progress had been made in publishing the Helios paper. He was continuing to work with | |
|the Society to ensure that all necessary procedures were carried out to allow publishing as early as possible. | |
| | |
|Item 7. | |
|Future Direction of CRMSG | |
| | |
|Following the earlier discussions on Conferences, it was agreed that Items 7 and 8 could be discussed as one item. | |
| | |
|It was felt by some members that the Group was not fully representative of the Industry. Despite previous attempts to gain members| |
|from other areas of aviation, membership had been stagnant for some time. CC knew of a Traffic Officer who might be willing to | |
|join the Group. However, this still left some areas, eg Training Schools and Ramp Ops, unrepresented. The Group was reminded that| |
|standing groups only remained formed whilst there was a task to perform and should disband once that task was completed. However, | |
|it was strongly felt by all the members that disbanding the CRMSG would leave a large gap in the CRM/HF oversight of the flight | |
|crew area. | |
| | |
|The discussion then moved onto the need to redefine the Group by way of a name change, or to amalgamate with the CCSG. It was | |
|decided that, although there should be no differentiation between ‘front’ and ‘rear’ crew, the CCSG had specific needs which would | |
|not be best served by amalgamating. A number of suggestions for a name change were put forwards, although it was felt that a |BN |
|simple change of name would not necessarily redefine the Group. The discussions at Item 4 had shown that there was still a | |
|worthwhile task for the Group, but that CRM might be too constraining a title. It was finally agreed that, henceforth, the Group | |
|would be titled HFG OPS & TRG. |MS |
| | |
|Having successfully redefined the Group, and identified suitable areas of work the discussion turned again to group membership. It|| |
|was first agreed that all current members would be invited to remain as part of the HFG Ops & Trg if they so wished. To ensure || |
|that the Group better represented the industry, a representative from a Flying Training establishment should be sought. Also, || |
|greater representation from the Cabin Crew area, and ground staff, would ensure that the Group’s thoughts were not ‘cockpit || |
|centric’. All members were urged to seek out volunteers from those areas of aviation currently not represented within the Group. | |
| | |
|Finally, it was agreed that the Acting Chairman would write to the Chairman HFG laying out the decisions made above regarding the | |
|future of this group. | |
| | |
|Action: | |
| |BN |
|The Group was to be renamed the HFG Ops & Trg. | |
| | |
|All current members would remain members of the Group if they so wished. | |
| | |
|A wider membership base for the Group should be sought. | |
| | |
|The Chairman would inform the Chairman HFG of the decisions made at this meeting. | |
| | |
