Individual Mission Risk Assessments

SMS Pro's Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT) provides "proactive identification of possible hazards and the use of risk management tools to mitigate risks as aspects of a Safety Management System (SMS).

This is a greatly improved and completely customizable Mission Risk Assessment Tool allowing escalation of required actions based upon an individual mission's risk.

There are four categories to evaluate for any particular mission:

1. Manpower;
2. Operating Environment;
3. Equipment;
4. Departures / Arrivals

Each SMS Pro Web-based application comes pre-configured with default questions and risk values in each of the first three categories. An SMS Admin can easily modify these items by:

• Adding new questions;
• Changing the verbiage of questions;
• Changing risk value between 0 and 5;
• Changing the order the questions appear; or
• Removing them from the list.

Departures / Arrivals are landing areas, such as airports or helipads. SMS Admins or Chief Pilots can configure a risk value for the departure and arrival at each landing area. NOTE: If landing areas are not listed, they can be added. Chief Pilots can add customizable landing areas, such as heliports, river beds or snowfields in Alaska. Currently, there are over 6200 ICAO airports in our database.
