Council (ASC) press release on the SQ006 Accident Report
26/4/2002
Safety Recommendations
(60 items)
To Singapore Airlines (SIA)-10 items
The Safety Council recommends that SIA should develop and
implement a comprehensive surface-movement training program
, procedures for low visibility taxi operations documentation
and operational practices include in all company pre-takeoff
checklists an item formally requiring positive visual identification
and confirmation of the correct takeoff runway. Implement
an Advanced Crew Resource Management (CRM) program, review
the adequacy of current runway condition determination procedures
and practices, SIA should conduct a procedural audit to eliminate
existing conflicts in the guidance and procedures between
the company manuals, the managers’ expectations, and
the actual practices. SIA should also modify & review
emergency procedures and training for the flight and cabin
crewmembers .
To Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS)- 5 items
CAAS should develop and implement a comprehensive surface-movement
training program, review the adequacy of current SIA PVD,
CRM training and practices, CAAS should review the current
system of managing AFM , develop technologies and methods
to enhance flight crews’ abilities for objectively determining
a water-affected runway condition in heavy rain situations..
To Singapore Government-1 item
The Safety Council recommends that the Singapore Government
establish an independent aviation accident/incident investigation
organization consistent with many other countries in the world.
To Civil Aeronautics Administration, ROC (CAA)-14 items
The Safety Council recommends that the CAA implement ASDE
installation. CAA should specifically appoint an organization
internally for the development, modification, and issuance
of civil aviation regulations. CAA should implement safety
improvement program, risk assessment program, water-affected
runway conditions research, ASC recommend that CAA immediately
implement all items, or acceptable alternative standards,
at CKS and other ROC airports, that are not in compliance
with ICAO SARPs and applicable documents, AREF manpower, incident
reporting system and others total of 14 issues.
To Ministry of Transportation and Communications, ROC
(MOTC)-3 items
The Safety Council recommends that the MOTC should establish
professional oversight capabilities for CAA’s safety
improvement actions and programs for promoting flight safety.
MOTC should proactively provide support and full authorization
to CAA’s safety action plan and regulation approval.
To the Boeing Company-6 items
The Safety Council recommends that the Boeing Company provide
emergency evacuation slides in wind gusts guidance information
and reduce PA system failure. Review the effectiveness of
cabin emergency lights and consider incorporating cockpit
surface guidance and navigation technologies.
To International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)-8
items
The Safety Council recommends that ICAO should develop ASDE
standard, amend Annex 14 regarding partially closed runway
equipment, consider accepting ROC to participate in various
ICAO activities as an observer, for the purpose of safety
improvement. Develop high traffic airport ASDE standard and
government/industry objective methods of “wet” or
“contaminated” runway program.Improve emergency
evacuation equipment and develop and issue the necessary SARPs
to ICAO Member States’ regulatory authorities to encourage
them to adopt the necessary regulations to support the installation
and use of cockpit-based surface guidance and navigation technologies.
To International Air Transport Association (IATA)-4 items
The Safety Council recommends that IATA should develop government/industry
possible improvements to emergency evacuation equipment and
procedures for the prevention of future injuries and death
following an aircraft accident. The Safety Council also recommends
that IATA provide guidance information to operate emergency
evacuation slides in wind gusts that exceed the certified
limits. recommends develop procedures for evaluating the airport
infrastructure as part of their out-station audits and use
cockpit surface guidance and navigation system.
To the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the U.S.
and To the Joint Airworthiness Authorities (JAA)-8 items
The Safety Council recommends that FAA provide support to
an international joint government/industry program to develop
possible improvements to emergency evacuation equipment and
procedures for the prevention of future injuries and death
following an aircraft accident. Review emergency slide design
& the effectiveness of cabin emergency lights and finally
initiate rulemaking actions to require the installation on
Boeing aircraft of public address systems that continue to
function following survivable accidents.
