It may be many miles from my home shores and the words may have been spoken by an American but they rang somewhat true to the situation at home where the new and developing National Police Air Service is still finding its feet. I was sitting in on the Unit Managers Course when the instructor, a greatly respected man who earned his respect by running a large and successful air operation, reminded his stu- dents of their purpose in life. “If the cops on the street are not screaming for you to come in the expectation of getting [air support] help, the operation is flawed and should be considered a failure” Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT BRAZIL PARA: Emergency services aviation in Brazil has reportedly fallen on hard times.

    Recommended Best Practices for Commercial Operators

    OPERATIONS IN AIRSPACE CLASS E IN GERMANY BELOW FL100 RECOMMENDED BEST PRACTICES FOR COMMERCIAL OPERATORS The following best practices have been developed by flight safety officers and experts to enhance the safety of operations in airspace Class E below FL100 to prevent collisions between controlled and uncontrolled aircraft in a mixed traffic environment. Recommendations for training departments and pilots • IMPROVE AIRSPACE AWARENESS Train pilots to be aware of shortfalls in the existing airspace structure – annual training and NOT only by bulletin using two components: o Generic briefing on airspace Class E in Germany o Dedicated airport briefing documents o Include risk and threats in unprotected airspace in individual departure and arrival briefing • OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS o FLY DEFENSIVELY! o Maintain Minimum Clean Airspeed or as slow as reasonable o Request to use protected airspace – minimise time in airspace Class E and refuse shortcuts if necessary. Most standard departures and approaches/transitions will facilitate this. o Descend according to airspace structure on arrival. Steep/expedited climb through airspace Class E on departure. o Consider airspace structure for engine out procedures o Consider delaying take-off if conflict with other aircraft is anticipated • USE OF AUTOMATION IN AIRSPACE CLASS ECHO o Minimise visual approaches – they require additional attention and increase flight time in unprotected airspace o Maximise lookout capacity through use of automation (FMS/task sharing) • SEE AND AVOID o Maximise lookout
