Eclipse Aviation strongly recommends that pilots continue to use these
tools and procedures during normal operations until they are comfortable
with their use and can effectively identify, assess, and mitigate risk
without reference to them.
2. Pilots should conduct preliminary pre-flight planning procedures prior to
a proposed flight so that applicable data can be gathered for risk
management purposes.
performance data, and other information will be needed to accurately
identify, assess, and mitigate risks.
(route planning, fueling, filing flight plan, etc.) should be deferred until the
risk identification and risk assessment process is completed.
3. Following pre-flight planning, the pilot should use the risk management
tool to identify and record potential hazards for the proposed flight and
then identify and record the risks of those hazards.
4. Following risk identification, the pilot should use the risk management
tool to assess identified risks by determining their potential severity and
likelihood, using the categories on the risk assessment matrix. The pilot
will then classify risks as high, medium, or low, using the matrix.
5. Following risk assessment, the pilot should review all aspects of the
proposed flight to determine options with regard to risk mitigation. For
example, the pilot could select a different route, change departure times,
change the fuel load or take other steps.
6. The pilot should then complete the risk mitigation portion of the risk
management tool to execute decisions regarding mitigation. All risks
classified as high must be mitigated to reduce the severity and/or
likelihood of the risks. Medium risk areas should also be mitigated to the
extent possible and pilots must be willing to accept any residual risks.
Low risk areas do not require mitigation but any risk which can be readily
mitigated should be.
7. Following completion of the risk management tool, remaining pre-flight
preparation should be accomplished.
8. In flight, Eclipse 500 pilots must continue active risk management
procedures. New hazards and risks may be identified, requiring the pilot
to assess them and potentially take action to mitigate them.
advanced technology in the Eclipse 500 will be useful in mitigating risk
and the pilots should employ effective SRM procedures as outlined in
the next section.
