Flight Risk Assessment Tool Worksheet (Two-Sided)

This document outlines a three-step flight risk assessment tool: 1. Identify risks in categories like pilot qualifications, aircraft equipment, weather, and external pressures. 2. Assess the likelihood and severity of each risk using a color-coded matrix to determine an overall risk level. 3. Mitigate risks by taking actions to lower likelihood and severity, with risks in red or yellow categories requiring more urgent mitigation either before flight or in some cases by diverting the flight.

FLIGHT RISK ASSESSMENT TOOL

WORKSHEET (T WO-SIDED)
Three step process: IDENTIFY, ASSESS, MITIGATE.
Conduct before departure and in flight.

STEP 1: IDENTIFY THE RISKS (Complete second column below)

MITIGATION/NEW RISK
Likelihood Severity Overall RED – MUST mitigate.
(probability) (consequences) Risk Level YELLOW – SHOULD mitigate.
RISK CATEGORY HAZARD AND RISK (see reverse) (see reverse) (color) GREEN – ACCEPT no unnecessary risk.

STEP 2: ASSESS THE RISKS (Complete third, fourth and fifth columns on front worksheet using the descriptors in the matrix below)

Risk Likelihood Descriptors Risk Severity Descriptors


Risk Assessment Matrix
Probable: an event will occur Catastrophic: results in fatalities
Severity several times. and/or total loss.
Likelihood
Catastrophic Critical Marginal Negligible
Occasional: an event will Critical: results in severe injury
Probable High High Serious Medium probably occur sometime. and/or major damage.
Occasional High Serious Medium Low Remote: an event is unlikely to Marginal: results in minor injury
Remote Serious Medium Medium Low occur, but is possible. and/or minor damage.
Improbable Medium Medium Medium Low Improbable: an event is highly Negligible: results in less than
unlikely to occur. minor injury and/or minor damage.

STEP 3: MITIGATE THE RISKS (Complete sixth column on worksheet. Specify new overall risk level after mitigation.)
1. Risk mitigation strategy: Take actions to reduce likelihood and/or severity to lower levels for each identified risk in
accordance with step two. Use this worksheet until risk management process becomes intuitive, or conditions remain com-
plex.

2. Mitigation guidelines for assessed risk:

RED (HIGH): Risk likelihood and/or severity MUST be reduced to lower levels before departure. If in flight, risk likelihood and/
or severity MUST be reduced by taking appropriate divert or other actions.

YELLOW (SERIOUS): Risk likelihood and/or severity SHOULD be reduced to lower levels before departure. If in flight, risk likeli-
hood and/or severity SHOULD be reduced by taking appropriate divert or other actions.

GREEN (MEDIUM): Flight can depart or continue, but risk severity and/or likelihood SHOULD be reduced whenever possible.

WHITE (LOW): Risks can usually be addressed by following checklists and complying with normal procedures.
