Risk Analysis Event

From the sideways PDF sent on the listserve:

Risk Analysis Event (RAE): An event that involves a loss of separation where less than 66% of required sparation was maintained, and verified by recorded radar data.
What you can expect as a controller or Facrep involved in an RAE:

*Employee shall be notified as soon as possible- this notification shall not occur while the employee is on position.
*Employee shall be offered and afforded suffiecient duty time to file an ATSAP report. Timelines will be based on the actual allocation of duty time.
*Employee shall be permitted to review performance and recorded data concerning the occurence prior to submitting an ATSAP report.

Employee may be asked to participate in an RAE interview conducted by ATO-Safety personnel.

FACREP:

Management must notify the Facrep of all the BUEs to be interviewed within one administrative day.

ATO Safety will collaborate with the Facrep and the local facility management with at least three administrative days notice of the interview schedule.
