S76 LOSA LITE COMING HOME

S76 'LOSA-Lite' Coming Home – an Aura First
Not a disaster video – just our client’s S76 coming home safe to Port Harcourt after Aura Assurance’s first LOSA-Lite. It is ‘Lite’ because the cabin configuration precludes a traditional ICAO 9803 LOSA observation – so for this we conduct all the usual Pre-Flight and Post-Flight observations and cover the flight phase with a GoPro. While not ‘ideal’ we have been able to extract a number of valuable Findings and Observations for our client.
Almost as striking was the palpable ‘engagement effect’ on the flight crew, engineers and dispatchers – who were all very interested in what we were trying. Many of Aura’s on-site observational audits and engagements generate this engagement effect – where staff genuinely enjoy having someone taking a professional interest in them. James Reason would probably put this under his Learning Culture element of an effective Safety Culture.
Delighted to have overcome the aircraft configuration challenge here and deliver an effective LOSA to our client.
