The BGA Safety Management system manual describes how clubs can report and review those additional incidents that are not required to be reported under the established BGA incident & accident reporting system.
Club internal incident reporting systems are great for identifying risks at clubs and establishing a process through which significant risks are recognised and addressed by the club.
Reports describe what happened. The next step is to decide what, if anything needs to be done about it. Clubs need to periodically consider the reported club incidents and identify which, if any, are significant enough because of their potential impact and frequency of occurrence to require positive mitigating action within the club.
Some examples of incidents best handled by the club are listed below:
- Inadequate DI
- Potential collision taking off or landing
- Hazardous circuit or approach
- Poor handling
- Groundloop without damage
- Poor parking/ ground collision risk
- Hangar rash
- Pedestrians on the airfield
- Out of date or incomplete paperwork
- Airmanship issues
Please submit the report below, and it will be sent to the CFI and Safety Officer to consider mitigating action and will be recorded in the Club database. You can also download the occurrence form (pdf) and post in the box in the Clubhouse if you prefer.
