EASA SIB 2013-20
WITHDRAWN - RECOMMENDATIONS NOT NEEDED ANYMORE
Summary
EASA Safety Information Bulletin No. 2013-20 is an informational document addressing bounced landing recognition and recovery training for aeroplane manufacturers, operators, training organisations, and flight crews. It references an incident involving an ATR72-202 and highlights the importance of proper training to manage bounced landings, which can lead to runway excursions and aircraft damage. The bulletin provides guidance on training content and recovery techniques but does not mandate any regulatory requirements.
What Changed
This bulletin introduces recommendations for pilot training on bounced landing recognition and recovery, encouraging manufacturers to include guidance in manuals and operators to ensure appropriate training is provided. It emphasizes the inclusion of causal factors and recovery techniques in training syllabi and suggests using Safety Management Systems to mitigate risks. The document does not impose mandatory requirements but serves as a best practice advisory.
Why It Matters
Bounced landings can cause significant safety risks including runway excursions, aircraft damage, and injuries. Proper recognition and recovery training help flight crews manage these events effectively, reducing accident risk. For operators and training organisations, incorporating this guidance enhances safety culture and operational risk management related to approach and landing phases.
What To Do
Manufacturers should provide guidance on bounced landing recovery techniques in manuals if not already available. Operators and training organisations need to ensure flight crews receive training on bounced landing recognition and recovery, including causal factors and recommended techniques consistent with manufacturer manuals. Use of Safety Management Systems to assess and mitigate bounced landing risks is encouraged. No compliance deadlines are specified.
