Business Aviation Responds

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Procedural non-compliance (PNC) is a top safety priority for the business aviation community, including NBAA and NTSB, with NBAA developing resources to address it.
  • The core issue leading to PNC is often a gradual erosion of professionalism, which implicitly allows crewmembers to ignore established procedures.
  • Key markers indicating a risk of PNC include "permission to deviate" by senior crew, a lax attitude on flights without passengers, pressures from environmental or dispatched "pop-up" flights, and crew fatigue or physiological stress.

To its credit, the business aviation community has risen to meet the challenge of procedural noncompliance. I serve on the National Business Aviation Association’s (NBAA) Safety Committee and for 2015, procedural non-compliance is one of the committee’s top safety priorities. I should point out that procedural noncompliance (PNC) is also on the NTSB’s 2015 Most Wanted List.

The NBAA Safety Committee developed resources to help address the procedural non-compliance issue. They can be found on NBAA’s web site.
