What is a Task Resource Analysis (TRA)
establish justification as to the minimum number of qualified/competent personnel required to deliver an effective airport RFF service (RFFS) to deal with an aircraft incident/accident.
establish justification as to the minimum number of equipment required to deliver an effective airport RFF service (RFFS) to deal with an aircraft incident/accident.
If an airport operator requires the RFFS to attend structural incidents and road traffic accidents in addition to aircraft incidents/accidents, due regard must be given to the inability of not meeting required response times and robust procedures should be introduced accordingly
True
False
By using a qualitative risk based approach, which focuses upon probable and credible worst-case scenarios a task and resource analysis should be done to identify the minimum number of personnel required to undertake identified tasks in real time before supporting external services are able to effectively assist RFFS
True
False
In Task Resource Analysis, consideration should also be given to the types of _____ using the aerodrome, as well as the need for personnel to use self-contained breathing apparatus, handlines, ladders and other RFF equipment provided at the aerodrome associated with aircraft RFF operations.
aircraft
work
system
vehicle
In Task Resource Analysis, the airport operator should first establish the minimum requirements including:
minimum number of RFFS vehicles and equipment required for the delivery of the extinguishing agents at the required discharge rate for the specified RFF category of the airport.
True
False
A task analysis should primarily consist of a ______ analysis of the RFFS response to a realistic, worst-case, aircraft accident scenario.
quantity
qualitative
risk
preditive
What is the purpose of qualitative analysis?
to review the current and future equipment levels deployed at the aerodrome.
to review the current and future staffing levels of the RFFS deployed at the aerodrome.
to review the current and future procedures of the RFFS deployed at the aerodrome.
The qualitative analysis could be supported by a quantitative risk assessment to estimate the reduction in risk. This risk assessment could be related to the reduction in risk to passengers and aircrew from deploying additional personnel. One of the most important elements is to assess the impact of any critical tasks or pinch points identified by the qualitative analysis.
True
False
Qualitative approach. The task analysis including a workload assessment aims to identify the effectiveness of the current staffing level and to identify the level of improvement resulting from additional staffing. A credible worst-case accident scenario should be analysed to assess the relative effectiveness of at least ___ levels of RFFS staffing.
One
Two
Three
Four
What is the purpose for Quantitative risk assessment
to support the conclusions of the task analysis by examining the risks to passengers and aircrew from aircraft accidents at the airport.
to support the conclusions of the qualitative analysis by examining the risks to passengers and aircrew from aircraft accidents at the airport.
Which of the following items below will not assist in determining the basic contents of a task analysis?
Operational hours
Description of aerodrome(s) including the number of runways
Promulgated RFFS categories (Aeronautical Information Publication)
Number of PPEs used
Which of the following items below will not assist in determining the basic contents of a task analysis?
Response time criteria (area, times and number of fire stations)
Current and future types of aircraft movements
Communications and RFFS alerting system including extraneous duties
None of the above
There are how many phases for the Task Resource Analysis?
3
4
5
6
Task Resource Analysis - Phase 1 (The airport operator must be clear as to the aims and objectives for the RFF services, and the required tasks that personnel are expected to carry out)
True
False
Task Resource Analysis - Phase 2 (The airport operator must be clear as to the aims and objectives for the RFF services, and the required tasks that personnel are expected to carry out)
True
False
Task Resource Analysis - Phase 2 (Identify the types of aircraft commonly in use at the airport; this is important as the type of aircraft and its configuration has a direct bearing on the resources required in meeting Phase 1. It may be necessary to group the aircraft types in relation to common aircraft configurations for ease of analysis or identify precise aircraft type that may have a unique configuration).
False
True
Task Resource Analysis - Phase 2 (Identify a selection of representative realistic, feasible accidents that may occur at the airport. This can be achieved by a statistical analysis of previous accidents on airports and by analysing data from international, national and local sources)
True
False
Task Resource Analysis - Phase 3 (Identify the types of aircraft commonly in use at the airport; this is important as the type of aircraft and its configuration has a direct bearing on the resources required in meeting Phase 1. It may be necessary to group the aircraft types in relation to common aircraft configurations for ease of analysis or identify precise aircraft type that may have a unique configuration.)
True
False
Task Resource Analysis - Phase 4 (Every airport is unique in that the location, environment, runway and taxiway configuration, aircraft movements, airport infrastructure and boundary, etc., may present specific additional risks.)
True
False
Task Resource Analysis - Phase 5 (Phase 5 combines the accident types to be examined as described in Phase 2, with the aircraft identified in Phase 3 and the locations as described in Phase 4; the accident types should be correlated with the possible location. In some cases this could be in more than one location on an airport, for which a task and resource analysis needs to be carried out.)
True
False
Task Resource Analysis - Phase 6 (By using a TRA facilitator with teams of experienced airport supervisors and firefighters the accident scenario(s) developed in Phase 5 is subject to a task and resource analysis carried out in a series of tabletop exercises/simulations.)
True
False
Conclusion. A task analysis can be as detailed as necessary. The aim is to itemize the _____ and _______ (doing) involved in carrying out the task or function effectively and to the correct the standard of competence based on a qualitative analysis
knowledge, practical skills
knowledge, physical skills
physical skills, practical skills
