Assessing the Construction of a FRAT
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Flight Risk Assessment Tool is in practical terms a preflight evaluation of potential threats but in an effort to assist our crews, are we overwhelming them with information? In this episode we address issues like: what items should be included on the FRAT, what should be the basis for the scoring, its intended purpose, and more. This is a great discussion to get your wheels turning.
