Q

What is meant by ‘Land Immediately’ for RW aircraft?

A

Land at once even if this means ditching or landing in the trees.

Q

What is the swiss cheese model?

A

Incidents are often the result of a series of events. Breaking one link in the chain of events may stop the incident.

Cheeses are layers of defence, but no defence is perfect and each has a hole.

Any layer of defence can prevent an incident, but when if the holes all line up, then the likelihood of an incident occurring will increase.

When these holes line up it can lead to an incident/accident.

Normally never just one factor, but multiple occurrences leading to an accident.
