Activity No.
Name: Samson, Angelo D.

Section: BSAMT 3-BADGER
Instructions: Identify the possible consequence(s) of the given hazards. You may consider harm to people,
impact to environment, financial, regulatory and maintenance operation, as applicable.
Example:
Airfield Apron Operation
Hazard: Lack of foreign object debris (FOD) control
Consequence(s): FOD may be ingested in the engine during take-off, landing or during engine run-up. This
may cause damage to the engine.
Runway Operations
1. Distracting lights
Consequence(s): Distracting lights can obstruct the vision of the pilot especially when landing,
that can lead to a fatal crash.
2. Lack of coordination with Air Traffic Control (ATC)
Consequence(s): Miscommunication is a very dangerous thing in the aviation industry, it can lead
to loss of human lives.
3. Improper, inadequate, or lack of Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) issuance
Consequence(s): NOTAMs that are critical to the safe planning and execution of a flight for a pilot
operating under instrument flight rules. If lack of NOTAMs occurred it can lead to complications
in the runway.
4. Laser beams
Consequence(s): Laser beams can distract or impair the vision of the pilot while landing or taking
off.
Runway Condition
5. Poor condition or improper runway surface

Consequence(s): The runway surface for a specific airport is noted in the FAA's Chart Supplement.
"Any surface that is not hard and smooth increases the ground roll during takeoff. This is due to
the inability of the tires to roll smoothly along the runway. Tires can sink into soft, grassy, or
muddy runways.
6. Inadequate runway length
Consequence(s): Premature rotation increases drag, decreases acceleration, and increases

takeoff distance.
Airside Vehicle Operations
7. Leaving engine running while vehicle is unattended
Consequence(s): Excessive idling can actually damage your engine components, including
cylinders, spark plugs and exhaust systems. Fuel is only partially combusted when idling because
an engine does not operate at its peak temperature.
8. Lack of coordination between vehicles during aircraft servicing
Consequence(s): Increased workload, especially for the accepting sector. A situation that was
supposed to be coordinated but was not is often discovered after some time and has the potential
to ruin the controller's plan. A new plan needs to be made in such situation, with less than the
usual time available.
Action of Individuals
9. Use of cell phone within 15 meters of a refueling operation
Consequence(s): All approved company cell phone use must be kept at least 50 feet from any
vehicle or aircraft refueling operation, parked refueling vehicles, fuel storage areas, aviator’s
breathing oxygen storage, and any other hazardous material storage areas.
10. Littering on ramp
Consequence(s): Aircraft run the risk of striking ground support vehicles, other aircraft, and even
ground workers. Jet blast is another significant threat to ground operations while jets are in
phases of movement under their own power.
Aerodrome Facilities
11. Faulty, incorrect or incomplete airfield markings (especially in movement areas)
Consequence(s): When the process is done poorly, the markings can fail within weeks or months.
It might cause some confusion on the aviation personnel
12. Faulty, incorrect, or incomplete airfield lighting (especially in movement areas)
Consequence(s): From the workers' perspective, poor lighting at work can lead to eye-strain,
fatigue, headaches, stress and accidents.
Traffic Pattern:
13. Unauthorized flights entering into traffic pattern
Consequence(s): Large and turbine-powered aircraft enter the traffic pattern at an altitude of not
less than 1,500 feet AGL or 500 feet above the established pattern altitude.
14. Unauthorized procedures by aircraft
Consequence(s): Unlawful interference is considered a serious hazard to aviation because the

consequences of such acts may impact not only the aircraft and those onboard but also potentially
high number of people or critical installations on the ground. Therefore, a variety of
countermeasures have been developed.
Aircraft Loading
15. Incorrect cargo loading and distribution
Consequence(s): Improper loading decreases the efficiency and performance of an aircraft from
the standpoint of altitude, maneuverability, rate of climb, and speed. It may even be the cause of
failure to complete the flight or, for that matter, failure to start the flight.
16. Improper or unauthorized hazardous materials carriage
Consequence(s): Shipments of Undeclared Dangerous Goods Can Have Serious Consequences,

but. Their Nature and Frequency Are Difficult to Estimate 11 Government and Industry Rely on
Several Mechanisms to Prevent
Preflight Preparation
17. Lack of or poor aircraft dispatch or release
Consequence(s): loss of revenue, loss of passenger confidence in airline, loss of repeat business,
airline’s reputation damaged, consequences for ground handling agents, e.g., penalties, loss of
contracts, staff redundancies
18. Lack of or poor maintenance release
Consequence(s): The processes that affect an aircraft are deterioration with age (e.g., fatigue,
wear, and corrosion) as well as chance failures (e.g., Tyre burst, excess structural loads).
Tooling
19. Mis-calibrated tools
Consequence(s): If you do not calibrate your equipment, it would be inaccurate when you use it.
20. Inappropriate or incorrect use of tools for the task
Consequence(s): The most severe result in accidents and loss of life. For example, failure to
replace horizontal stabilizer screws on a Continental Express aircraft resulted in in-#ight leading-
edge separation and 14 fatalities
