Ensuring the safety of aviation operations is a complex task that requires careful consideration of various factors. NLR can help you assess the impact of changes in operations or future Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts on safety, as well as provide evidence that safety will not be compromised even when regulatory compliance is not feasible.
We can support you in balancing the cost and safety benefits of investments in airport infrastructure, such as runway extensions or re-surfacing, and evaluate the safety implications of new arrival or departure procedures around an airport. Also, we are ready to help you decide whether tall buildings, wind turbines and other objects, can be safely located near a busy airport, to assess and develop safety culture in aviation organisations, to improve Safety Management Systems (SMS), and evaluate the adequacy of institutional arrangements for safety.
We can also assist in investigating the contributing factors of aviation incidents or accidents, analysing flight data to identify operational improvements, and providing insights into aviation safety trends and contributors to unsafe practices. By leveraging our expertise, you can make informed decisions that prioritise safety and minimise risks in your aviation operations.
