Overview

The introduction of Performance Based Management (PBM) will require a change of mindset from the current rule-based systems. Those working in the aviation safety field, whether as regulators, manufacturers, maintainers or operators, will need to understand the principles of this approach as the new performance based regulations are introduced.

This event will outline the key features of PBM and then go on to investigate and discuss the issues and difficulties which will need to be addressed before and during the introduction of this type of regulation and oversight.

Benefits of attendance:

- An introduction into the key features of performance based management
- The latest insight into the application of PBM in other industries
- An understanding of the issues and difficulties surrounding the introduction of PBM
- The ability to network and compare notes with other delegates faced with the application of PBM in their organisations

Speakers confirmed include:

- Belinda Swain, Chief Airworthiness Engineer, Rolls-Royce Plc
- Pete Young , DSA-MAA-AP-Analysis-Airworthiness, MOD

WORKING GROUPS: PERFORMANCE-BASED MANAGEMENT

HOW TO MAXIMISE THE IMPACT ON AIRWORTHINESS

Delegates will divide into four groups and discuss the application of PBM. They will be asked to discuss the pros, cons and challenges of implementing PBM. The working groups will aim to synthesise the morning’s presentations and provide further understanding of how this will impact your role.

How can PBM be successfully applied in each sector of the airworthiness lifecycle?
These working groups will allow you to increase your awareness of the impact of PBM
in your industry and understand what best practice already exists.

These discussion groups will be led by:

Peter Moores, Chair - AirTAC, Institution of Mechanical Engineers
John Bristow, Visiting Professor, Cranfield University
Bob Simmons, Director, Baines Simmons
Roger Holliday, Airworthiness Consultant

15:00
NETWORKING REFRESHMENT BREAK

15:30
FEEDBACK OF DISCUSSION POINTS
Delegates will be asked to feedback their discussion points to the room and offer their thoughts on PBM, with the view to taking questions from the attendees.

As a result of the discussion groups a document will be produced with a summary of the main points. This will be circulated to all attendees following the seminar.

END OF SEMINAR

Belinda Swain: Chief Airworthiness Engineer, Rolls-Royce

Belinda Swain is Chief Airworthiness Engineer, having joined Rolls-Royce in 1985 after studying Physics at Oxford University. In 2012 she received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the WISE Women of Outstanding Achievement Awards.

Belinda played a key role within the team that developed the EJ200 engine for the Typhoon fighter jet and from there, went on to become Chief Engineer when the Typhoon went into service. In her current role, Belinda and her team ensure that processes meet strict airworthiness regulations, working with European aviation industry bodies such as ASD, as well as airlines to improve civil aviation safety and keep pace with new technology.

Pete Young: DSA-MAA-AP-Analysis-Airworthiness, Ministry of Defence

Pete Young is a Chartered Engineer with 25 years of military engineering experience within the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm. He has worked on Harriers, Wessex, Sea King, Lynx and Wildcat aircraft and was a mechanical engineering authority desk officer with the Lynx PT.

He has also been a PT facing desk officer within the MAA Oversight and Approvals Division and developed the MAA approach to Part M (CAMO) approvals within the military domain. He currently leads as an Airworthiness Analyst within the MAA Analysis and Plans Division.

Nick Barnett: Airworthiness Team, DE&S

Nick Barnett acts as the Head of Safety & Engineering (Air Support). He joined DE&S in 2008 to establish this role in response to the Nimrod XV230 accident. Previously he was acting Director General (Scrutiny & Analysis), heading up the Defence Acquisition Change Programme’s Approvals work stream.

His early career focused on aero-engine project management roles in defence procurement including post-design support of Rolls-Royce aero engines, aero engine commodities, and Anglo-French helicopter engines. After a four year secondment to NAMMA (now NETMA), he joined the Nimrod project team, before joining the Eurofighter project where he was responsible for the EJ200 engine and its integration, amongst other systems.

Liz Davies: Head of Safety Performance, RSSB

Liz Davies has a background in mathematics, statistics and psychology. She has worked for the Rail Safety & Standards Board (RSSB) since 2002, leading a team of people who carry out safety performance analysis across the whole of the railway system risk profile. Prior to entering the rail industry, Liz worked in aviation safety for 13 years, first for UK NATS and then for Eurocontrol, where she specialised in the analysis of mid-air collision risk.

Mark Barker: Principal Surveyor - Airworthiness, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)

Mark Barker is Principal Surveyor for the UK CAA Civil and Military Approvals Sector, with current responsibility for civil production oversight and contracted military design audits on behalf of the MAA.

Mark joined the CAA in 1996 with experience as a quality manager responsible for QMS compliance across several industrial sectors, including civil aerospace (design, production and component maintenance) and defence.

Mark has previously led the oversight of several of the UK’s major aerospace organisations for design and production and has been nominated to support roll-out of the CAA’s performance-based ‘Entity’ approach to key stakeholders across the airworthiness discipline.
