Complaints to CHIRP about insufficient time being allowed to report and brief have been increasing in the last few months and are just one of many indicators of the burdens on crews to operate under increasing time pressures. In this instance though, although we can’t claim sole responsibility for the change, it’s pleasing to note that the company have listened to their crews and have increased the time available at this airport to 1hr30mins as of September and so the reporter’s concerns are now addressed.
This reinforces the value of people reporting their concerns and thereby influencing associated data collection, SMS review, and changes to company behaviours. We commend the company for their positive response to the feedback.
