The BGA  Safety  Management  system manual describes  how  clubs  can  report  and  review those  additional  incidents  that  are  not  required  to  be  reported  under  the  established  BGA incident  &  accident reporting  system.

Below is a link to the Incident “Occurrence” Report form, or an electronic form which can be filled in online.

Club internal  incident  reporting  systems  are great for identifying  risks  at  clubs  and  establishing  a  process  through  which  significant  risks  are recognised and addressed by the club.

Reports describe what happened. The next step is to decide what, if anything needs to be done about it. Clubs need to periodically consider the reported club incidents and identify which, if any, are significant enough because of their potential impact and frequency of occurrence to require positive mitigating action within the club.

Some examples of incidents best handled by the club are listed below:

– Inadequate DI
– Potential collision taking off or landing
– Hazardous circuit or approach
– Poor handling
– Groundloop without damage
– Poor parking/ ground collision risk
– Hangar rash
– Pedestrians on the airfield
– Out of date or incomplete paperwork
– Airmanship issues

Please submit the report below, and it will be sent to the CFI and Safety Officer to consider mitigating action and will be recorded in the Club database. You can also download the occurrence form and post in the box in the Clubhouse if you prefer.
