### DISCREPANCY FAA ASSESSMENT FINDINGS January 30- February 3, 2012 NORTHEASTERN AVIATION (AOYA)

RESPONSE AND ACTION PLANS 

## General Operations Manual

Other Commercial Flying: Northeastern has a documented procedure forpilots to record OtherCommercial Flying Time requiring pilots to report ormake available flight time records from all other commercial flying 14 

### activities within 7 days prior to duty. [GOM Section 1Chapter 4 4.9] There are no records found from known pilots who are actively flying outside ofNortheastern. There is a potential ofa pilot being assigned fli ht du without having ade nate rest and/or exceedin fli ht and du time limitations.

ANALYSIS /INVESTIGATION Analysis shows NEA could utilize a better system for the tracking of Flight, Duty and rest times offlight crew members outside ofthe Company. The seven day notification is not realistic to ensure compliance with requirements. NEA will developed an new process and procedures utilizing industry best practices.



### CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN IMMEDIATEACTION:



### A Company Operations Bulletin will be issued to all flight crew (full and part-time) explaining the new procedures. CORRECTIVEACTION:



### Athe GOM will be revised at the new update reflecting the newly established tracking system for Flight, Duty and rest requirements outside ofthe Company.
