Ryanair – Company Overview• Europe’s #1 Airline• Carrying over 129m customers p.a – heading for 200m by 2025• 2000 daily flights with avg. LF 95%• Fleet of 420 - B737-800 (x1 -700 + x3 LJ45)• Massive aircraft orders – 240 B737s to come• 32 year industry leading safety record

Key Operational Risk Areas (KORAs)

Risk Assessment (Bowtie)
Runway Incursion / Excursion Statistics• 2 runway incursions every day in Europe.
• 30 runway excursion accidents per year.
• Estimated cost of excursions to industry over $1 billion.
• RWY Incursion events increasing in a “statistically significant way.”
Leading cause?
Pilot Deviations (55%)

Excursions commonly result from:- RTO after V1- Go-around not conducted- Touchdown long
Mitigations• Threat and Error Management (TEM) • Briefing of the intended taxi route • Runway entry SOPs• Landing Gate• VSD

MOST ROBUST BARRIER
Safety Net – RAASRAAS – Runway Awareness and Advisory System
• Honeywell have developed the technology called Smartlanding & Smartrunway• Offers improved situation awareness for the flight crew• Helps reduce the probability of runway incursion incidents and accidents • Delivers this through Aural and Visual messages to prompt flight crews during safety
critical phases of operation (Taxi, T/O, App, Landing/Rollout)• Stabilised Approach Monitor• Linked to the PCP AF2.5.2 (Implement Aircraft and Vehicle Systems Contributing to
Airport Safety Nets)• Comparable to Airbus’ Runway Overrun Prevention System (ROPS)

RAAS – How it works? • The Basics: RAAS delivers 4 categories of Aural Annunciations (Routine / Non Routine
Advisories & Cautions)On ground In flight
Stabilised Approach Monitor Non-Routine Advisories/Cautions

Ryanair – RAAS Implementation1. Simulator Trials (19/08/14)
• Two configurations extensively tested by line crew• Simulator trials with multiple choice questionnaires
Enhanced S/A
Improved Safety

Ryanair – RAAS ImplementationAircraft Testing• Aircraft trials conducted in cooperation with Honeywell (MKV & MKV-A EGPWS) at PIK
to establish:• Is system configuration appropriate? – Every available scenario performed • Can configuration be improved? – Honeywell made rapid config change possible• Are system anomalies present? – Go no go fleetwide • Are volume levels suitable?

Ryanair – RAAS ImplementationFlight Crew Training & Certification• EASA scrutiny for approved AFMS and STC. – We are still under IAAs Trial Status• Training material developed and delivered to pilots in January 2016• First RAAS equipped Ryanair revenue flight September 2016• Currently 361 Aircraft Equipped (85%)

Ryanair – Experience with RAAS
20/02/2018 12
NOTETake-off Flaps’ 12% is Due to winter operations conditions.
There was no incident of Take-off without flaps
Based on 200’000 sectors. Not yet fully linked to OFDM so reported through internal ASR/CSR
Ryanair – Challenges with RAAS• During trials it was found that:
• Runway Idents change quite often• EGPWS databases aren’t updated as often as the AIRAC• NOTAM impact can’t be accounted for in DBs sue to temporary nature (3 months
less)• Ryanair propose, If not in TDZ, “LONG LANDING” is G/A otherwise continue

Summary
• Ryanair Recognises Runway Excursion & Incursion as a safety issue• RAAS is powerful tool to mitigate• But it’s a decision making aid, not a replacement of pilots
• We are engaging with EASA regarding Long landing issue (12/01/2018)• They must recognise the risks involved in unnecessary Go Arounds
