Approval of Safety Reforms

Distribution List:

Oceanic Airlines Team Members

Introduction
Subject Topic:
This report regards new safety procedures that will take effect
after receiving approval.
Report Purpose:
The purpose of this report is to request approval of Oceanic
Airlines new safety procedures. This report focuses on the research and
investigations of Oceanic Airlines previous accidents and former safety
regulations,
Background:
In the past five years, our company has experienced numerous
issues with employees and passengers flight safety. Oceanic Airlines

has had a substantial amount of crashes; many of which resulted in

severe injuries and casualties. Unfortunately, the increasing amount of
casualties has raised some concern among our customers. Many
current customers are not comfortable with our safety procedures and
have therefore discontinued business with Oceanic. In addition, our
accident reports discourage potential customers from even considering
our airlines.
Report Development:
As requested, our engineering department has reviewed accident
reports over the course of the past five years. Together, we have
constructed new products that will be briefed throughout this report.
Each topic in this report will go over information sent back to us from
the engineering department after testing said products. It will also
provide information about the reviewed crashes and the effect they
have had on our company. This report will also cover current concerns
and possible solutions in great detail and offer our recommendations
for how to best implicate these new safety reforms.

Summary
Due to the negative outlook on Oceanic Airlines flight history
over the last few years, the Board of Directors has felt that it has been
necessary to modify our current safety regulations. These
modifications take the safety of both the passengers and the Oceanic

Airlines crew into consideration. These reforms are expected to be

seamlessly implemented by each and every Oceanic Airlines team
member after we receive approval. In addition, we will also begin using
new technologies and aircraft parts to help ensure the safety of our
passengers.

Discussion
Accident Reports:
Over the past five years, Oceanic Airlines has suffered over forty
incidents. These incidents include planes that have either crashed due
to an internal or external force, such a malfunctioning part or
explosion, and planes with which contact was lost and that then failed
to arrive at their appointed destinations. Out of a total of forty-three
incidents, the flights that resulted in the most casualties and financial
repercussions are detailed in the following section.*
Highlighted Crashes:
2010: Total of six crashes
Flight 34: From Tampa, FL to Tokyo, Japan
At 10: 32 am 3 hours after leaving the airport the plane was taken
hostage by a classified terrorist group that ended up crashing the
plane in the Gulf of Mexico 5 miles off the coast of Texas.
Out of the 24 passengers only 15 survived.
Flight 72: From Bishop, CA to Sydney, Australia

 The flight failed to arrive upon scheduled arrival to the Oceanic Airlines
in Sydney. Was found 2 days later in the Pacific Ocean 34 miles off the
coast of Australia.
Out of the 15 passengers only 6 were recovered.
The plane had suffered electrical damage while flying through an
sudden thunderstorm.
2011: Total of ten crashes
Flight 21: From Columbus, OH to Pearl City, HI
Flight failed to arrive to the Oceanic Airlines in Hawaii. Records show
that contact was lost halfway through the flight.
Never was recovered, lost all 34 passengers.
*Please reference individual accident reports for more specific
information in regard to other flight history.
Concerns and Possible Solutions:
First and foremost, the safety of our passengers, patrons,
employees, and stakeholders are our chief concern. All possible
solutions must take the health and well-being of such people into
account. With this in mind, we have proposed a number of solutions to
the problems documented in the Accident Report.
Flight Safety Solutions:
Training of pilots, inspectors, and safety auditors has been
identified as the highest priority solution. A proposal has been
submitted to the board of executives that will help create a partnership
between Oceanic Airlines and The Flight Safety Foundation to ensure
the proper training of all Oceanic Employees. This relationship will have

a contract duration of 2 years. After this provisional period, the

contract will be re-evaluated to determine the effectiveness of this
relationship. If the relationship has shown improvement in Oceanic
Airline safety metrics then the contract will be extended to the
following 5 years. Once approval has been granted, employees will be
sent notifications to enroll in mandatory training courses classified by
the employees department.
New Safety Product Development:
Following recent accident reports, we have designed a new type
of technology to provide our pilots with updated reports on how the
aeronautics of our aircrafts are performing. This new information will
be in a real- time basis. Furthermore, we plan to introduce a new line of
parts for all of our aircrafts. These new parts were specifically designed
with the purpose of keeping each and every passenger, as well as our
staff members, as safe as possible. We also hope to develop and apply
faster and more effective safety procedures in the event of an
unexpected malfunction or weather condition. In addition to these new
safety procedures, we have also raised the inspection standards and
modified the regulations that all Oceanic Airline aircrafts must
successfully execute before each takeoff.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Oceanic Airlines has taken the concerns of the

passengers into account in making all reformations to the safety
procedures and regulations. Not only will the team members of
Oceanic Airlines be expected to complete thorough inspections to
ensure that the aircrafts are prepared for their flights, but they will also
develop new emergency procedures for any unexpected events that
may put the passengers at risk. We will begin developing a partnership
with The Flight Safety Foundation and switch over to the new line of
aircraft parts immediately after your approval is granted.

Recommendations
We recommend that you grant us your approval immediately.
After we receive your approval and implement these safety reforms,
we expect that our passengers will report feeling more safe and at
ease during their flights. The safety reforms will not only benefit our
passengers and the Oceanic Airlines crew, but the company as a
whole.
