Duration: 7 minutes Service: Navy |
| Summary: This DVD begins as a light-hearted look at the sorts of things that can go wrong with a young man’s date. However, as it progresses it starts to look at a lot of other errors that aren’t so funny. Set to catchy music, this short film looks at a number of errors on board a ship that can lead to problems on an aircraft or result in a person being injured. Although it appears light-hearted, the message is very strong: Be safe, not sorry. Flight safety takes teamwork. Flight safety involves not only aircrew and maintainers, but all members of a ship. |

Title: Get it Right Duration: 6 minutes Service: Navy |
| Summary: Featuring an R&B band playing the song ‘Get it Right’, this DVD focuses on the requirement for attention to detail throughout an extended deployment. Featuring Sea King and Harrier operations on an RN aircraft carrier, the DVD shows aircrew and maintenance personnel making errors when their attention strays from the job at hand. |

Duration: 11 minutes Service: Navy |
Summary: This DVD looks at a number of situations where using the STOP principle can be applied. These situations must be recognised and acted upon quickly – they are very important for safe aircraft operations. The DVD uses a successful medivac, where pressure may have caused a different outcome, to illustrate that using the STOP principle has resulted in a positive outcome. As such, this DVD is an excellent positive reinforcement for the workplace. |

Duration: 10 minutes Service: Army |
| Summary: This DVD is based on a real account of maintenance errors that occurred during a servicing and modification on a Lynx helicopter and almost led to a fatal crash. The DVD uses the servicing scenario to discuss maintenance errors, how they occur, why they occur and when they are most likely to occur. The program then discusses how maintenance error can be avoided. This DVD is an excellent tool for discussing the consequences of maintenance error and the reasons for remaining within the approved maintenance system. A good DVD to watch if there have been a number of maintenance errors occurring within your workplace. |

Title: Too Much Pressure – Human Factors in Army Aviation Duration: 16 minutes Service: Army |
| Summary: Commencing with a catchy intro, this DVD depicts an example of increasing pressure put upon the crew of a Lynx helicopter to conduct a routine training sortie. As this pressure increases, the overall situational awareness of the crew is degraded, resulting in a wire strike accident that could have been avoided. Although aircrew focussed, the analysis of the accident draws out lessons available on fatigue, diet, over tasking, assumptions, poor communication and ‘must do’ attitude. These lessons could be used to generate discussion about how these features are also prevalent in the maintenance workforce, and how maintainers have just as much responsibility and right to call ‘Knock It Off’ when things are not going right. |

Duration: 30 minutes Service: Air Force |
| Summary: Originally produced in 1984, this DVD features some great 80s fashions and questionable sideburns. However, the story presented shows that not much has changed in two decades. A mixture of competing pressures placed on both the aircrew and groundcrew distracts from the primary task of flying the aircraft – leading to a fatal accident. The DVD is fairly aircrew focused, but could be used effectively at a combined maintenance and aircrew safety standdown. |
|
 |
Title: Focused Duration: 22 minutes Service: Air Force |
| Summary: This DVD presents a very real scenario. A busy Tornado Squadron is preparing for and conducting an overseas deployment. Pressure on resources and personnel is inevitable as the Squadron is posed with all the problems faced by every deploying unit including lack of spares, poor workspace, undermanning and accommodation and family issues. Inevitably error creeps into the equation and one mission almost ends in disaster. Whilst this DVD focuses mainly on aircrew, it does present the problems facing the maintenance crew that lead to a maintenance error. The DVD production is of a very high quality using real aircraft footage. An excellent DVD to use during pre-deployment briefings. |

Title: It’s Not my Problem Duration: 24 minutes Service: Air Force |
| Summary: This DVD shows the direct impact that the logistics support elements of engineering, supply, contracts and finance have on the flight safety of front line operations. The link between these support activities and potential aircraft accidents / incidents is highlighted by using fictitious support problems to demonstrate the implications for a UK force committed to a multi-national overseas operation. Although set in a UK Air Force environment, the messages that this DVD contains about the importance of personnel throughout the logistics and engineering chains makes in relevant to all three services. It would also be appropriate for SPO staff to assist them in understanding how crucial their roles are. |

 |
Title: Off Chocks On Time Duration: 18 minutes Service: Air Force |
| Summary: This DVD talks on the pressures placed on all members, the pressures can be generated from the home, family, workplace. These pressures create opportunities for shortcuts to be taken and mistakes to occur, which eventually develop into accidents, creating further stress. The DVD shows simulated footage on several true incidents that have occurred due to human error, a lack of concentration and poor supervision. The DVD reiterates that working safely is the No 1 priority. An excellent DVD which focuses on the requirement to work safely on and around aircraft. |
|
 |
Title: Trouble with FOD Duration: 6 minutes Service: Air Force |
| Summary: Produced in 1992, this DVD is a bit dated in terms of its political correctness in that it features a rather attractive female ‘FOD detective’ prowling the hangar floor in search of FOD related crimes. However, the dated nature of the clip makes it memorable. Set to a song titled ‘Trouble’, this short and catchy clip is applicable to all three services and could be used for initial joining briefs, education of non-technical personnel about the dangers of FOD, or for continuation training following any FOD-related incident. |
