    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of the urgent dissemination process to ensure timely receipt of safety-critical information by all applicable end users

    Wider context from the report

    “It is not clear to me at the end of this inquiry as to whether Martin Baker Aircraft have a sufficiently comprehensive, robust and auditable system in place that will ensure that in the event of a need for a safety warning or a safety critical alteration to maintenance procedures being issued in the future, it will be sent to and received by all end users of the applicable seat or seats within an appropriate timescale. My concern relates the companies process for the urgent dissemination of safety critical information in this respect. ”

    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Martin-Baker; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of a design solution preventing strap misrouting in the strap-ring process

    Wider context from the report

    “Martin Baker (the manufacturers of the ejection seat) continue to manufacture, and the MOD continue to operate aircraft incorporating ejection seats in respect of which there continues to be a significant risk of the strap-ring process impacting negatively on the safe operation of the ejection seat, principally in consequence of strap misrouting. This risk continues despite pilot instruction, training and specific warning to seek to ensure that it does not occur. My concern is that no design solution, to a well-established problem in this regard, has yet been found. ”
