Mission Acceptance and Launch Authorization #38
Comments
MALA requirements are located here: https://portal-portail.cadets.gc.ca/en/CANCDTGEN/Pages/ord/7002-7-ANN_B.aspx. Some key pieces besides the risk grid itself is what happens with the total score:
I imagine that before a flight gets launched we could require that the MALA gets filled out and if it meets MODERATE or HIGH then it could trigger a popup (or some other obvious indicator) every three hours (or slightly before) to review and sign off on the MALA (allowing for changes if any have happened)
We could probably have the app either just require the name and license number for a "signature" (like is currently done when modifying flights of past days) or also add in a "signature" field for users to draw their signature with their finger. As for what method makes the most sense for actually transmitting the information I think probably the easiest to implement right now (before we have a web application like interface) would be an automated email / text to the designated contact address for the RCA Ops O with a confirmation step on the iPad (by the signing officer) that the MALA was authorized if it required it. |
Just an idea, but I wonder if there would be some merit in creating a separate MALA app or website? There isn't much information that the MALA requires from the timesheets app database, so there isn't a huge synergy there. The timesheets app itself is already pretty big and complicated and risks getting cluttered. The MALA app could create its own three hour notifications and have its own syncing features. One could later add modules to it for handling other checklist type tasks such as aircraft daily inspections. |
@kirvanp that could work, my main concern would be in making it easy for the CFS staff to do though. If it's in a separate app it's easier to overlook / more of a pain to do on a regular basis. It could be easily added to the PTR application though (could be a good fit since tracking qualifications like being a DFAO would be the responsibility of the PTR application anyways) |
AirForce has a requirement that all glider and tow plane launches have Mission Acceptance and Launch Authorization.
Currently done on paper.
As a Pilot and Supervisor
we want to accept and authorize a launch
So that
... meet AirForce requirements (what are those req exactly?).... in case of an incident or accident
Q. What would make acceptance and authorization valid for the app stand point?
Q. What verification would need to be sent to AirForce if requested?
