Risk Assessment Framework
Risk Matrix
Probability Levels:
- Frequent (5): Likely to occur several times
- Probable (4): Likely to occur several times
- Occasional (3): May occur several times
- Remote (2): Unlikely to occur
- Improbable (1): Extremely unlikely to occur
Severity Levels:
- Catastrophic (5): Multiple fatalities, aircraft loss
- Hazardous (4): Serious injury, major damage
- Major (3): Minor injury, minor damage
- Minor (2): Minimal injury, minimal damage
- Negligible (1): No injury, no damage
Risk Categories
- Operational Risks - Flight operations and procedures
- Technical Risks - Aircraft systems and maintenance
- Human Factors - Crew performance and training
- Environmental Risks - Weather and external factors
- Organizational Risks - Management and culture
