WALK-AROUND CREW CHECK:
Consider having the pilot (or a member of the crew) place a brightly colored post-it note piece somewhere on the aircraft without telling the other crew members. See if anyone notices this post-it note piece on their walk-around and then have a debriefing conversation when it is found (or not). This is a great way to make walk-around inspections more interactive without actually leaving something open or unlatched on the aircraft. Discuss at your program if this is something that can be done randomly as a crew member or pilot as an effective (and easy) way to ensure that no one is becoming complacent on their walk around inspections.

The "ECHO Safety Brief" is a quick take on a contemporary safety topic directly from our multidisciplinary safety team to you.
Share it electronically or print and post at your base, whether casual discussion or use as a safety briefing prompt with your crew, the goal is to get crews thinking critically together before we ever climb in the aircraft.
Let us know what you think, and request future topics your crew would find relevant! Send feedback to safety@echoflightcrew.org
