Fiji Confidential Aviation Incident Reporting (FCAIR)
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Fiji Islands collects information for the purposes of enhancing aviation safety. The information is collected under the authority of Section 14 of the Civil Aviation Reform Act 1999.
The Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Scheme
In the Fiji Islands reporting of hazardous occurrences is mandatory under the Air Navigation Regulations. This requirement also applies to any ground facilities or services provided for such operations, e.g. Air Traffic Control, airfields, etc, so inevitably a number of occurrence reports involve foreign operated aircraft.
The Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Scheme (MORS) encompasses occurrences relating to any aspect having a direct bearing on flight safety, e.g. flight operations, aircraft airworthiness, air traffic control and associated facilities/equipment, ground operations and associated facilities/equipment.
The term "occurrence" means any fault, problem, or shortcoming of parts or people.
To facilitate consistent reporting and subsequent storage and analysis of data, a standard report form - designed in consultation with industry - is available and ideally should be used.
Form OR 001 is to be used for all types of occurrences.
