Terminal Analysis and Review Program (TARP) Cautions
There have been some significant changes made concerning how air traffic control (ATC) reports and processes pilot deviations (PD). In the past, if a controller observed or was alerted to a clearance deviation, he or she had some latitude in the decision about whether or not to file a PD. Generally speaking, if there was no loss of separation, controllers often chose to send our crews on with a reassuring "no problem" and did not report the deviation.
In January 2012, this level of discretion was curtailed in DFW with the introduction of the Terminal Analysis and Review Program (TARP), an automatic system that monitors pre-established separation parameters and generates alerts when an aircraft approaches the limits of these parameters. Each TARP alert creates an Electronic Occurrence Report (EOR) that is forwarded to an ATO Service Area Safety Office for review. Committees at these safety offices review each EOR and decide if a PD will be filed. Due to the automation involved, deviations can result without the local ATC’s knowledge. Since TARP began, there have been at least three PDs filed without our crews having received any indication from ATC.
At the same time TARP was deployed, a PD reporting program for ATC was rolled out by the Federal Aviation Administration. The new program reflects the FAA’s recent emphasis on the use of voluntary disclosure programs (such as the Aviation Safety Action Program) to enhance safety. Controllers are now required to report any safety of flight occurrence they observe through the use of Mandatory Occurrence Reports (MOR). Much like EORs, MORs are forwarded to the Service Area Safety Offices for review.
If a controller believes that a deviation did not jeopardize the safety of a flight, they have another option that satisfies the FAA’s reporting requirements. Instead of filing an MOR, the controller can submit an Air Traffic Safety Action Program (ATSAP) report. ATSAP is a voluntary disclosure program for controllers that is governed by the same immunity and confidentiality provisions of our ASAP memorandum of understanding. The American Airlines ASAP program recently signed an information-sharing agreement with ATSAP, and through a secure portal we now have access to ATSAP reports that involve AA aircraft in any way. In some cases, these reports have alerted APA and, in turn, our crews of potential pilot deviations.
We work closely with ATC and share the common goal of getting our passengers to their destinations safely. In light of these recent changes, however, we strongly encourage all pilots to file ASAP reports whenever anything that could possibly be categorized as a violation occurs, no matter what your controller may say to the contrary.
