Airspace Risk Model (111-01)
Commencing in the early nineties and continuing for several years, R2A assisted AirServices with the development of an airspace risk model (ARM). This was both for enroute and around various aerodromes. In particular, an Airspace Risk Model of five (5) Mandatory Broadcast Zone (MBZ) airfields was completed, various Melbourne airport studies for simultaneous runway operations (SIMOPS) and Sydney airport Terminal Area Risk Management tool (TARM) and modelling of twelve (12) Class C/D (non-radar) aerodromes including Alice Springs, Hobart and Launceston.

Avalon and Williamtown Risk Reviews (207-03)
The aerdrome risk methodology developed for New Zealand was adapted for the Office of Airspace Regulation and applied to Avalon and Williamtown.

Client Protection Program Risk Assessment
AeroStructures is an engineering consultancy firm specialising in aircraft structural integrity. The Company analyses and assesses aircraft and helicopter structures and usage with emphasis on fleet support and prolonging service life. Major clients with Australia include: Royal Australian Air Force, Australian Army Aviation and Royal Australian Navy. The objective was to conduct an analysis that could be submitted to Defense clients for constructive review and comment. It was designed to provide a completeness check of key AeroStructure risk issues, consistent with methodologies used by Defence to achieve the same outcomes.

Comparison of Midair Collision Risk Models
A survey of Midair Collision Risk Models was completed to determined whether general aviation (GA) airports around the globe make use of collision risk models to establish operational procedures.

Development and Proposed Standards and Practices for the Management of Aerodrome Airspace Risk (187-02)
R2A in association with Ambidji Aviation Services completed the review. Ambidji (the prime contractor) undertook the aeronautical study context and R2A the risk philosophy and modelling aspects.

NAS Risk & Benefit Assessment (111-13)
An independent review of the NAS Risk & Benefit assessment was completed as a review of NAS Class E and Class C.

Palmerston North Risk Review (407-01)
The aeronautical study methodology developed for the CAA was applied at Palmerston North. R2A were part of the review team and provided specialist technical risk advice. The method is based on a generative hierarchical process commencing with the airspace users and stakeholders. The result was a due diligence argument focussed on criticality and precautions rather than hazard and risk. That is, the airspace users agree that all reasonable practical precautions are in place for all credible critical threats. The fact that a collision potential is rare is only an issue in so far as it affects the reasonableness (common law balance) of the proposed precautions to deal with it.

Risk Training (111-04)
A number of 2 day in-house risk training courses have been completed for AirServices Australia based around the R2A Text and on the two day public course presented for Engineering Education Australia.
