By the time of the 28 October 2009 occurrence, many of the operator’s A330 flight crew had not received unreliable airspeed training. Such training started being introduced in the operator’s recurrent training program before the occurrence.
Training has been introduced to address the specific problem.
The operator included an introduction to unreliable airspeed situations in its A330 recurrent (cyclic) training session for the period October 2009 to March 2010. Further training is being included in the following cyclic session (April to September 2010).
The ATSB is satisfied that that the action by the Australian operators adequately addresses this safety issue.
The associated Australian A330 operator (Qantas) advised that its A330 cyclic training session from 19 June 2009 to January 2010 included discussion items and a simulator exercise applying the unreliable airspeed / ADR check procedure.
The ATSB is satisfied that that the action by the Australian operators adequately addresses this safety issue.
