	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>As part of the phased reduction of the RAF’s Tornado GR4 fleet, aircraft allocated to disbanded squadrons are assessed against a range of criteria including flying hour life consumed, embodied capabilities and future maintenance requirements. Depending on the result of this assessment, aircraft are reallocated to Front Line squadrons, returned to BAE Systems for maintenance or upgrade, placed in storage for future use or selected for spares recovery. Components and equipment for which no further beneficial use can be identified are disposed of through normal channels.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 28/10/2014 16:43:54 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

Although the TDP was evaluated using a Tornado GR1 test aircraft, the objective was to evaluate the CWS concept across all of the fast jet operational training environment.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 23/06/2014 15:14:13 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne previous answer version 2135 answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what risk rating was placed on a collision involving a Tornado and another aircraft in (a) 1991, (b) 1998 and (c) 2010.
	tabling member constituency	Moray

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2014 answer text <p>The risk rating placed on a collision involving a Tornado for the years 1991 and 1998 is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. For 2010 the risk placed on a collision involving a Tornado classifies the severity of Mid Air Collision as ‘Catastrophic', and the likelihood as ‘Remote'. Nevertheless, we have initiated a programme to fit Tornado aircraft with a collision warning system, which is currently being trialed on two aircraft and a third has been fitted for further development. On current planning, we intend to introduce this capability in stages from later this year.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 16/07/2014 15:30:30 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne previous answer version 8004 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2014 answer text <p>Military Aviation Authority Regulatory Article 1210 defines categories for quantifying the likelihood of a risk as follows:<br><br>“Likelihood is assessed with respect to the likelihood of the assessed consequence of a hazard. This is based on the likelihood of a single accident resulting in harm for a particular fleet. The appropriate category listed below must be used:<br>a. Frequent: Likely to occur at least several times a year. <br>b. Occasional: Likely to occur one or more times per year. <br>c. Remote: Likely to occur one or more times in 10 years. <br>d. Improbable: Unlikely to occur in 10 years.” <br><br>A panel of suitably qualified and experienced persons from the Tornado Force calculated the risk likelihood for the Tornado risk register based on this definition.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 16/07/2014 15:35:20 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne previous answer version 8601 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois

The development of a bespoke fast-jet to fast-jet collision warning system was halted because of a change in the requirement and the technical challenges experienced during the Assessment Phase.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2014 answer text <p>Guidelines for classification within European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Regulations and Business Procedure (BP) 1201 focus on equipment risks based on aircraft Flying Hours and not Risk to Life. As recommended by Haddon-Cave, the risk assessment categories in Military Aviation Authority Regulatory Publications (MRP) are for assessment of the Risk to Life resulting from both equipment and operating risks. This allows Duty Holders to assess Risk to Life per annum and tolerability in line with the approach espoused in the Health and Safety Executive publication Reducing Risks Protecting People.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 15/07/2014 16:58:52 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne previous answer version 10492 answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
