Air Safety and Cabin Air Quality in the BAe 146 Aircraft(71)

In my experience and discussing the issues with industry personnel and former colleagues I am unable to reconcile the situation and am unable to differentiate between the two. Surely even a momentary incapacitation of the pilot in command is a safety issue. The certification standards for the aircraft require clean air into the cockpit and cabin therefore contamination of air flowing to these areas with oil mist must be a Certification Issue as well as a safety issue.93

4.90 Mr Best was directly involved in assessing the BAe 146 for a certificate of airworthiness for a BAe 146 300 series aircraft operated by East West Airlines in approximately 1990. On 13 October 1998 Mr Best, submitted a Risk Observation Report dealing with the BAe 146 aircraft through CASA’s South Australian District Office. The report was passed onto Mr David Villiers, Acting General Manager Airworthiness via e-mail. According to CASA: “Mr Villiers was responsible for the aircraft certification and airworthiness policy of the aircraft, and was the CASA Officer primarily responsible for actioning Mr Best's Report.” 94
4.91 In evidence to the inquiry on 17 August 2000 Mr Best stated:
… I became aware of problems with clean air in the BAe 146 because of consultation with two ladies who had been adversely affected by the air quality in the 146. As a consequence of that, I made a submission internally within CASA to bring it to the appropriate attention of the people that should know about it.95 …
4.92 Mr Best went on later in his evidence to comment:
… All I am saying to you is that I was asked about it by two ladies and I became aware that all these people were affected. I thought it was appropriate that someone, an independent arbiter, look at the situation. 96
4.93 The following is an extract from Mr Best’s Risk Observation Report:
There is an apparent problem with the quality of air in the BAe 146 aircraft cabin
The report indicates there has been a smell like vomit in the cabin going back as far as 1992
It is believed NJS raised a memo advising cabin crew as to how to handle customer complaints
It is also believed air contamination has adversely effected cockpit and cabin crew- a fact apparently disputed by both the operator and the aircraft manufacturer
.  
surveys conducted apparently do not identify the root problem in distinguishing the contamination components arising from bleed air from the APU into the cabin

.  
Mac Robertson of C.O. and Clive Phillips of BASI are aware of the problem but apparently have not been able to have a high priority assigned to this situation
