So having heard several good inputs and hoping to make it actionable, this is what I'd like to propose:
Let's create a data collection form and see how it goes and what comes in. Here is a list of fields I'd propose, please share your thoughts.
Name (free text)
Email (free text) Subscribe to Safety Email Updates (checkbox, default unchecked)
Phone (free text)
Would you like for this report to be de-identified? (check box "please de-identify" default unchecked)
Should this report not be shared with other builders? (check box "please do not share" default unchecked)
To which Bearhawk types should your concern apply? (checkboxes for each plus an option to select all, default unchecked)
Would you categorize the airplane as mostly built from a kit? (Drop down "mostly built from a kit", "mostly scratch built", "N/A")
How would you classify the urgency of your concern (drop-down selection between "nice to know", "needs prompt attention", and "extremely urgent")
What happened (free text big box)
Suggestions for Mitigation (free text big box)
In addition to the fields, I'd propose the following introductory language:
This form is available to operators of aircraft designed by Bob Barrows as a mutual information sharing opportunity. If you have encountered a risk or threat while operating a Bearhawk type of airplane, this is a great way to help share your experience with others. Operators are encouraged to reach out to Bob Barrows with any matters related to the airplanes, in addition to reporting here. For matters relating to kit production, please also reach out to Mark at Bearhawk Aircraft. Please do not share identifying details about others who may not be willing to share, and please don't share incriminating evidence about regulatory violations unless you have also participated in a program like the ASRS (in the USA) or equivalent.
The next steps will depend on what we get in the submissions.
That's just a first proposal, let me know what you think please!
