He has also published a number of

3 The relative frequencies of different
types of neglected activity reported
probably do not reflect the relative
frequencies actually occurring in line
operations. Pilots may be more likely to
report incidents observable to ATC, for
example, altitude deviations, than to
report incidents not observable outside
the cockpit, for example, omitting a
checklist item.

A History of Ups and Downs
Throughout 21 years of operation by
the Aviation Safety Reporting System
(ASRS), approximately 35 percent of
all incidents reported to the ASRS have
been altitude deviations. Previous
ASRS reviews of altitude errors have
identified multiple contributing factors
for these events. A 1982 ASRS
study, Probability Distributions of Altitude
Deviations, found that altitude deviations
reported to ASRS were
exponentially distributed with a mean
of 1,080 feet, and that deviations from
ATC-assigned altitudes were equally
likely to occur above or below the assigned
altitude.1 Another ASRS review
of altitude deviation problems, One
Zero Ways to Bust an Altitude,2 looked
at the percentage of altitude deviations
by altitude pairing, (i.e., confusing
one altitude for another) and
found that 35% of all paired deviations
occur at 10,000 and 11,000.
More recently, ASRS analysts have
noted that approximately 15 to 20
percent of the altitude deviations reported
to ASRS involve crossing restriction
errors on Standard
Instrument Departures (SIDs) and
Standard Terminal Arrival Routes
(STARs). SIDs and STARs are published
instrument routings whose primary
purpose is to simplify ATC’s clearance
delivery procedures.
Altitude crossing restrictions associated
with SIDs and STARs may be published
on navigation charts or
assigned by ATC. Crossing restrictions
exist for two primary purposes: 1) to
provide vertical separation from traffic
on different routings that cross the
same fix, and 2) to contain traffic vertically
within a given ATC controller’s
sector in cases where other sectors
within the same facility, or sectors in
another facility, are layered above and
below. ATC-assigned crossing restrictions
(as opposed to published crossing
altitudes) may be temporary requirements
imposed to meet
changing operational conditions, including
facilitating traffic hand-offs to
another sector. Pilot compliance with
SID and STAR altitude assignments is
important, for if a controller permits
traffic penetration of another sector
either laterally or vertically without
prior coordination and approval from
the controller in that sector, an operational
deviation results.
The FMS was programmed for [a] Runway 8 arrival. [The] flight attendant
came forward. I…started reprogramming the FMS for a Runway 26 arrival
and the new crossing restriction. After I had completed this, I noticed that
the FMS was not in VNAV—we had overflown the descent point. I made every
effort but crossed 6,000 feet high.” (# 298266)

No previous ASRS review of SIDand

this review to determine the
