Why is it effective? • Subjectivity reduced • Global solution • Hotspots quickly detected • Risk factors assessed • Accurate mitigation actions defined Landing Technique – FODA Analysis Flight Safety Department Lufthansa January 2012 12.06.2006 FRA CF FODA Nur für den internen Dienstgebrauch/Informationen für Besatzungsmitglieder des Seite 20 LandingVervielfältigung, Technique Lufthansa-Konzerns.
