Nimbl, formerly AviationManuals, collected and analyzed aviation operational risks throughout 2024 and yesterday held a webinar to discuss what the company had gleaned from the data. It also released its Common Risks Report, highlighting what it found from roughly 40,000 risk assessment submissions and offering practical mitigation strategies to increase aviation safety.

The report emphasizes the importance of recognizing and mitigating multiple risks that can align and lead to incidents, using James Reason’s Swiss cheese model as a reference. ​Nimbl’s risk-assessment tool offers a way to assess, track, and manage risks, integrating with scheduling and weather data to provide informed decision-making options for flight crews.
