Start a bow-tie from an SMS domain, not a blank register.
Eight domains as starting points. Metis drafts against your operation. You remain the chair.
Eight SMS domainsNothing saved until you askYou remain the chair
Flight operations
Starting points in this domain include runway excursion, unstable approach, GNSS interference, wildlife, fuel, operating minima, and night or ETOPS work. They open a bow-tie you adapt to the route and aerodrome you actually fly, rather than a register to copy.
Start from GNSS interference on approachunstable approach in convective weatherwildlife hazard on a coastal aerodrome
Human factors
Human-factors starting points include fatigue, handover, procedural drift, and production pressure. Those themes become a bow-tie in the workbench, against a named shift or desk, not a catalogue of people-risks to paste in.
Start from fatigue on a night line shiftinadequate handover between CAMO and the lineproduction pressure during a same-day release
Airworthiness and technical
Airworthiness and technical themes include continuing airworthiness, incorrect maintenance, tooling, and configuration. Use them as a way into a bow-tie for the aircraft and the arrangement you actually hold, not as a parts list of defects.
Start from aircraft released with incomplete maintenancepitot-static contaminationcontracted AMP not followed at a line station
Ground operations
Ground-operations themes include FOD, towing, GSE, turnaround, and de-icing. They are ramp starting points for a bow-tie you adapt to the stand and the night you actually run.
Start from aircraft towing in a congested hangarFOD on a stand during a night turnaroundGSE collision on a crowded apron
Conflict zones and security
Conflict-zone and security themes include overflight, NOTAMs, and the security of aircraft and documents. The cluster is a map of where to start when the route or the station changes, not a list of named events.
Start from a new overflight of a conflict-adjacent FIRa security change to aircraft access at a contracted station
Economic
Economic themes include commercial pressure against airworthiness, spare-part shortages, and contracted gaps. The bow-tie belongs in the workbench, against the actual commercial constraint, not as a finance-risk roster.
Start from spare-part shortage driving a deferred defectcommercial pressure to dispatch with an open MEL item
Environmental and natural
Environmental and natural themes include weather, volcanic ash, wildlife, and contaminated surfaces. They are climate and terrain starting points for a bow-tie, not a weather-event catalogue.
Start from winter contaminated-runway operationvolcanic-ash encounter on a planned route
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity themes include GNSS jamming and spoofing, Part-IS duties, and the integrity of EFB and ground systems. Draft the assessment in the workbench against the system that actually failed.

From a domain to a draft you still own.
The library is a map of where to begin. The assessment runs in the workbench.

“We are opening a new route. I want a risk assessment covering flight operations, security, maintenance and ground-ops risks, based on our current procedures — consult the OMA, CAME Part-3, OMC and Ground Ops Manual section X.”
