Strategy, Programme and Plan 2011-2014 ICAO promotes the principles of Safety Management (SMS/SSP) Systems like EU require an Aviation Safety Global approach: Since responsibilities are shared MS and EASA need to work together to enact an SSP There is a need for a Strategy, a Program and a Plan
Strategy, Programme and Plan 2011-2014 Strategy The European Safety Strategy is a set of policies and objectives which are laid down by the European Commission Programme Plan The European Aviation Safety Programme is an integrated set of regulations and activities aimed at improving safety The European Aviation Safety Plan is a high level safety issues assessment and related action plan The Plan is a key element of the EASP

Assessment Criteria 1. State Dimension: How capable is the State in proactively managing the aggregated risk of all its certified operators? How much credible data is available to us from that State? 2. Operator Dimension: Do we have data that provide confidence that an operator is capable to operate in compliance with international standards? What is the risk exposure to EU citizens by the intended scope of operations? 13
Assessment methodologies TCO Assessment elements (e.g., FDA) TCO Assessment scope Desktop Review Consultation Telephone/video conference, or meeting On-site visit 14
Expected workload over 24 months Population split / 850 Operators 85 Next workshop in Singapore in November 2011 255 510 C Visit B Consultation A Desktop Review 15

ECAST SMS: Best practice material http://www.easa.europa.eu/essi/ecast_sms.htm 3. What safety event could release the hazard? Barrier 1. What is the hazard? Hazard 6. How do we recover if the event occurs? How can the potential outcome likelihood or consequence severity of the outcome be limited? Safety Event 1 Potential Outcome Safety Event 2 Undesirable Event Potential Outcome Safety Event 3 Mitigation Potential Outcome 5. How do we avoid the undesirable event? How do we keep control on the hazard? 2. What happens when hazard control is lost? 4. How can the accident scenario develop? What are the potential outcomes?
