The Global Aviation Safety Roadmap and the Global Aviation Safety Plan

The Global Aviation Safety Roadmap and the Global Aviation Safety Plan

The Regional Perspective In the 21 st century a safe flight should be a basic right of citizens everywhere Accident rates are unacceptable, but historical We have the ability to change this Rapid positive change depends on: Industry and government working together Focusing joint energy on the most significant problems. Workshops help participants focus on the right things to do and determine what to do about them.

Workshop Objectives 1. Develop a thorough understanding of the Global Aviation Safety Plan and its analytic process based upon the Roadmap 2. Understand how to use the process to support development of safety action plans for your region 3. Help the ISSG and ICAO understand how the GASR/GASP can be improved

COSCAP s in Asia and Global Aviation Safety Roadmap

CAST and GASR CAST supports the Global Aviation Safety Roadmap (GASR) as an international strategic plan to promote aviation safety programs, which is complementary to the implementation of appropriate tactical solutions contained in the CAST Safety Plan

COSCAP History COSCAP-South East Asia has been working on safety issues for the last seven years. Asian Regional Aviation Safety Teams (SA-, NA-, and SEA-RAST): review safety recommendations, develop interventions, track implementation. Focused primarily on improving safety by reducing accident risk.

Global Aviation Safety Roadmap (GASR) Proactive approach to aviation safety Help coordinate and guide safety policies 12 Focus Areas established 4 Focused on States (government) 1 Joint regional responsibilities 8 Focused on industry (operators) The Focus Areas are high level Accident risk reduction not defined or identified Best Practices identified for each Focus Area

12 Global Safety Initiatives The strategic action plan, Implementation the Global Aviation Safety Roadmap defines: Focus Areas. Objective of each Focus Area. Best Practices for each Focus Area. Metrics for each Best Practices.

Metrics In many instances the metrics link with: ICAO USOAP audit results used when related to States. IATA ISOA audit results used when related to industry. ICAO Annexes, SARPS, Documents, etc. Prior Roadmap Workshops have developed an implementation tool.

Example from Focus Area 1, International Standards Best Practices, Metrics and Implementation Table 1a Best Practices Metrics Implementation BP 1a-2 States takes all necessary action to ensure compliance with SARPs and industry best practice. a. The State enacts enabling legislation which facilitates the creation and modification of a regulatory scheme giving SARPs the force of law. a. USOAP LEG 1.001; LEG 1.005; LEG 1.009; ORG 2.009 Complete Somewhat b. State processes include an evaluation of their own compliance with SARPs. c. State implements USOAP recommendations. b. c. USOAP OPS 4.003; 4.005; AGA 8.003 ICAO Doc. 9735, Chapter 6 Little/None Not Applicable d. State secures necessary financial, human and technical resources to develop, update and implement regulations meant to enforce SARPS and to implement industry best practices. Resources are drawn as necessary from national, regional and international sources. e. ICAO assistance activities are aligned with the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) and the Global Aviation Safety Roadmap. f. State publishes notice of non compliance to all affected entities and notifies ICAO in accordance with Article 38 of the Convention until such time as the SARP is complied with. d. e. f. USOAP ORG 2.051; ORG 2.053 Percentage of assistance activities that can be linked to best practices or focus area - Results of assistance activities are assessed against metrics and other available benchmarks Difference are notified to ICAO Significant differences are listed in the State s AIP USOAP LEG 1.025 Analysis:

Example from Focus Area 9, Inconsistent Adoption of Industry Best Practices Best Practices, Metrics and Implementation Table 9a Best Practices Metrics Implementation BP 9a-1 The organization creates and maintains an organizational structure that facilitates adoption of industry Best Practice within the organization. Complete Somewhat a. The organization designates a specific individual within the organization or within each operating unit with responsibility for researching and disseminating existing best practice for that unit s activities. That individual is able to recommend specific points for adoption and has follow up responsibilities to ensure implementation of safely critical items. a. IOSA ORG 1.3.3; 1.4.2; 1.7.7; 2.2.3 Little/None Not Applicable Analysis: b. The organization adopts Just Culture principles to ensure that implementation of best practices are appropriate to the individual organization. These principles encourage an open dialog across all levels of the management structure to optimize information flow both u and down the chain. b. IOSA ORG 1.2.3; 1.5.1; 2,1,1; 3,2,6 c. The organization vests in line managers the ability to take action to implement safety best practices. c. IOSA ORG 3.2.4; 3.1.1 d. Best Practice is independent of any cultural issues. Where cultural issues are presented, steps are taken to resolve them consistent with international best practice. d. IOSA ORG 1.1.1; 1.5.1

Example from Focus Area 5, Inconsistent Coordination of Regional Programs Best Practices, Metrics and Implementation Table 5b Best Practices Metrics Implementation BP 5b-1 Regional safety groups use qualitative and quantitative risk assessment techniques to determine levels of risk. a. Risk assessments and development and prioritization of safety enhancements to address those risks developed by national and regional groups such as CAST, ESSI, and COSCAPs North Asia (NA), South Asia (SA), and Southeast Asia (SEA) are shared worldwide. a. Risk assessment techniques are adopted by regional safety groups worldwide. Complete Somewhat Little/None Not Applicable Analysis:

Benefits of an Evaluation Help maintain perspective between: Current Safety Team activity, USOAP audit results and actions, IOSA audit results and actions, and GASR Focus Areas Help to focus on priorities reducing risk Identify and avoid duplication Ongoing activity and efforts Teams

Possible Duplication USOAP Programme, DP3 SEARAST recommendations, actions and implementation, DP5 Safety Management Systems (SMS), DP6 Incident and Accident Investigation Creation of an additional safety team
