IE REST/01 outcomes Held in Moscow, Russian Federation, from 10 to 11 June 2013.; attended by 51 participants, from 17 States and 6 International/Regional Organizations (including EASA) Four ad hoc groups created: The IE REST Pilot Training Group (IE PTG), to address issues related to pilot training; The IE REST Runway Safety Group (IE RSG), to address issues related to runway safety, including the support to the establishment and operation of Local Runway Safety Teams (LRSTs); The IE REST Flight Data Analysis and Air Operator Safety Management System Group (IE FDG), to address issues related to Flight Data Analysis and air operators Safety Management Systems (SMS); and The IE REST Taxonomy and Safety Data Analysis Group (IE TSG), to address issues related to safety data taxonomy and analysis.
IE REST/02 outcomes Held in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, from 25 to 27 September 2013. Attended by 37 participants from 11 States and 5 International/Regional Organizations Terms of reference adopted for the 4 ad hoc groups SEIs being developed in to address pilot training; runway safety; flight data analysis and air operator SMS; and taxonomy and safety data analysis. SEIs will be submitted for approval by RASG EUR/03 (through the RASG EUR Coordination Group RCOG)
SEI focus SEIs related to pilot training: focus on implementation of MPL + EBT SEIs related to runway safety: focus on improving air operators SOPs + supporting LRST implementation SEIs related to FDA: focus on implementation of FDA programme + national FDA forums SEIs related to taxonomy and safety data analysis: focus on implementation of ADREP/ECCAIRS compatible taxonomy + enhancing safety occurrence reporting systems
Links with other safety teams The IE REST uses outputs from various safety teams/groups, including CAST, ECAST and non European RASGs The RASG EUR/02 agreed to promote the use of the ECAST and EASp deliverables, in particular through their review and use as applicable by the IE REST, and to strengthen cooperation with the ECAST and the Network of Analysts (NoA) through exchange of information and, optionally, participation in meetings as observers
