Current Global Aviation Safety Plan

A high-level policy document guiding efforts of the States, industry and international organizations Update scheduled for 2011 that will introduce safety management principles to create a strategic approach to implementation of global safety initiatives (GSI) Accomplished in parallel and in harmony with the update of the Global Aviation Safety Roadmap (GASR)

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

Overview of Updated GASP

Objective

Strategic coordination of global safety activities Guide the prioritization and allocation of aviation safety resources Measureable achievement of global safety targets

GASP

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

Strategic Approach
Goal

Reduce the risk of loss of human life through continuously enhancing aviation safety Safety targets will be defined according to risk criteria Continually measured for significant change Linked to global safety targets Specific metrics will monitor GSI effectiveness
3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

Safety Targets

Goal Safety Targets Global Safety Initiatives

Global Safety Initiatives

Proposed Safety Targets

General Target

Reduce the number of fatalities AND the global fatal accident rate resulting from aviation accidents worldwide irrespective of the volume of traffic

Supporting Safety Targets (risk-based)

Significantly reduce the rate of high-risk accidents and serious incidents including: Runway related events Loss of control in-flight Controlled flight into terrain
3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

Global Safety Initiatives (GSI)

Developed to enhance safety globally, by addressing safety issues specific to States GSI focus will follow a progressive implementation model building safety management practices on sound fundamental safety oversight systems GSI metrics will monitor progress, providing timely information regarding the global state of safety Information sharing is essential to the implementation and measurement of many GSIs
3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

Proposed Global Safety Initiatives

GSI 1 - Implementation of International Standards and Recommended Practices GSI 2 - Establishment and Management of a Regulatory Oversight System GSI 3 - Maintaining Sufficient Number of Qualified Personnel GSI 4 - Establishment and Management of Accident and Incident Investigation Capabilities GSI 5 - Establishment and Management of a Safety Reporting System GSI 6 - Alignment and Coordination of Regional Programmes GSI 7 - Implementation of State Safety Programme (SSP) GSI 8 - Use of Technology to Enhance Safety GSI 9 - Continuous Monitoring and Improvement of States Aviation Safety System

ICAO High-level Safety Conference 2010 RECOMMENDATION 2/5

ICAO should develop, in close collaboration with States, international and national organizations, a new Annex dedicated to safety management responsibilities and processes which would address the safety management responsibilities of States framed under the State Safety Programme (SSP) The new Safety Management Annex should facilitate the provision of State and air carrier safety information to the travelling public, in addition to specifying the high level safety responsibilities of States

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

Related Council Decision Two phased development process:

19

Safety Management

Initial phase focused on the reorganization of existing SARPs and supporting guidance material. Concurrently, an in-depth review of SARPs will be initiated to assess whether they need to be amended or expanded.

The Benefits of Information Sharing

Aggregation The combination of multiple like data sources
Enhances data quality & increases sample sizes to identify emerging safety issues Enables comparative benchmarking analyses to determine best practices

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

The Benefits of Information Sharing

Integration The combination of multiple disparate types of data
Provides comprehensive perspective to identify systemic hazards Essential to mitigate complex safety issues

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

The Benefits of Information Sharing

Efficiency
Information sharing can reduce or eliminate duplication of effort Proven synergies related to safety audit practices Operational savings realized through proactive use of shared information

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

An Important Distinction
Data or information?
Data consists of facts
May be sensitive or create liability

Information is the result of data analysis

May be more easily exchanged with external entities

Common taxonomies and interoperable data management systems are essential

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

But, there are costs

Issue:
Information sharing requires investment of time & resources

Expected outcome:
ICAO is working with Member States & industry partners to facilitate exchange of safety information

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

as well as risks
Issue:
Shared information has potential to create liability, or compromise organizational interests

Expected outcome:
ICAO multidisciplinary Task Force will enhance protective standards & recommended practices

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

The Global Safety Information Exchange (GSIE)

Sharing aviation safety information among key players in the civil aviation community:
Initial partners are ICAO, IATA, the FAA and the EU. A steering group involving all participants has been established. First meetings have looked at information to be shared and how to harmonize shared data (ex: accident rates) and at safety outreach activities.

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

ICAO Continuous Monitoring Approach (CMA) Online Framework

The applications within the online framework will facilitate the administration and management of:
State Aviation Activity Questionnaires ( SAAQs) Compliance Checklists (CCs) Protocol Questions (PQs) Mandatory Information Requests (MIRs) Finding and Recommendations (F&Rs) Significant Safety Concerns (SSCs) and Corrective Action Plans (CAPs)

This enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of the USOAP CMA in identifying deficiencies and associated safety risks.

3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

GRSS Outcomes
One size does not fit all
Solutions need to account for local conditions yet be standardized and harmonized to ensure interoperability Runway incursions and excursions are the main issues but other aspects such as Bird Strike, FOD should not be overlooked

Collaborating at multiple levels

International organizations have committed to work together to compile and promote proven solutions and endorse best practices Runway Safety Teams should be established locally and hosted by the airports
3rd Global Aviation Safety Conference, Acapulco 19-20 Sept 2011

GRSS Outcomes
Improve Standardization / Harmonization
Develop guidance to define and launch Runway Safety Teams Harmonize Runway Safety definitions, taxonomies and reporting of runway conditions and other safety indicators Standardize and improve communication procedures ICAO to ensure that Standards and Guidance material are fit for purpose Implementation of ICAO Standards monitored through the Continuous Monitoring Approach
