Aviation Expectations?

• Aviation is one of the most regulated industries.

• General Public assume they will be transported safely− safety is a given, isn’t it?

• Narrow margin between an incident turning into an accident

• Extensive media interest follows an accident− ghoulishness or persecution?


Lessons Learned

There is no doubt that the:

− We try to learn the lessons from serious incidents and accidents

− We continue to develop new technologies, complex system architectures, assurance systems and the associated requirements in response

However:

− Can we continue to rely on what is a reactive system?


State Safety Programme Scope


The Current Systems

Basic Principles

− “Chicago Convention” and Annexes give a global system of standards and mutual recognition across Member States

− Member States define National Regulations and methods and National Airworthiness Authorities establish compliance with these


Looking Forward

Challenges

− Economic Situation vs. Forecast growth

− Greater use of global partners and/or support organisations

− Resource availability and competence

− Effective compliance oversight and maintaining or improving safety


Safety Management Systems (SMS)

Concept

− Formal System that allows to

− Understand hazards and threats to business

− Determine the risk these could have

− Identify how can be mitigated

− Measure effectiveness in managing risk

− Looks wider than basic organisation – needs to account for total system – suppliers and customers


Performance Based Oversight

− PBO enables us to

− recognise the SMS as a means to be satisfied about basic compliance

− use all of the data we have about an organisation (AOC, Part-M, Part-145, DOA, POA etc)

− consider the total system risk picture for the organisation

− focus oversight activity on those areas that are considered to be of highest risk


Summary

ICAO framework supports a global industry

with complex relationships and potentially

different considerations of risk

CAA recognises that the interfaces between

the different elements of the total system are

key to effective risk management

SMS and PBO can support this and provide

proportional oversight based on severity of risk
