DESCRIPTION
A strategic overview of the ICAO Safety Framework, which includes an update to the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) planned for completion later in 2011. The revision to the GASP will incorporate safety management principles, including a risk-based approach to the establishment and measurement of key safety objectives. Attainment of GASP objectives is made possible through the implementation of Global Safety Initiatives, which are achieved and measured through the continuous exchange of safety information. In this briefing, Ms. Graham will provide a summary of how ICAO is “walking the talk” of safety management, through the conduct of proactive risk analysis and participation in information sharing initiatives such as the Global Safety Information exchange.

The ICAO Safety Framework
Revision to the Global Aviation Safety Plan
Practicing Safety Management –
“Walking the talk”
Protection of Safety Information – a Key Component of ICAO’s Safety Strategy
Overview
ICAO Safety Framework
Policy & Standardization– GASP Update
Safety Monitoring– Continuous Monitoring Approach
Safety Analysis– Evolving to a risk-based process
Implementation– Annual Safety Report
A More Strategic Approach
3
A high-level policy document guiding efforts of the States, industry and international organizations
Update scheduled for 2011 will introduce safety management principles to create a strategic approach to implementation of global safety initiatives
Accomplished in parallel and in harmony with the Global Aviation Safety Roadmap (GASR)
4
Current Global Aviation Safety Plan
Objective– Strategic coordination of global
safety activities– Guide the prioritization and
allocation of aviation safety resources
– Measureable achievement of global safety goals
5
GASP
Overview of Updated GASP
Goal– Reduce the risk to human life
Safety Targets– Safety targets will be defined
according to risk criteria – Continually measured for significant
change
Global Safety Initiatives– Linked to global safety targets– Specific metrics will monitor GSI
effectiveness– Safety information sharing essential
to ensure successful implementation6
Goal
Safety Targets
Global Safety Initiatives
Strategic Approach
7
Proposed Safety Targets
General Target– Significantly reduce the global fatal accident rate
Supporting Safety Targets (risk-based)
– Significantly reduce regional LEI disparity
– Significantly reduce the rate of high-risk accidents and serious incidents including:• Runway related events• Loss of control in-flight• Controlled flight into terrain
8
Global Safety Initiatives
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
9
Proposed Global Safety Initiatives
GSI 1 – Consistent implementation of international standardsGSI 2 – Consistent regulatory oversightGSI 3 – Effective incident and accident investigationGSI 4 – Sufficient number of qualified personnelGSI 5 – Effective errors and incidents reportingGSI 6 – Consistent coordination of regional programmesGSI 7 – Full implementation of State Safety Programme (SSP)GSI 8 – Use of technology to enhance safetyGSI 9 – Continuous improvement of States’ aviation safety systems
10
ICAO is “Walking the Talk”
Safety Analysis– Integrated Safety Trend Analysis & Reporting System (iSTARS)
– Analytical support for ICAO safety programmes and worldwide audits
– Leverages the benefits of data provided by multiple stakeholders
11
Creating Comprehensive Solutions The Global Runway Safety Symposium – bringing together
the international community to address our top accident category
Mitigation of runway safety related risks requires the exchange of information among all relevant operational domains
12
The Benefits of Information Sharing
Aggregation – The combination of multiple like data sources– Enhances data quality & increases sample sizes to identify
safety issues
– Enables comparative benchmarking analyses to determine best practices
13
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
14
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
The Benefits of Information Sharing
15
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
An Important Distinction
16
Develop multidisciplinary strategies to resolve complex safety issues
Metrics & analytic methods must be harmonized Protection of safety information – a critical component to
achieve multidisciplinary objectives
A Pragmatic Approach
17
Global Safety Information Exchange
Memorandum of Understanding signed by:
– European Commission
– International Air Transport Association
– International Civil Aviation Organization
– US Department of Transportation Intent is to identify safety information that can be exchanged
to enhance risk reduction activities Participants will develop a mechanism for sharing such
information in an efficient and timely manner Will gradually be expanded to include other stakeholders in
international civil aviation community
18
Issue:– Information sharing requires investment of time &
resources Expected outcome:– ICAO is working with Member States & industry partners to
facilitate exchange of safety information
But, there are Costs…
19
Issues:– Shared information has potential to apportion
blame or liability, or compromise organizational interests
– Managing interactions between safety and judicial authorities
– Conceptualizing an “open reporting culture” worldwide
– Balancing the protection of safety information and the proper administration of justice
The Way Forward:– The ICAO multidisciplinary Safety Information
Protection Task Force will develop protective standards & recommended practices
…as well as Challenges
20
Safety Information ProtectionTask Force
Mandate
– AIG Divisional Meeting 2008
– High-level Safety Conference 2010
– 37th Session of the Assembly
SIP Task Force Mandate– To make recommendations for enhanced ICAO provisions
and guidance materials related to the protection of safety data and safety information
21
Code of Conduct
ICAO will develop a code of conduct on the sharing of safety information which will incorporate:
– Principle of transparency
– Need for safety information to be used in a fair and consistent manner, solely to improve aviation safety and not for inappropriate purposes
Thank you
