Global Aviation Safety - The Issues
The global civil aviation market is predicted to continue experiencing enormous pressures to increase air traffic capacity and movements. This trend is against the backdrop for higher asset utilization, larger fleets, continuous cost overhead reductions, falling unit ticket revenues and ever demanding customer service improvements. All of these drivers apply pressure points on Aviation Safety Management.
Regulatory Development
The civil aviation market has responded to these challenges with ever increasing regulation and compliance guidance materials initiating significant change around the world.
Notably, in the Americas, Transport Canada, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and others are working with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) through Bi-lateral Aviation Safety Agreements (BASA’s) and related Special Conditions to harmonize standards and promote global best practice in aviation safety.
EASA Part145 Human Factors and Error Management programs are a material element of the Regulation and ICAO have mandated that Safety Management Systems (SMS) will be required (through the appropriate National Aviation Authorities) by January 2009 for all Operators and Maintenance and Continuing Airworthiness Organizations.
