Second High-level Safety Conference HLSC Declaration and Recommendations – Montreal Declaration on Planning for Aviation Safety Improvement – Conclusions and Recommendations 7 December
Some of the HLSC 2015 Outcomes Enhancing State Safety Programmes (SSP) provisions – Enhancements to State safety programme (SSP) provisions should support States’ efforts to meet the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) objectives, incorporating the integration of the eight critical elements of a safety oversight system with the SSP framework in a way that allows States to gain the maturity needed at each step to achieve sustainable improved performance. ICAO, in considering the integration of the eight critical elements of a State safety oversight system and the eleven elements of the State safety programme (SSP) framework, should ensure that the eight critical elements remain visible and that their role as the foundation of the SSP is emphasized 7 December 20154
Some of the HLSC 2015 Outcomes Implementing State Safety Programmes (SSP) – The implementation of the State safety oversight system and State safety programme (SSP) should be monitored to determine the progress attained towards the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) objectives States should use the ICAO State safety programme (SSP) gap analysis tool and Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) self-assessment to facilitate the monitoring and implementation of SSP – Safety performance indicators (SPIs) are needed to enable States to monitor and measure performance ICAO should improve and harmonize the defined safety performance indicators (SPIs) taking into account those currently in use – Additional guidance and sharing of experiences are necessary for States to further develop and implement SSPs ICAO should develop guidance and mechanisms for sharing best practices to support SSP implementation. 7 December 20155
Some of the HLSC 2015 Outcomes Protection of safety data and safety information – Expeditious progress in ICAO’s work to adopt new and enhanced provisions on the protection of certain accident and incident records and information collected for the purpose of maintaining or improving safety in addition to assistance to States in implementing these new protective frameworks is critical for the improvement of aviation safety That ICAO ensure meaningful and expeditious progress towards the adoption of new and enhanced provisions on the protection of certain accident and incident records, other information collected for the purposes of maintaining or improving safety and its related sources, … That ICAO support States in implementing new and enhanced provisions through a strategy comprised of supporting guidance material, tools and seminars tailored to the needs of each region… That States undertake the necessary legal adjustments to efficiently implement new and enhanced protective frameworks 7 December 20156

Action The meeting is invited to encourage States to take appropriate measures, based on their USOAP EI score, to progress the implementation of SSP by: performing an SSP gap analysis; developing an SSP implementation plan; prioritizing and actively progressing the resolution of their USOAP deficiencies; and after achieving an EI score of 60 per cent, performing a more detailed SSP self-assessment. 7 December
