LPRI – SAFETY INDICATOR OF THE STATE SAFETY PROGRAMME (SSP) Leyla Suleymanova ICAO EUR/NAT 24 May 2011 “Language Proficiency: A Safety Issue” Workshop   (St Petersburg, Russian Federation, 24 – 26 May 2011)

Project title (Insert, Header & Footer) Contents Introduction Status of LPRI globally and in ICAO EUR/NAT Region Safety management – SMS and SSP Safety indicator – acceptable levels of safety LPRI – compliance and maintenance as Safety indicator Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

Project title (Insert, Header & Footer) Introduction A37- 10 Implementation of Language proficiency requirements A37-4 Appendix GASP – continued State Safety Programme implementation. 37-10 States to assist each other Those that have not implemented by 5March 2011- continue providing up to date information Flexible approach – condition : progress evidenced in their implementation plans- operations decisions …non-discrimination and not for the purpose of economic advantage Next Assembly – update from the Council 37-4 implementing the State Safety Programme (SSP); b) expeditiously implementing safety management systems across the aviation industry to complement the existing regulatory framework; c) sharing operational safety intelligence among States and relevant aviation stakeholders; Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

Project title (Insert, Header & Footer) A 37-4 Safety Management Reference documents Annex 1 – Personnel licensing Annex 6 – Aircraft operation, Parts I and III Annex 8 – Airworthiness of aircraft Annex 11 – Air Traffic Services Annex 13 – Aircraft accident and incident investigation Annex 14 – Aerodromes – Volume I — Aerodrome Design and Operations ICAO Safety Management Manual SMM (Doc 9859) – 2nd Edition 2008 Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

Concept of Safety – ICAO Doc 9859 Safety is the state in which the possibility of harm to persons or property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or below, an acceptable level through a continuing process of hazard identification and risk management In developing the concept of safety Consider (the weaknesses in the notion of perfection) The elimination of accidents (and serious incidents) is unachievable Failures will occur, in spite of the most accomplished prevention efforts No human activity or human-made system can be guaranteed to be absolutely free from hazard and operational errors Controlled safety risk and controlled error are acceptable in an inherently safe system Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

Risk Management – identifying the risk Three key definitions Hazard – Condition or object with the potential of causing injuries to personnel, damage to equipment or structures, loss of material, or reduction of ability to perform a prescribed function Consequence – Potential outcome(s) of the hazard Safety risk – The assessment, expressed in terms of predicted probability and severity, of the consequence(s) of a hazard taking as reference the worst foreseeable situation Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

Risk management - measuring the risk Probability The likelihood that an unsafe event or condition might occur Severity The possible effects of an unsafe event or condition, taking as reference the worst foreseeable situation Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

ICAO Safety management SARPs - overview Two audience groups States Service providers Three distinct requirements State safety programme (SSP) Acceptable level of safety (ALoS) Safety management System (SMS) Safety performance of the SMS Common denominator – Management accountability Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

Service providers required to implement an SMS Approved training organizations that are exposed to safety risks during the provision of their services Aircraft operators Approved maintenance organizations Organizations responsible for design and/or manufacture of aircraft Air traffic services providers Certified aerodromes

Basic safety management SARPs in summary State Service provider States shall establish a State safety programme (SSP), in order to achieve an acceptable level of safety (ALoS) in civil aviation ALoS to be achieved shall be established by the State States shall require, as part of their SSP, that a [service provider] implement an SMS acceptable to the State that, as a minimum: identifies safety hazards ensures the implementation of remedial action necessary to maintain agreed safety performance provides for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the safety performance aims at a continuous improvement of the overall performance of the safety management system

Project title (Insert, Header & Footer) Clarifying the terms Safety – as defined by Doc 9859 Level of safety – degree of safety of a system, representing the quality of the system, safety-wise, expressed through safety indicators Safety indicators – parameters that characterize and/or typify the level of safety of the system Value of safety indicators – quantification of a safety indicator Safety targets – concrete objectives to be achieved Value of safety targets – quantification of a safety target Acceptable level of safety – minimum degree of safety that must be assured by a system in actual practice Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

Delivering ALoS – Safety action plans Tools and means to deliver the safety targets of an SSP Regulations Training Technology Technology Training Regulations

ALoS – Mature (Safety performance measurement) Values of safety targets [Reduce by/maximum] Unstabilized approaches (NCA) at 5 international airports per [number] arrivals by [date] [Reduce by/maximum] Cat B and C runway incursions in 5 international [State] airports per [number] by [date] [Reduce by/maximum] of (serious ) incidents related to the LPRI (Ex. Near miss, runway incursion, airspace incursions) per [number] by [date] Action plans Continuous Descend Operations (CDO) procedures implemented – Arrival procedures charts designed for stabilized approaches Installation of ASDE/X in 5 international [State] airports Regulations enforcing LPRI , training regulations' (accreditation of training centres, testing institutions, tests, raters etc), State LPR maintenance programmes etc. Values of safety indicators [Number] non-conforming approaches (NCA) at 5 international airports [State] per [number] operations [Number] of Cat B and C runway incursions in 5 international airports [State] per [number] operations [Number] of (serious ) incidents related to the LPRI (Ex. Near miss, runway incursion, airspace incursions) State Shall comply with all applicable international standards

Project title (Insert, Header & Footer) A 37-5 - The Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) continuous monitoring approach (CMA) From 1 January 2011- evolution of USOAP to a continuous monitoring approach (CMA) CMA covers all safety provisions in Annex 1, 6, 8, 11, 13 and 14 (slide 5) All CMA information available to ALL contracting States Sources of information – various, ICVM (ICAO Validation Missions) + SAFA inspection data + IATA + IFATCA + IFALPA etc + including data on compliance with the LPR (FSIX) More details in presentation F. Grandini , EASA Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)

A 37-4 ICAO global planning for safety 190th Session of the ICAO Council (25 May 2010) - establishment of the Regional Aviation Safety Groups (RASG). The creation of the RASG for the European region (EUR RASG) - commitment at the highest level within each State, regular meetings of the senior civil aviation administrations’ representatives under the ICAO EUR Region umbrella. RASG EUR – officially created, TOR approved on 16 May 2011. First meeting – end January 2012 Project title (Insert, Header & Footer)
