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?

Copyright © 2012 Civil Aviation AuthorityPresentation title; Total System, Safety Management Systems and Performance Based Oversight 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? 4

Copyright © 2012 Civil Aviation AuthorityPresentation title; Total System, Safety Management Systems and Performance Based Oversight 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 6

Copyright © 2012 Civil Aviation AuthorityPresentation title; Total System, Safety Management Systems and Performance Based Oversight Safety Management Systems (SMS) 8 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

Copyright © 2012 Civil Aviation AuthorityPresentation title; Total System, Safety Management Systems and Performance Based Oversight 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 9

Copyright © 2012 Civil Aviation AuthorityPresentation title; Total System, Safety Management Systems and Performance Based Oversight 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 10
