The Global Aviation Safety Roadmap and the Global Aviation Safety Plan Regional Implementation Update Gerardo M. Hueto Member, Industry Safety Strategy Group Program Manager, Regional Aviation Safety Boeing Commercial Airplanes Good Morning. I’m here today as a member of the Industry Safety Steering Group to invite you to share in a rare opportunity. It is an opportunity to make a major difference for commercial aviation safety at the worldwide level. Such opportunities are rare, but we believe that the time has come to harness the talent, knowledge and experience represented in this room to do great things together.

Presentation Overview The GASR and the GASP Regional Initiatives Goals & Objectives of a Workshop

The Global Aviation Safety Roadmap Developed by the Industry Safety Strategy Group for ICAO Contents: Sets out a rationale and describes a general approach, based on metrics and risk measurement. Establishes 12 key focus areas Objectives are described for each focus area for near and mid-term accomplishment. Emphasizes aviation safety enablers (measures already in progress) in developing regions. Focus Areas: States Consistent implementation of int’l. standards Consistent regulatory oversight No impediments to reporting errors/ incidents Effective incident and accident investigation Industry No impediments to reporting and analyzing errors/ incidents Consistent use of Safety Management Systems Consistent compliance with regulatory rqmts Consistent adoption of industry best practices Alignment of global industry safety strategies Sufficient number of qualified personnel No gaps in use of technology to enhance safety Regions Consistent coordination of regional programs Goals and Objectives: Provide a common frame of reference for all stakeholders Coordinate and guide safety policies and initiatives worldwide to reduce the accident risk for commercial aviation Avoid duplication of effort and uncoordinated strategies Encourage close industry and government cooperation on common safety objectives Timescale: Near (2007-10) and Medium Term (2010-14) The 12 Focus Areas were grouped into 3 sets according to the primary sector of the aviation system most responsible for carrying out measures to achieve them. By organizing the Focus Areas in this manner the ISSG does not want to imply that States, Industry and Regions should address the Roadmap independently. Rather, as the text describes, this is intended to be a joint effort with all three groups working together at a regional level. Industry commits to unify plans through the Roadmap

The Global Aviation Safety Plan ICAO Actions ICAO formed a working group to integrate the Roadmap into its Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) The New GASP was accepted by ICAO in July 2007 GASP forms the basis of ICAO Safety initiatives going forward, including the Africa Plan, presented to and endorsed at the September 2007 ICAO Assembly

Industry and ICAO Are Committed to the Roadmap process GASP/GASR is the primary guide for industry and States to work together to improve global aviation safety. Most major gains in safety have come from: Close cooperation between industry and government Sharing best practices Regions and States can use its objectives and best practices to engage international stakeholders in developing regional safety plans Future industry support of global and regional safety initiatives will be tied to the Roadmap process We invite COSCAPs, Regional Groups and States to work with ICAO and the ISSG to implement GASP

What Makes the Roadmap Unique? Focus is on doing the most important things first Requires that a logical process be followed so regions are always investing their energy in the most critical actions Provides metrics and measurement that enable rigorously managed improvement Focuses and optimizes efforts through existing mechanisms, not new bureaucracies Reassures donors that their contributions will yield the maximum results. Hence its strong industry backing Is the primary guide for industry and states to work together to improve global aviation safety

Global Aviation Safety Roadmap Industry and ICAO committed to unify plans through Roadmap The Roadmap Part 1 was reviewed and approved in December at the highest level of each Stakeholder organization for presentation to ICAO’s Council President and to the Air Navigation Commission.

The Regional Perspective: Accident Rates Vary by Region of the World Western-built transport hull loss accidents, by airline domicile, 1998 through 2007 Europe 0.7 United States and Canada 0.4 China 0.3 Middle East 2.3 Asia (Excluding China) 2.1 Africa 10.0 Latin America and Caribbean 2.1 Oceania 0.0 The CAST plan is renowned worldwide. This chart shows : Accident rates by region of the world Regional cooperative safety activities (ICAO and local regulators working together – COSCAPs) by region. The number of CAST Safety Enhancements adopted by the North Asia COSCAP and the European JSSI (Joint Safety Strategy Initiative) are also depicted. World 1.1 Accidents per million departures rce/vdg July 2008

The Regional Perspective In the 21st century a safe flight should be a basic right of citizens everywhere Accident rates are unacceptable, but historical We have the ability to change this Rapid positive change depends on: Industry and government working together Focusing joint energy on the most significant problems. Workshops help participants focus on the “right things to do” and determine what to do about them.
