4. Expanding Safety Analysis Capabilities
iSTARS can be accessed from the home page of the ICAO public web site. While some information on iSTARS is currently available to the public, access to many types of data (USOAP results) can only be accessed by registered users, including Secretariat staff and representatives from Member States. A registration link can be found on the iSTARS home page.

7. The Benefits of Information Sharing
Aggregation – The combination of multiple like data sources
Enhances data quality & increases sample sizes to identify emerging safety issues
Enables comparative benchmarking analyses to determine best practices
RSOO Symposium (Montréal, October 2011)

8. The Benefits of Information Sharing
Efficiency
Information sharing can reduce or eliminate duplication of effort
Proven synergies related to safety audit practices
Operational savings realized through proactive use of shared information

Issue:
Shared information must be used for the promotion of safety, not for inappropriate purposes
Expected outcome:
The Safety Information Protection Task Force is developing enhanced standards & recommended practices consistent with safety management practices

16. Runway Safety Overview
Accidents & Related Fatalities by Occurrence Categories
Scheduled Commercial Traffic – MTOW > kg (Yrs )
Looking at accidents according to occurrence category, it is possible to determine those types of accidents that are accountable for the largest numbers of fatalities.
Here you see the top occurrence categories, listed according to the number of accidents attributed to each for the 6 year period from 2005 through As you can see, runway safety related accidents account for almost 60% of the total., followed by aircraft system component failures, turbulence, those classified as “other,” loss of control – in-flight, controlled flight into terrain, a small number of accidents for which the cause is unknown and finally in-flight fires. Runway safety, which is comprised of multiple occurrences such as runway incursions, runway excursions, and abnormal runway contact (hard or long landings), was the focus of the recent Global Runway Safety Symposium and a series of Regional Runway Safety Seminars that will take place over the next 3 years.
Animation (click) - By adding fatal accidents onto this chart we see that, while runway safety related accidents account for over half of the total number of accidents globally, they are responsible for less than 30% of the total number of fatal accidents. Loss of control – in-flight, and controlled flight into terrain each account for just over 20% of all fatal accidents, a disproportionately high percentage given the low proportion of all accidents attributed to these two categories.
Animation (click) – Finally, if we look at the percentage of fatalities attributable to each category, we see that the loss of control in-flight category is responsible for the highest percentage of fatalities – approximately 30% of the total even though less than 5% of all accidents were classified as being related to loss of control. Similarly, loss of control and CFIT accidents, while rare, are highly fatal. Based on this assessment of risk, we see that overall, runway safety, CFIT and loss of control combined account for nearly 2/3 of all fatalities. AS there are a significant number of fatalities in the Unknown category, the Secretariat is working to improve the accident classification system to improve this situation.

17. ICAO Runway Safety Programme
A-37 Assembly Resolution calling upon States to:
Take measures to enhance runway safety through multi-disciplinary Runway Safety Teams (RSTs)
The Global Runway Safety Symposium and Regional Runway Safety Seminars will promote establishment of RSTs
An Assembly resolution was passed in A-37 to urge States to take measures to enhance runway safety by establishing runway safety programmes that include at least regulators, aircraft operators, air navigation services providers, aerodrome operators and aircraft manufacturers, and that such measures should actively adopt a multi-disciplinary approach.
ICAO successfully organized a global runway safety symposium in Montreal from 24 to 26 May 2011, in collaboration with international partners and stakeholders. Subsequent to the global symposium, a series of regional runway safety seminars/workshops will be held in different regions of the world.
