12. U.S. Response:CAST Goals
Reduce the U.S. commercial aviation fatal accident rate by 80% by 2007
Work together with airlines, JAA, ICAO, IATA, FSF, IFALPA, other international organizations and appropriate regulatory/ government authorities to reduce worldwide commercial aviation fatal accident rate

14. ICAO Response: GASP GASP Fundamentals: GASP Elements:
Review Accident Causal Factors-Worldwide/ Regional
Link with Existing Safety Groups
Promote Safety Awareness Worldwide-Sharing Data
GASP Elements:
Intervention/Remedial Action
Dissemination of Data
Identification of Safety Initiatives
Analysis
Collection of Data/Information
Objectives of GASP
Reduce the number of accidents and fatalities irrespective of the volume of air traffic
Achieve a significant decrease in world-wide accident rates

15. Cooperative Work/Plans
Working Together CAST - JSSI - GASP
Identifying Top Safety Priorities Using a Structured Data Based Approach
Working on Teams Together
Enabling Implementation of Key Interventions to Reduce the Fatal Accident Rate
Importance of Data Gathering/Sharing
EGPWS Annex 6 revision to require this
Annex 11 – Minimum Safe Altitude Warning Systems
New Part XIII: standard operating procedures

16. Asia Pacific ICAO Safety Groups
COSCAP: (Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme) Enhancing safety and efficiency
South Asia, Southeast Asia, and North Asia
PASO – Pacific Aviation Safety Office
Three Sub-Regional Safety Groups under COSCAP: (South Asia, Southeast Asia, North Asia Regional Aviation Safety Teams)

17. Cooperation with Regional Safety Teams
SARAST/SEARAST share information-potentially meet together
Materials to Support Enhancements are Shared Between Teams
Future: Share among all teams

18. Stay Focused on High Priority Areas – High Yield Safety Enhancements
Comprehensive Data-Driven Industry/Government Collaboration
Target Scarce Resources to High Priority Areas, Common in The World/Region
Asia-Pacific: CFIT and Approach and Landing = Highest Safety Risk Areas
Implement Enhancements with High Priority Safety Benefits to Reduce Risk
Capitalize on Sharing Work – Avoiding Rework and Duplication

19. Summary The Time for Action is Now
Safety Team Work is Yielding Results
Commonalities Exist and Working Together will Eliminate Unnecessary Duplication of Effort
