Creation of the European Aviation Safety Advisory Committee (EASAC) end of 2009: Report to EASA Management Board, Meetings every 2 months.

Tasked to advise on European Aviation safety: Strategy: Policies and objectives from political

authorities, Programme: Integrated set of regulations and

activities aimed at improving safety. Plan: High level safety issues assessment and

related action plan,

EASAC


EASAC Tasks Objective

Contribute to the development of the European Aviation Safety Strategy.

Tasks Review the outcome of the European Aviation Safety

Programme working group, after consultation with the Accident Investigation Boards.

Facilitate the development and regular review of the European Aviation Safety Plan,

Identify the need for action, Establish a mechanism to monitor the action

implementation status, Propose safety indicators and metrics.

EASAC


EASAC members

Chaired by the Executive Director.

Agency acts as secretary.

The EASAC comprises safety experts from the: Commission (DG TREN) Eurocontrol Agency Selected Member States Industry

Association of European Airlines AEA AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association ASD European Cockpit association ECA

EASAC


Aviation safety strategy for Europe

An Aviation safety strategy for Europe is being drafted by the Commission.

Provisional structure of the document: Where are we now? Where do we want to go?

Need for a single statement of where we wish to be by 2020.

How to get there? Actions at European level – an integrated

safety plan, Actions at International level - an effective

global system of safety assurance.

EASAC


Aviation safety strategy for Europe

EASAC commented as follows: Agreed the outline of the Strategy. underlined that high level discussions on Just

culture and the framework of data sharing ought to be mentioned as well as the vision in terms of resources.


European Aviation Safety Programme

Objective to deliver by end of March 2010 a manual describing the European Aviation Safety Programme and its implementation.

Under the leadership of EASA Rulemaking This manual will in particular:

Be based on the three pillars of safety management Using a process based approach, describe the

mechanisms and interactions leading to the elaboration of a multi-annual European Aviation Safety Plan based on duly identified safety priorities and related mitigating measures

Propose a risk assessment methodology allowing to identify these safety priorities and to monitor the effectiveness of the related mitigating measures

EASAC


European Aviation Safety Plan: High level safety issues assessment and

related action plan Planning:

High level safety themes in June MB adoption in December

Focus on Commercial Air transport However GA will be taken into account

European Aviation Safety Plan (1/4)

EASAC


Opinion gathering topics suggested within EASAC: Sharing of raw data, need for a strong political system to

avoid issues on disclosure of confidential data (just culture);

Analysis of data; Harmonized approach on Performance Indicators

(taxonomy); Better sharing of information between Industry, NAAs

and the Agency to avoid gaps and redundancy; Current safety issues mostly rest with Human Factors,

hence the importance of pilot training; Climate change to be addressed in the Plan to adapt

requirements to aircraft and operations; Categorisation of risks separating historical risks from

potential risks.


EASAC



Need ad-hoc approach pending methodology defined

Possible approach: Top 5 safety concerns from Member States Synthesis of existing plans (DGAC, UK CAA,

ENAC, ECAST, ICAO Global aviation safety plan, Agency top-5)

EASAC



Two aspects: Systemic issues: Some proposals below:

data sharing and analysis future challenges Just culture Human factors Interface between processes Total system engineering process.

Specific topics (e.g. impact of climate change on safety)

EASAC


Safety performance indicators

Propose a risk assessment methodology allowing to identify safety priorities and to monitor the effectiveness of the related mitigating measures.

Multi-layer approach for Safety performance indicators:

1st tier: for general information purpose, as the ones in

the Annual Safety Review,

2nd tier: to highlight key safety issues to be tackled

Under further development by ESPICT (European

Safety Performance Indicators Consultative Team)

3rd tier: to measure the effectiveness of safety

management (Plan implementation).

EASAC


Other issues discussed in EASAC

Preparation of the ICAO high level aviation safety conference. Among papers, conference on air safety and

climate change in Cologne 8-9 September. European Pool of Safety Analysts (EPSA):

Agreement to develop process, procedures , etc to enable implementation within 6 month

outcome on the conference on pilots training Paper presented at the ICAO conference Internal Group on Pilot training


Next meeting (April 13) agenda

Adoption of the agenda Adoption of the summary of the last

meeting EU communication on strategy Strategy conference Outcome of the ICAO High Level Conference European Aviation Safety Programme Top five safety concerns Update on pilots training AOB
