Acceptable Level of SafetyThe overall level of operational safety performance established by the State, and expressed as the

safety expectation(s) of the Authority and/or the operator. From the perspective of the relationshipbetween the Authority and the operator, the acceptable level of safety provides the minimum operationalsafety performance the Authority expects the operator to achieve while conducting core businessfunctions. In practice, the acceptable level of safety is expressed in terms of operational safetyperformance indicators and operational safety performance objectives, and is a reference against whichthe oversight authority is able to measure the operational safety performance of an operator.See Operational (Safety and Security) Performance Indicators, Operational (Safety and Security)Performance Objectives and Operational (Safety and Security) RequirementsAcceptance (State or Authority)See State Acceptance.

AccidentAn occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft that takes place between the time any person

boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as all such persons have disembarked inwhich a person is fatally or seriously injured, the aircraft sustains substantial damage, or the aircraft ismissing or is completely inaccessible.Equivalent Terms:Aircraft Accident, Hull Loss

Accident Prevention and Flight Safety ProgrammeA staff management function that specialises in the collection and analysis of operational informationand data for the purpose of preventing accidents or incidents associated with aircraft operations. Typicalprogramme elements include:investigation of operational accidents, incidents and irregularities;liaison with regulatory and investigative authorities;collection and analysis of flight data and information;review and analysis of flight safety and confidential human factors reports;issuance of an operational safety publications;generation of operational safety statistics;maintenance of a flight safety databaseEquivalent Terms: Flight Safety Programme, Accident Prevention Programme, Safety Programme

Accountable ExecutiveThe senior management official designated by an operator as having overall accountability for theoperational performance of the organisation.Equivalent Terms:Accountable Manager

Action DocumentAn Engineering Instruction, Engineering Order, Engineering Request or a Special Instruction raised byTechnical Service Department or Engineering to define the operator or AMOs requirements resulting

from airworthiness service literature (i.e. ADs, SBs).Equivalent Terms: Engineering Order (EO), Engineering Instruction (EI), Engineering Request (ER)
