Annex 19 reinforces the role played by States in managing aviation safety, stressing the concept of overall safety performance in all domains in coordination with service providers.

Recommendations for Amendment to Annex 19 - Due 4 Quarter 2014

Guidance material due in 2014 and 2016 States need to file differences by October 2013

Safety Management Manual (Doc 9859 3rd Ed)

Restructured according to the SSP and SMS frameworks. Its Objective is to provide States and Product/Service providers with:

• An overview of accepted safety management fundamentals.• A summary of ICAO SARPs.• Guidance on the ICAO harmonized State Safety Programme (SSP) framework and its implementation and operation.• Guidance for product and service providers on Safety Management System (SMS) framework and its implementation and operation. (i.e. SMS Policy, SMS Manager Position, Sample PD’s, Gap Analysis)

The Regulator: Change in Role and Position

State Safety Plan (SSP):

Responsible for regulations Responsible for periodic or special on-site audits of the SMS including

verification of procedures

Basic Role of the Regulator:

To agree key safety standards and principles To ensure national standards meet international To resist unacceptable shortcuts to safety To ensure service providers have appropriate safety measures in place (including SMS) To monitor overall safety performance To ensure implementation of remedial actions

• A structured means of safety risk management decision making

• A means of demonstrating safety management capability before system failures occur

• Increased confidence in risk controls though structured safety assurance processes

• An effective interface for knowledge sharing between regulator and certificate holder

• A safety promotion framework to support a sound safety culture

Regulator Basic Expectations of Safety Management

The Regulator(s) Can Present Several Challenges to The Service Provider

Examples of Different Regulator Applications:

Requiring Two Accountable ManagersNot Designating an SMS Manager for Large

OrganizationsPerforming SMS Audits (On-Site)Not Performing AuditsApproving SMS ManualsAccepting SMS ManualsAccepting Manuals Approved by Other AuthoritiesRequiring SMS as part of QMSNot Requiring or Enforcing SMS

Does the SSP enforcement policy include provision to protect the sources of information obtained from voluntary incident reporting systems? [3.4.8(d); App 3; App 11]

The Regulator’s Enforcement Policy – Disclosure of Safety Data

And De-conflict Enforcement Policies with Accident/Incident Policies!

Page 10: Building and Implementing a Robust Safety Management  Framework          -   A  Regulator's Perspective

Quality and Safety Management Key Points QMS and SMS – Common Methods and Techniques, but different Objectives:

• QMS Objective is Customer Satisfaction• SMS Objective is Aviation Safety Focused

Not required to have a QMS, but if an entity does have one, it cannot conflict with SMS

Role of the Safety Manager: What are the Regulators Requiring?Is it Safety or Quality? At What Level?

"It is how the tools and techniques are used, along with a focus on investigation of events, which makes the quality and safety

management systems different. The quality systems do not investigate incidents or accidents for risk assessment. Quality systems audit

output of a process only for variance, and makes adjustments. SMS investigates events, looking for contributing factors from all influencing

sources."

What Service Providers Should Do ?Service providers should demonstrate a proactive and systematic approach to its stakeholders

Provide comments suggestions to ICAO, Regulators, Associations The use by industry of SMS is an increasingly necessary basis for fulfilling service-providers’ safety responsibilities.

Service Provider: Responsible for ensuring safety Responsible for complying with SARPS Responsible for showing to the Regulators that they are managing safety Group Consensus Collaboration Use Industry Tools (i.e. CAST – Safety Enhancements

USA SSP

The US FAA responsibilities include most of SSP requirements.

Other US government organizations, such as National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), will also need to be included in the US SSP

USA meets the intent of most of ICAO SSP requirements (i.e. ATOS, VDRP, FOQA) Differences Filed!

Safety Management International Collaboration Group (SM ICG)

• Purpose: to promote a common understanding of safety management principles and requirements, facilitating their application across the international aviation community– Collaborate on common SMS/SSP topics of interest– Share lessons learned– Encourage the progression of a harmonized SMS– Share products with the aviation community– Collaboration with international organizations such as ICAO and civil aviation authorities

FAA & EASA SMS Requirements for Foreign Operators?

FAA can only apply SMS provisions to Foreign Operators under FAR Part 129.

SMS requirements can only applied to the level of FAA compliance to ICAO SARPs.

Currently Not in FAA IASA Program

Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 and Part-TCOEASA Third Country Evaluation PhaseFor operators in category A, the process will consist of a straight-forward desktop file review. Operators who have been grouped into categories B and C are required to provide additional information online including at least:- compliance statements with a set of selected ICAO SARPS, including references to the applicant’s operations manual;- additional information that will enable the Agency to prepare for the assessment in the areas airworthiness, operations and safety management;- a statement of the competent authority of the applicant confirming that all

information is true and correctBasic Viewpoint “Equivalent Level of Safety”

12/JUL/2013: EASA Committee votes favourably on the EASA TCO proposal. The meeting of The EASA Committee took place in Brussels from Wednesday 10 to Friday 12 July, during which the proposal for a Commission Regulation on Third Country Operators (TCO) was adopted. The proposal will now undergo European Parliament and European Council scrutiny, and its final adoption and publication by the European Commission is expected before the end of 2013.

And Other Authorities? - It may vary from requiring IATA IOSA Registration to having an Authority Approved Safety Management Program

Some Recommendations◢ 1st Conform with Home Authority’s SMS Reqmts.◢ Have strong policy statement driven (ICAO

template)◢ Perform Continual Gap and SWOT Analysis◢ Provide comments suggestions to ICAO, Regulators,

Associations, SM ICG◢ Have strong internal SMS audit program◢ Third party audits on occasion and
