IOSA Standards Manual (ISM)

Working together: Where does IOSA fit?ICAO FAA Regulatory oversight

Fully complementary to USOAP

Recognized for safety benefits at ICAO 35th Assembly and ICAO Safety conference

Memorandum of Cooperation on data sharing between IOSA and USOAP

Accepted by FAA under DOT/FAA Code-share Safety Guidelines

Not intended to replace Regulatory Oversight

Can most definitely complement it Some states are mandating IOSA:

-Turkey, Chile, Madagascar, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama

- Other States considering

8

Fundamental safety management concepts incorporated since the first edition of the ISM

Identified as “requirements” in ORG Section e.g. accountability, management review,

policy, planning, communication, resources, quality management and processes and emergency response

IOSA SMS Principles

9

IATA has integrated all elements of ICAO SMS framework into IOSA

The expanded auditing requirements appear in the IOSA Standards Manual (ISM) 3rd Edition

Effective 1 October 2010

62 SMS Standards total (32 new)

ISM 3rd Edition ~ The “SMS” IOSA

10

Key Components and Principles ofIOSA SMS

Conservative phased approach has been adopted for the introduction of SMS, in line with ICAO recommended implementation plan

New SMS provisions are designated as Recommended Practices Non-conformity results in an Observation

Some existing standards have been designated as an SMS provision (i.e. Quality Assurance) Non-conformity results in a Finding

11

Safety Management System Implementation and Integration

ORG 1.1.10 The Operator should have a safety management system (SMS) that is implemented and integrated throughout the organization toaddress the safety of aircraft operations. [SMS] (GM)

Excerpt from Guidance Material “Note: Conformity with this provision is possible only when the Operator has achieved conformity with all standards and recommended practices that are identified by the [SMS] symbol”.

12

Layout of SMS ISARPs

ISM Edition 3, October 2010

ORG 3.1.1 (new) ~ Reactive & Proactive safety data data collection and analysis ORG 3.1.2 (new) ~ Safety risk assessment and mitigation program ORG 3.1.3 ~ Operational safety reporting system ORG 3.1.4 ~ Confidential safety reporting system ORG 3.2.1 (new) ~ Setting performance measures

13

Results of IOSA SMS audits

14

IOSA SMS Observations To Date

Observations Operators do not have effective SMS programs in place

Operator Challenges Reluctant to implement an SMS program with no SSP Interpretation of SMS ISARPs

Audit Organization Challenges Some admit difficulty with interpretation of ISARPs On-going guidance and training for SMS ISARPs required

15

IOSA SMS Strategy IOSA ISM Ed 3 firmly and specifically embraces the ICAO SMS

Framework

An operator that meets all IOSA SMS standards and recommended practices will be considered as having a baseline SMS in place

IOSA SMS standards will continue to evolve reflecting any ICAO changes

Mirroring ICAO recommendation of a five (5) year SMS implementation plan, and recognizing the successful implementation of current SMS standards, by 2016 all SMS provisions will be elevated to standards.
