PRIORITIESRUNWAY SAFETY

CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT)LOSS OF CONTROL - INFLIGHT

2017• All States establish effective

safety oversight systems

• States with effective safety oversight (over 60% EI) fully implement SSP

• States / Stakeholders support RASGs with the sharing of safety information

2022• All Member States fully

implement the ICAO SSP Framework

• RASGs incorporate regional monitoring and safety management programmes

2027• Member States implement

safety capabilities as necessary to support future Air Navigation Systems

Near-term Mid-term Long-term


Global Safety Priorities

• Major improvements in the last decade due to:– Enhanced ground proximity warning systems– Glass cockpits, terrain alerting systems– Emphasis by ICAO, regulators and industry on education and training

• Several initiatives under consideration to increase situational awareness

– Heads-up display, synthetic and enhanced visions systems

2. CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT)

1. RUNWAY SAFETYEntebbe, Uganda 4-8 Nov 2013Istanbul, Turkey 6-8 Nov 2013Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 18-20 Nov 2013UAE April 2014

3. LOSS OF CONTROL - INFLIGHT • Bringing the aviation community together to:– Review what has been done through Loss of Control and Recovery Training

(LOCART) a collaboration of International regulators/experts;– Hear what is planned through the US FAA ARC and the International Committee

for Aviation Training in Extended Envelope (Mar-Sep 2012); – Learn about new Licensing and training Standards in Annex 1 and Annex 6, Part

1 (Nov 2013); and– Agree on a global work programme for the future

Runway Safety Programme next steps• Review and update runway safety products• Update RSP web site with runway safety products• Confirm 2014 events calendar• Review RST survey results for analysis• Revise and publish final RST Handbook• Develop and agree schedule and priorities for work

plan 2014 – 2015 (inputs and outputs)• Develop and agree on RS taxonomy, indicators,

metrics, targets & reporting• Study iKit proposal

16 October 2013

• All Contracting States in the area of accreditation of EUR/NAT Office are automatically Members of the RASG-EUR

• Regional organizations, within the area of accreditation of the EUR/NAT Office of ICAO which have mechanisms in place for the management of aviation safety are entitled to participate as members in the RASG-EUR.

RASG-EUR Composition

16 October 2013

a) to support the implementation of the GASP and the associated GASR in the EUR Region by ensuring effective coordination and cooperation between all stakeholders and monitoring progress in the implementation of the GASP and GASR; and

b) as part of the GASP and GASR and building on the work already performed by States and regional organizations, to support the establishment and operation of performance-based safety systems within the Region.

RASG-EUR Objectives

16 October 2013

RASG-EUR achievements

• Approval of RASG-EUR Procedural Handbook• Creation of the ICAO EUR Regional Expert Safety

Team (IE-REST), to support the development and implementation of safety enhancement initiatives (SEIs) and activities in the part of the ICAO EUR Region not covered by the regulatory framework of the EU/ EASA regulatory framework

• Endorsement of priorities for the IE-REST work programme

• Step taken for coordination and cooperation between RASG-EUR and PIRGs (mainly EANPG)
