The ICAO Global Aviation Safety Roadmap

Developed in 2006 by the Industry Safety Strategy Group led by IATA for ICAO

Frame of reference for all stakeholders

To improve coordination and to minimise duplication of safety work worldwide

The ESSI fits well within this framework



The European Strategic Safety Initiative (ESSI)

The ESSI is an industry/regulators partnership for enhancing safety in Europe based on voluntary commitment

Facilitated – not owned - by EASAand powered by industry

ESSI Vision, Aim and Mission

Vision To be among the World’s most successful strategic

aviation safety partnerships

Aim Reduce the rate of accidents and the fatality risk

irrespective of the volume of air traffic within Europe and for European aviation worldwide

Mission Through a successful professional alliance of aviation

organisations improve civil aviation safety by reducing safety risk and protecting the aviation community, passengers and the general public from harm caused by aviation related accidents and incidents

The European General Aviation Safety Team: EGAST



ESSI - EGAST

A wide spectrum of activities National Aero Clubs and Associations Ten’s of thousands of pilots

Create a forum for: Sharing best practices Improving sources of information Safety promotion

Taking soundings Rulemaking activities and national initiatives

Just launched (17 Oct 07)



Conclusion (1)

The ESSI is an aviation safety partnership between EASA, other regulators and the industry

To further enhance safety for citizens in Europe and worldwide through: Safety analysis Implementation of cost effective action plans And coordination with other safety initiatives

worldwide



Conclusion (2)

Europe has specificities compared to the US and US-CAST, such as: Dense mix of different types of airspace, often with military mix

Typically less crossing time-zones for domestic traffic

Terrain – populated / hostile environments (mountains)

No fully integrated regulatory functions

Multiple languages and cultures

NA, SA and SEA regions also have specificities

ESSI offers a new approach to regional safety

Still in the takeoff phase, ESSI is looking forward to cooperate with Asia-Pacific RAST
