It consists of: • The minimum syllabus of pilot type rating training; • The aircraft reference data to support the qualification of simulators; • The minimum syllabus of maintenance certifying staff type rating
training; • Type specific data for cabin crew; and • The master minimum equipment list (MMEL);
Summary: The European Commission published the rules for Operational Suitability Data (OSD) 28.01.2014. The OSD will ensure that certain data, necessary for safe operations of aircraft, is available to and used by the operators. This data is considered specific to an aircraft type and must therefore be produced by the designer of that type.
Part 21 EASA DOA requirements update Operational Suitability Data (OSD)
Ø The operational suitability data proposed by the designer will be approved by the EASA along with the airworthiness certification.
Ø Once approved, the operational suitability data must be used by operators and training organisations when establishing their customised training courses and MEL.
See regulations EU 69/2014; EU 70/2014 and EU 71/2014. The OSD is expected to contribute to closing the gap between airworthiness and operations.

Preliminary Impact statement on EU aircraft manufacturers concerning the related final rules: Ø The new regulations will be applicable to all EU aircraft customers.
Ø Additional support may be requested to help them in implementing the new system.
Ø The new regulation structure, and the introduction Cabin Crew attestations, will require adaptation of all affected documents and procedures, in particular for compliance documentation in front to EU customers, and in customer service and training organization.
Part 21 EASA DOA requirements update Operational Suitability Data (OSD)
Ø Not only DOA and type certification may be significantly affected due to addition of the OSD process, but also
• Aircraft operations, • Aircraft flight and maintenance training organizations. • Aircraft customers in Europe will request establishment
of OSD.

Main Objective Ø Implement ICAO Annex 19 (Safety Management) by:
• Introducing risk based approach in product certification • LOI based on consistent (safety risk) criteria • Better integration of product certification with DOA
oversight

With safety management becoming the standard for aviation safety worldwide, it is most beneficial for the international community to harmonise safety management activities, collaborate on common topics of interest and share lessons learned. To garner these benefits, the FAA along with the EASA, ICAO and TCCA have initiated a Safety Management International Collaboration Group (SM ICG). learn more about SM ICG

Ø This presentation briefly
• Defines SMS, • Describes its focus and key processes, • Identifies key SMS roles and responsibilities, and • Articulates organizational qualities and benefits of an
effective SMS. Ø It also describes
• How SMS differs from a flight safety program and • How it relates to quality management.
A safety management system is a series of defined, organization-wide processes that provide for effective risk-based decision-making related to your daily business.
2. What does the SMS focus on?
SMS focuses on maximizing opportunities to continuously improve the overall safety of the aviation system.

Ten Things You Should Know About SMS
Ø Hazard Identification – a method for identifying hazards related to your
organization;
Ø Occurrence Reporting – a process for the acquisition of safety data;
Ø Risk Management – a standard approach for assessing risks and for applying risk controls;
Ø Performance Measurement – management tools for analysing whether the organization’s safety goals are being achieved; and
Ø Quality/Safety Assurance – processes based on quality management principles that support continuous improvement of the organization’s safety performance.

Ten Things You Should Know About SMS 3. What are the key processes of an SMS?
Ø A top-down commitment from management and a personal commitment from all employees to achieve safety performance goals;
Ø A clear roadmap of what the SMS is and what it is supposed to accomplish;
Ø An established practice of open communication throughout the organization that is comprehensive and transparent, and where necessary, non-punitive; and
Ø An organizational culture that continuously strives to improve.

Ø Self-regulation / de-regulation;
Ø A stand alone department;
Ø A substitute for oversight; or
Ø An undue burden.

Ten Things You Should Know About SMS 7. What SMS is not
Ø SMS focuses on the safety aspects of the organization.
Ø QMS focuses on the services and products of the organization.
Ø While QMS focuses on conformity, SMS focuses on hazards. Both non-conformities and hazards can impact safety.
Ø Both systems enhance safety and are essential and complimentary management tools. You cannot have an effective SMS without applying quality management principles.

Ten Things You Should Know About SMS 10. What’s the difference between SMS and Quality Management Systems
Ø Hazard – Condition or object with the potential of causing injuries to personnel, damage to equipment or structures, loss of material, or reduction of ability to perform a prescribed function
Ø Consequence – Potential outcome(s) of the hazard § A wind of 15 knots blowing directly across the runway is a hazard
§ A pilot may not be able to control the aircraft during takeoff or landing is one of the consequences of the hazard
Ø Efficient and safe operations or provision of service require a constant balance between production goals... § maintaining regular aerodrome operations during a runway
construction project
Ø ...and safety goals § maintaining existing margins of safety in aerodrome operations
during runway construction project.
Ø Aviation workplaces may contain hazards which may not be cost-effective to address even when operations must continue
