ICAO ASPAC Region

• 40 Contracting States and Administrations

• 1,207 commercial airports

• 359 airlines

• 5,090 aircraft in service representing 25% of Global fleet

• Projected to almost triple by 2032

• 40 air navigation service providers

• Air transport supports 6.1 million jobs

• Aviation Safety high priority• Going forward maintaining status quo can only result in

increasing the number of accidents and major incidents

US Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST)

• In 1998 CAST committed to the goal to reduce the commercial

aviation fatality rate in the USA by 80% by 2008. • In 2008 CAST reported it had reduced the fatality rate by 83% • CAST success the result of the voluntary collaboration between

the FAA and Industry by examining past accident data and

developing and implementing Safety Enhancements (SE)• CAST approach now is to be proactive and focus on examining

emerging and changing risks to identify prevention strategies

based on the analysis from incident data • Greater emphasis on acquiring, sharing and analyzing aviation

safety data (FOQA) on a voluntary basis • CAST now committed to the goal of 50% from 2010 to 2025 and

working with other government and industry partners

Regional activities - COSCAP

• Formed under the umbrella of ICAO’s Technical Co-operation

Programme (TCP) • Primary purpose to enhance flight safety in the region• Ongoing effort to improve aviation safety in Asia through

• Needs assessment• Supporting the establishment of a national safety

framework • Sharing of safety practices • Provision of technical assistance and training for capacity

building • Implementation of safety enhancement initiatives

Regional activities – ICAO APAC RASG/ RAST

• RASG grouping of the regions regulators• Established to address and implement regionally the Global

Aviation Safety Plan / Global Aviation Safety Roadmap

(GASP/GASR). • Focus on ICAO priorities Runway safety, CFIT, LOC• RAST joint regulator/ industry forum developing safety

enhancements to address ICAO priorities• Focus on the sharing of data and best practices

AAPA FOSWG &CaSWG

• Regional industry safety forum open to Asia Pacific International

airlines (2X per year)• Data management and analysis• Benchmark airline safety performance• Support capacity building within the region• Promote the sharing of safety data and best practices• Promote the sharing and implementation of best practices to

enhance regional safety• Data driven safety priorities: Wild life hazards, Infrastructure

deficiencies, runway safety, CFIT, LOC, safety outreach efforts

Airline safety compliance approach

• Implemented safety, data management and reporting systems

to be in compliance with national regulatory requirements that

are based on ICAO Annexes (1,6,8,11,13, 14 and now 19) • Reports safety in accordance with national requirements• Tendency towards a reactive approach• Limited data sharing• Reactive response to incidents• SMS requires a proactive/ interactive approach to addressing

accident/ incidents• Identifying and understanding the main hazards and risks to

the airline operation a challenge

You cannot fix what you cannot measure

• Safety solutions cannot be fixed in isolation or by directive• It requires the regions regulators and industry to collaborate

and cooperate at national and regional level by:• Gathering and analysing all types of safety data • Sharing safety data and the information gained from the analysis• Sharing of best practices, data analysis tools and techniques, data

management

• Being data rich is not enough if it lacks direction, clear

objectives and targets• Assurance of data protection at national and regional level to

avoid misuse • Data protection critical, requires regional and global

partnerships to realize an effective integrated safety

management system.

Challenges

• Asia Pacific diverse region has varying levels of capability and

capacity among regulators and airlines• Joint regulatory and industry consultations/ activities not the

norm, although slowly changing• Building “trust” between involved parties (government,

regulator, airport, ANSP, airlines, senior management,

politicians, unions and the travelling)• Agreeing on common models and methodologies, and criteria

for reporting and benchmarking• Identifying an acceptable (independent) gatekeeper • Requires long term investment and commitment in resources• Overcoming, working with the Legal system

Closing Thoughts

• Aviation is a key part of everyday modern life and drives global economic and social development

• Aviation has an outstanding safety record

• To realize an effective integrated safety management system requires partnerships based on cooperation and collaboration

• Regional safety needs to be inclusive and requires regional thinking and regional solutions

• Effective safety management is “data driven”

• Safety outcome is key

Have the confidence and optimism to share data and best practice in the future
