  1. Safety and EfficiencyAn ICAO Perspective Aviation Safety, Security & the Environment: The Way Forward Vince Galotti Chief/Air Traffic Management ICAO

  2. Presentation OutlineTwo issues Evolution of ICAO’s efforts toward a more seamless and global ATM system Safety Management

  3. Global ATM Operational Concept Provides the ICAO vision of seamless, global ATM system Endorsed by 11th ANCONF SESAR and NexGen are adapting the concept Performance Based Transition Global Air Navigation Plan 23 Global Plan Initiatives Stems from industry roadmap Assists in establishment of performance objectives Assists in implementation of ATM operational improvements CONTINUED EVOLUTION TOWARD A MORE GLOBAL AND SEAMLESS ATM SYSTEM

  4. Safety Management How do we ensure safety in the more complex, synchronized global system that we strive toward

  5. TECHNICAL FACTORS HUMAN FACTORS TODAY ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS 2000s 1950s 1970s 1990s The evolution of safety thinking

  6. Concept of safety • The elimination of accidents (and serious incidents) is unachievable. • Failures will occur, in spite of the most accomplished prevention efforts. • No human endeavour or human-made system can be free from risk and error. • Controlled risk and error is acceptable in an inherently safe system.

  7. Concept of safety (Doc 9859) • Safetyis the state in which the risk of harm to persons or property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or below, an acceptable level through a continuing process of hazard identification and risk management.

  8. Management levels Resources Resources Protection Production The management dilemma

  9. The big picture • Operation of aircraft • Maintenance of aircraft • Air traffic services • Aerodromes • Two audience groups • States • Service providers • Three distinct requirements • Safety programme • SMS • Management accountability

  10. As of 23 November 2006 • States shall establish a safety programme, in order to achieve an acceptable level of safety in: • The operation of aircraft • The maintenance of aircraft • The provision of air traffic services • Aerodrome operations • The acceptable level of safety to be achieved shall be established by the State(s) concerned

  11. What is a safety programme? • An integrated set of regulations and activities aimed at improving safety. • States are responsible for establishing a safety programme: • Safety regulation • Safety oversight • Accident/incident investigation • Mandatory/voluntary reporting systems • Safety data analysis and exchange • Safety assurance • Safety promotion

  12. As of 23 November 2006 • States shall require, as part of their safety programme, that an [operator, maintenance organization, ATS provider, certified aerodrome operator] implements a safety management system accepted by the State that, as a minimum: • Identifies safety hazards • Ensures that remedial action necessary to maintain an acceptable level of safety is implemented • Provides for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the safety level achieved • Aims to make continuous improvement to the overall level of safety

  13. What is an SMS? • A systematic approach to managing safety, including the necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures. • Providers are responsible for establishing an SMS. • States are responsible of the acceptance and oversight for providers’ SMS.

  14. As of 23 November 2006 • An accepted safety management system shall clearly define lines of safety accountability throughout the [airline, maintenance, ATS provider, certified aerodrome operator] organization, including direct accountability for safety on the part of senior management. Note. – Guidance on safety management systems is contained in the ICAO Safety Management Manual (Doc 9859). (Accountability – Obligation or willingness to account for one’s actions)

  15. Safety programme – SMS relationships Protection Production State safety programme Objective: Public safety Oversight Acceptance Oversight Objective: Achieve commercial goals and customer satisfaction Organization’s safety management system (SMS) Organization’s production processes Objective: Manage and control safety risk Risk management Safety assurance

  19. Safety culture • A construct • An outcome, not a process • The introduction of safety management concepts lays the foundation upon which to build a safety culture • Safety culture cannot be “mandated” or “designed”, it evolves. • It is generated “top-down”

  20. Positive culture Source: David Marx Informed culture People are knowledgeable about the human, technical, organizational and environmental factors that determine the safety of the system as a whole. Flexible culture People can adapt organizational processes when facing high temporary operations or certain kinds of danger, shifting from the conventional hierarchical mode to a flatter mode. Reporting culture People are prepared to report their errors and experiences Positive culture Learning culture People have the willingness and the competence to draw conclusions from safety information systems and the will to implement major reforms. Just culture People are encouraged (even rewarded) for providing essential safety-related information. However, there is a clear line that differentiates between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.

  21. Summary • The global ATM system continues to grow rapidly • The growth will continue (environment?) • ICAO works toward a safe and efficient growth • Global ATM operational concept • Global Air Navigation plan • New approach to safety • Proactive, predictive • Performance based • SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
