European Aviation Safety
Programme (EASP)
ICAO, through the Annexes,
is gradually introducing the principles
of safety management in civil aviation
In brief:
Organisations will be required to have a
Safety Management System (SMS)
Contracting States will be required to
establish a set of regulations and
activities aimed at improving safety (SSP)
17

European Aviation Safety
Programme (EASP)
The EASA System will ultimately comprise
an integrated set of regulations and
activities aimed at maintaining
a high and uniform level of safety
The implementation of SSP at European
level will introduce an element of
continuous improvement
Since competences are shared, a work in
partnership is necessary in order to
implement a European wide SSP
18

European Aviation Safety
Programme (EASP)
A European Aviation Safety
Programme (EASP) is being
established to:
Enhance the work in partnership
Share information
Plan for future safety priorities based on a
risk assessment methodology
Establish and implement safety actions
Evaluate their effectiveness
19

Safety Culture
Publishing and enforcing clear, concise and
accurate standard operating procedures,
and training the rationale behind those
procedures; ensuring company training
programs are approved and monitored; and
ensuring adequacy of contractor training.
In discussion
Encouraging a safety culture that includes:
(1) development of an accident/incident
cost analysis tool,
(2) a self-audit process,
(3) risk management programs,
(4) revised standards for the Director of
Safety, and
(5) development of incident reporting

Way forward
ECAST has to agree on what organisations
will review the US CAST SE’s
The task will consist of:
Assessing relevance to Europe
Determining whether actions need to be taken
What actions need to be taken
Who is in charge of implementation and monitoring
EASA Rulemaking will take part in the review

EASA Extension Part II
(EC) 3641/2009 amends regulation (EC) 216/2008
with a view to improving the safety of aerodromes,
air traffic management and air navigation services
Extends EASA's competences to cover the safety of
aerodromes, air traffic-management and air
navigation services. In particular, the EASA's new
tasks will cover:
Rulemaking;
and standardisation inspections.
In addition, as far as ATM and air navigation services
are concerned, it will be necessary to coordinate the
common safety rules properly with the new Single
European Sky regulation and the related
implementing rules
The regulation repeals Council directive 06/23/EEC.
38

Single European Sky – Package II
Single European Sky – Package II (EC) 3640/2009 regulation
amends four existing regulations adopted in 2004.
Since their adoption it has proved necessary to consolidate and
address a number of challenges, relating in particular to:
Sustainable development – taking into account the environmental
impact of aviation through, for example, the creation of a rational
European route network, including shorter routes for intra-Community
traffic;
Performance – the performance of the network in terms of reduction in
delays and lower costs for airspace users;
Governance issues - ensuring that the system is supervised in a
transparent and correct manner at national and EU level.
The regulation sets a fixed deadline for the implementation of
functional airspace blocks that are a tool for a more rational and
efficient European airspace.
Safety rules are to be coordinated with EASA.
39

EHEST from the IHSS
The top 4 identified SPS areas are:
Pilot judgment & actions
Safety culture/management
Ground duties/Mission preparation
Pilot situation awareness
High correlation with US results on SPS level 1
Differences can be observed for the various types
of operation
HFACS enhances the analysis of human factor
issues
