Introduction to safety management systems (SMS) Part-2 (47 cards)
What is annex 19?
safety management
What is annex 19 safety management meant to re-enforce.
the role played by the state in managing safety at the state level, stressing the concept of overall safety performance in all domains, in coordination with service providers.
What does SMM stand for?
Safety Management Manual
What does SSP stand for?
State Safety Program (SSP)
What is the SMM?
It is a manual that provides states, product and service providers with:
-a overview of safety management fundamentals,
- a summary of ICAO safety management SARPS (containing
annexes 1, 6, 8, 11, 13 & 14)
-Guidance on how to develop and implement an SSP in compliance with relevant ICAO SARPs.
and Guidance on SMS development, implantation and maintenance.
What is annex 1?
Personnel Licensing
What is annex 6?
Operation of Aircraft
What is annex 8?
Airworthiness of Aircraft
What is annex 11?
Air Traffic Services
What is annex 13?
Aircraft Accident and incident Investigation?
What is Annex 14?
Aerodromes
What does SARPs stand for?
Standards and Recommended Practices
What is the purpose of the ICAO safety Management SARPs?
To provide the high-level requirements that the States and services providers must implement to fulfil their safety management responsibilities related to, or in direct support of, the safety operation of aircraft.
Which two audience groups are the ICAO safety Management SARPs targeted at?
States and services providers.
What are some examples of service providers? (Check answer with RAM)
- Approved training organisations that are exposed to safety risks during the provision of their services
- Aircraft and helicopter operators authorised to conduct international commercial air transport
- Approved maintenance organisations providing services to operators of aeroplanes or helicopters engaged in international commercial air transport
- Organisations responsible for type design and/or manufacture of aircraft;
- Air traffic service providers; and,
- Operators of certified aerodromes
ICAO safety management SARPs require an acceptable level of safety to be established by States how is this defined in each State?
By their safety performance targets and safety performance indicators
What should be taken into consideration when implementing performance targets and safety performance indicators?
- level of risk that applies
- Cost/benefits of improvements to the system
- Public expectations
How are Safety performance targets determined?
By considering what safety performance levels are desirable and realistic for individual operators/service providers. They should be measurable, acceptable to stakeholders and consistent with the member State’s safety program. )
What are examples of Safety performance targets?
- Reduction in fatal airline accidents
- Reduction in serious incidents,
- reduction in runway incursion/excursion events,
- reduction in ground-collision events,
- number of inspections completed quarterly
What are safety performance indicators?
a measure of the safety performance of of an aviation organisation, components of a Member State safety program, or an operator/service provider’s SMS. Safety indicators therefore will differ between different segments of the aviation industry, such as aircraft operators, aerodrome operators and air traffic service providers.
What are examples of safety performance indicators?
- Fatal accidents
- Serious incidents,
- Runway excursion
- ground collision events
- development/absence of primary aviation legislation
- operating regulations
With an SMS who is it important to involve?
all internal and external aviation system stakeholders who have a potential impact on the organisation’s safety performance.
What are some examples of stakeholders?
Aviation professionals •
- Aviation regulatory and administrative authorities
- Industry trade associations
- Professional associations and federations
- International aviation organisations
- Subcontractors or principals of a service provider
- The flying public
What are the four components of an SMS?
1) Safety policy and objectives
2) Safety risk management
3) Safety assurance
4) Safety promotion
