...To the Future !

• Pan American Aviation Safety Team
• Regional Initiative to Achieve
• a Global Safety Goal

PAAST was born out of regional need

• We had to do something about
• poor safety record - poor safety culture
• safety tools not reaching pilots, controllers,
  and airlines
• traffic growth, new aircraft, new crews
• too many safety programs going in different
  directions - wasted efforts
• lack of focused safety strategy

LATIN AMERICA THE CARIBBEAN

• . A VERY LARGE REGION AND A CHALLENGING
  ENVIRONMENT
• STATES TERRITORIES 47

• LANGUAGES 5
• PILOTS IN EXCESS OF 20,000
• CONTROLLERS IN EXCESS OF 4,500

CAR/SAM ATS Quality Assurance Programme Workshop
Project

• Raymond Ybarra
• Regional Director
• North American, Central American and Caribbean
  Office

51
Problem Identified

• Studies were conducted by the CAR/SAM Planning
  and Implementation Group (GREPECAS) to identify
  causes of ATS incidents and accidents in the
  CAR/SAM Regions.
• The most prominent deficiency noted was the
  unsatisfactory use of approved Aeronautical
  Phraseology by Air Traffic Controllers and
  Pilots.
• As a result, the GREPECAS concluded that
  structural measures needed to be taken in order
  to resolve phraseology deficiencies

52
Proposed Solution

• Recognizing that the absence of an adequate
  Quality Assurance Organization in ATS facilities
  in the CAR/SAM Regions could have significant
  adverse effects on the safety of international
  civil aviation
• the ICAO NACC Office developed the ATS Quality
  Assurance Programme
• presented a Workshop Project for the
  implementation of ATS Quality Assurance
  Programmes to GEASA/1

53
Proposed Solution

• Provide States/Territories/International
  Organizations with the necessary tools to verify
  and control the quality of their ATS services
  based on Annex 11, PANS/ATM Doc. 4444 and the
  CAR/SAM Regional Guidance Material on Air Traffic
  Services Quality Assurance Programmes
• Enhance knowledge and skills of Air Traffic
  Controllers and pilots in States/Territories/Inter
  national Organizations so as to improve the use
  of approved Aeronautical Phraseology and the
  provision of Air Traffic Services

54
Proposed Solution

• Minimize ATS incidents and accidents related to
  the improper use of approved Aeronautical
  Phraseology through ATS Quality Assurance
  Programmes and educational events as part of the
  GREPECAS Work Programme.
