European Aviation Safety AgencyEASA

• In Operation from Autumn 2003
• Member EU Members plus Associate Members
• Responsibilities
• Regulations for
• Airworthiness and
• Maintenance,
• Later (2005?) for Operations and Licensing
• Type Certification of Products
• Standardisation

7
JSSI

• Strategy to prioritise JAA Regulatory and
  Research Activities, without excluding other
  interventions
• Launched in 1998
• Develop a consistent and coherent work programme
• Supported by structured methods and processes
  two complementary approaches
• An Historic one and a Predictive one

8
JAAs Aim for Safety

• The JAA aim at continuous improvements of its
  effective safety system leading to further
  reductions of the annual number of accidents and
  the annual number of fatalities irrespective of
  the growth of air traffic.

9
Historic Approach

• Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT)
• Approach and Landing
• Loss of Control
• Occupant Safety and Survivability
• Design related
• Runway Safety
• Weather
• common with CAST

10
Predictive Approach

• Why a predictive approach?
• Future may not be a direct extrapolation of the
  past Changes may modify assumptions and
  introduce new risks
• Many accidents are related to situations not
  envisaged by the assumptions made when designing
• Focused Methodology
• Changes Hazards
  Interventions.
• Hazards both inherent and resulting from
  interactions
• The Future Aviation Safety Team (FAST)

11
Runway Incursion

• In the beginning of JSSI Runway Incursion was not
  considered
• In 2000 JSSI decided to add Runway Incursion as a
  focus area
• CAST Runway Incursion JSAT (report August 2000)
• Final position EUROCONTROL in April 2000
• Better Reporting System needed
• More European Data needed
• Preliminary European Analysis showed safety
  problems

12
Runway Incursion

• JAA proposed a Joint activity of JSSI, ICAO,
  Airports, Airport Regulators and EUROCONTROL
• First meeting 19 July 2001
• EUROCONTROL took the chair

13
Runway Incursion

• The Group shall perform two Tasks in parallel
• Evaluate the report prepared by the US Commercial
  Aviation Safety Team
• Gather further data on runways incursion (in
  Europe)

14
Runway Incursionwas changed toRunway Safety
15
Runway Safety

• JOINT Task Force of JAA, EUROCONTROL, ICAO-Europe
  and GASR
• Safety letter published
• Data Gathering
• Anonymous Questionnaires sent first to pilots
  and afterwards revised version to Air Traffic
  Controllers.
• Interviews started with selected airports and
  airlines
• Data Banks from States and Service Providers
• Development of Interventions
• 7 areas such as Communications situational
  awareness

16
Future Work

• Task Force must continue with high pace
• There is only a way forward
• We must ensure tangible results
• CAST (US) already preceded
• Review and possible Validation of CAST results
• JAA endorses the present work of the TF
• TF should cooperate with CAST and others (PAAST)

17
JAA/JSSI fully supports the work of the Runway
Safety TF
