Areas for simplification

• Accident/serious incidents for a/c over 2250 kg
  to ICAO (and from there to EASA)
• Requires States to follow Annex 13
• Not all do, or do in full, or do in time
• Exchange of occurrence/incident/accident data in
  Europe
• Presently from State to State and State to
  Commission (text of the Directive)
• Better done via central data base
• Being established
• See ECCAIRS SC report

Considerations

• Regional Reporting (suggested by ICAO)
• Data in Europe consolidated, and
• Consolidated data provided to ICAO
• Not possible legalities
• Multiple reporting
• To EC / ICAO / States
• No significant problem, if done electronically

Ways to report

• ICAO
• E4F files (Notification, Preliminary/Data
  Reports), but also conventional (fax, paper)
• Final Reports (pdf, word etc)
• EASA (EC)
• E4F files
• ECAC
• Excel (derived from ECCAIRS data base)
• EUROCONTROL
• Excel (derived from ECCAIRS data base)
