Global Aviation Safety Road Map
Global Aviation Safety Road Map
Description
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) global aviation safety roadmap was previously included in the ICAO Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) but is now contained a stand-along manual -- Global Aviation Safety Roadmap (Doc 10161).
The road map serves as an action plan to assist the aviation community in developing regional aviation safety plans (RASPs) and national aviation safety plans (NASPs), in line with the GASP goals, through a structured, common frame of reference for all relevant stakeholders. The global aviation safety road map outlines specific safety enhancement initiatives (SEIs) associated with the GASP goals and targets, as well as the global high-risk categories of occurrences (G-HRCs).
Each SEI includes a set of actions that stakeholders may use to develop and implement specific action plans. Regions and States, in collaboration with industry, should use the roadmap to support or complement, as applicable, regional and national safety management activities and develop specific SEIs to support the strategy presented in their RASPs and NASPs, respectively. The use of the global aviation safety roadmap as the basis for RASPs and NASPs enhances coordination, thus reducing inconsistencies and duplication of effort.
The road map initially was developed in 2006 for ICAO by the Industry Safety Strategy Group which included International Air Transport Association (IATA), Airbus, Airports Council International (ACI), Boeing, Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO), International Federation of Air Pilots’ Associations (IFALPA) and Flight Safety Foundation (FSF).
The European Strategic Safety Initiative fitted naturally within this safety roadmap until its closure in 2016, as it provided a mechanism for coordinating safety initiatives within Europe and between Europe and the rest of the world, seeking for global alignment and minimising duplication of efforts across stakeholders. Both fit well, and have a similar ten to fifteen years temporal horizon.
