2RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1

ICAO Strategies

• SARP and Guidance Material Amendments, GASP, SSP, SMS, RASG, USOAP-CMA –Responsibilities for RSOOs are increasing–RSOOs have significant resource constraints–RSOOs need to cooperate more and share

technical resources and experience

Safety Oversight System

4RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1

Safety Oversight System

• Resources required to Establish (and then maintain) the safety oversight system are extensive even for States/RSOOs with limited aviation activity

• Resources remaining to Implement the system are often lacking

• Correlation between accident rates and lack of effective implementation for CE 6,7, (Implement) is very strong

• One Solution - move resources from Establish to Implement

5RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1

RSOO Cooperative Network

• RSOOs could establish collaborative network for sharing outputs/best practices

• Especially important for “new” or major changes to ICAO requirements

• Example – Amendment to Annex 6 introduced Foreign Air Operator requirements and resulted in a major revision to ICAO DOC 9355 – Manual of Procedures for Operations Inspection, Certification and Surveillance (new program)

6RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1

RSOO Cooperative Network- Example

• Establish State Foreign Air Operator (FAO) Requirements– Collaboration between ICAO, Asia Pacific

COSCAPs, EASA, FAA, Singapore• Outputs–Model regulation–FAO Validation and Surveillance Handbook–FAO Training Course

7RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1

Possible ICAO Role

• Assess the resource impacts of all ICAO outputs on safety oversight system

• Where the resource impact is significant and need is great - Identify champion(s) (RSOO or State) to develop model that can be readily adapted to implement the ICAO requirement

• Communicate with concerned stakeholders• Facilitate and ensure timely delivery of

outputs
