EASA SIB

A

is a communication tool issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to provide safety-related information, recommendations, and guidance to the aviation industry. Unlike an Airworthiness Directive (AD), an SIB is not mandatory, but it highlights important safety concerns or best practices to help operators, authorities, and organizations enhance aviation safety.

85
Q

EU 376/2014 Reporting: Who must report?

A

Who Must Report?

The regulation applies to individuals and organizations in the aviation sector, including:
* Flight Crew
* Air Traffic Controllers
* Aircraft Maintenance Engineers
* Cabin Crew
* Aerodrome Operators
* Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs)
* Design and Production Organizations

86
Q

EASA reporting

A

The regulation requires reporting of occurrences that could compromise aviation safety, including but not limited to:
1. Aircraft Operation:
* Engine failure or malfunctions.
* Unstable approaches or runway excursions.
* Loss of control or near collisions.
2. Air Traffic Services (ATS):
* Airspace infringements.
* Conflicts or separation minima infringements.

87
Q

EU 2015/1018 MOR

A

Establishes a common, EU-wide list of occurrences that must be reported by organizations and individuals in the aviation sector.

88
Q

EU 2015/1018 MOR: What to report?

A

Key Categories of Reportable Occurrences

  1. Aircraft Operations

Occurrences involving:
* Aircraft performance:
* Significant deviations from planned or expected performance.
* Flight crew operations:
* Crew incapacitation or significant fatigue.
* Incorrect management of fuel or weight.
* Navigation and collision risks:
* Near collisions or airspace infringements.
* Runway events:
* Runway incursions or excursions.
* Emergency situations:
* Forced landings or use of emergency equipment.

  1. Technical Systems and Maintenance

Occurrences related to:
* Structural integrity:
* Cracks, failures, or deformation.
* Engine and systems:
* Fire, smoke, or failures affecting safety.
* Maintenance issues:
* Use of incorrect components or fluids
