Q

What is the purpose of the ICAO safety Management SARPs?

A

To provide the high-level requirements that the States and services providers must implement to fulfil their safety management responsibilities related to, or in direct support of, the safety operation of aircraft.

Q

What are examples of Safety performance targets?

A
  • Reduction in fatal airline accidents
  • Reduction in serious incidents,
  • reduction in runway incursion/excursion events,
  • reduction in ground-collision events,
  • number of inspections completed quarterly
20
Q

What are safety performance indicators?

A

a measure of the safety performance of of an aviation organisation, components of a Member State safety program, or an operator/service provider’s SMS. Safety indicators therefore will differ between different segments of the aviation industry, such as aircraft operators, aerodrome operators and air traffic service providers.

21
Q

What are examples of safety performance indicators?

A
  • Fatal accidents
  • Serious incidents,
  • Runway excursion
  • ground collision events
  • development/absence of primary aviation legislation
  • operating regulations
22
Q

With an SMS who is it important to involve?

A

all internal and external aviation system stakeholders who have a potential impact on the organisation’s safety performance.

23
Q

What are some examples of stakeholders?

A

Aviation professionals •
- Aviation regulatory and administrative authorities

  • Industry trade associations
  • Professional associations and federations
  • International aviation organisations
  • Subcontractors or principals of a service provider
  • The flying public
24

32
Q

What are the two fundamentals of safety risk management?

A
  1. identifying hazards

2 Assessing risk and mitigating their potential to cause harm.

33
Q

What is hazard identification?

A

identification: Systematic identification of hazards that exist within the context of the delivery of products and services

34
Q

What is a hazard?

A

It’s defined as “a present condition, event, object or circumstances that could lead to or contribute to an unplanned or undesired event
such as an accident

35
Q

What is the definition of a risk?

A

defined as “the future impact of a hazard that is not controlled or eliminated. It can be viewed as future uncertainty created by the hazard.

36
Q

What are the stages of the swiss cheese model?

A

Organization ( Management decision and organizational processes), Workplace ( Working condition) People (errors and violations), and defences ( technology, training and regulations)

37
Q

What are the three methods of Safety risk management?

A

Reactive, Proactive and Predictive

38
Q

What is a reactive method of safety risk management?

A

The analysis of past outcomes or events. Then Hazard identification through investigation of safety occurrences.
Incidents and accidents are clear indications of system deficiencies and therefore can be used to determine the hazards that either contributed to the event or are latent

39
Q

What is proactive method?

A

The analysis of existing or real-time situations, which is the primary job of the safety assurance function with
its audits, evaluations, employee reporting and associated analysis and assessment processes. This involves actively seeking hazards in the existing processes

40
Q

What is the predictive method of safety risk management?

A

Data gathering in order to identify possible negative future outcomes or events, analysing system
processes and the environment to identify potential future hazards and initiating mitigating actions

41
Q

What is the Hazard documentation and follow up for the risk management process?

A

Collect, assess, mitigate and disseminate.

42
Q

What is the meaning when a risk consequence is Catastrophic?

A

There is a large amount of equipment destroyed and multiple deaths.

43
Q

What is the meaning when a risk consequence is Hazardous?

A

There will be a large reduction in safety margins, Physical distress or workload. With high possibility of serious injury or major equipment damage.

44
Q

What is the meaning when a risk consequence is Major?

A

There will be a significate reduction in safety margins, Physical distress or workload. With a serious incidents and injury to people.

45
Q

What is the meaning when a risk consequence is Minor?

A

The consequence will be nuisance, operating limitations, use of emergency procedures and minor incidents.

46
Q

What is the meaning when a risk consequence is Negligible?

A

There will be few consequences.
