SKYclips (new) SKYclips are a growing collection of short animations of around 2 minutes duration which focus on a single safety topic in aviation. Human Factors Integration in ATM System Design In aviation, Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E) is traditionally closely linked to safety. The way safety is understood in the discipline of HF/E determines how HF/E approaches system design.

Description The Single European Sky is an European initiative aimed to enhance safety and efficiency of air transport in Europe by restructuring European airspace as a function of air traffic flows and by reducing the fragmentation of the air traffic management in Europe. The first legislative package (SES I) adopted in 2004 comprises four basic regulations, which reinforce safety and foster the restructuring of European airspace and air navigation services. The regulations provide the framework for the creation of additional capacity and for improved efficiency and interoperability of ATM system in Europe. The second legislative package (SES II) adopted in 2009 comprises two regulations aimed at improving the performance of the European aviation system and extending EASA remit to airports, Air Traffic Management and Air Navigation Services Read the lead article about the Single European Sky.

Description The Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) was founded in 1997 with a goal to reduce the commercial aviation fatality risk in the United States by 80 percent by 2007. To achieve this ambitious goal, the CAST developed and started implementing a comprehensive Safety Enhancement Plan. By 2007, CAST was able to report that, by implementing the most promising safety enhancements, the fatality rate of commercial air travel in the United States was reduced by 83 percent. CAST continues to develop, evaluate and add Safety Enhancements to the CAST Plan for continuing fatality risk reduction. CAST Safety Enhancement Plan provides access to the description of each Safety Enhancement and the related other resources. In addition, there are a number of Safety Enhancements Reserved for Future Implementation (SERFIs) Public versions of the CAST Reports that generated these Safety Enhancements will be posted as they become available.

What's New Industry Day in Paris, France On October 18, 2022, the SM ICG hosted Industry Day in Paris, France. Industry Day marks a unique opportunity for aviation service providers in France to hear directly from a group of authorities from across the world, and for those authorities to receive feedback on SM ICG products. The full day session was divided into two parts—Safety Management Systems (SMS) as a Tool to Overcome Crises and Innovative Approaches to SMS after the COVID Crisis. Read more Change Management at the State Level This document focuses on the need for, and benefits of, change management and the type of changes commonly seen at the State level from the perspective of Aviation Regulatory Authorities. This document also includes a typical change management process, tools, and guidance, and provides examples to illustrate the change management process. Read more Safety Manager's Role in SMS The objective of this document is to provide guidance on the roles and responsibilities of the Safety Manager; associated knowledge, skills, and attitudes; examples of do and don'ts; considerations on the scalability of the Safety Manager tasks based on the size and complexity of the organization; and training syllabus for consideration. Read more SM ICG Description The Safety Management International Collaboration Group (SM ICG) was founded by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) and is a joint cooperation between many regulatory authorities for the purpose of promoting a common understanding of safety management and Safety Management System (SMS)/State Safety Program (SSP) principles and requirements, facilitating their implementation across the international aviation community. The current core membership of the SM ICG includes the Aviation Safety and Security Agency (AESA) of Spain, the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) of Brazil, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Netherlands (CAA NL), the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAA NZ), the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong (CAD HK), the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia, the Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC) in France, the Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile (ENAC) in Italy, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) of Switzerland, the Dominican Republic Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC), the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (TRAFICOM), the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB), the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aviation Safety Organization, Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), United Arab Emirates General Civil Aviation Authority (UAE GCAA), and the Civil Aviation Authority of United Kingdom (UK CAA).
