Introduction

SSP and CMA are two separate yet interrelated activities

Both are based on the use of safety risk management (SRM) and safety assurance (SA) principles

SSP – set of regulations and activities for the management of safety by a State

Introduction

CMA provides a continuous safety assessment process

SSP – a management system implemented by States

CMA – implemented and managed by ICAO

Discussion

USOAP objective – promote global aviation safety through auditing member States

SSP objective – to effectively manage safety through the surveillance of aviation system

Discussion

SSP complements prescriptive regulatory system with process and procedures which systematically identify deficiencies, assess safety risks and implement mitigation strategies

CMA allows ICAO to assess how well a State performs its safety oversight function

The link between SSP and CMA

Under SSP, States continuously assess the level of safety and monitor safety metrics to detect deficiencies

Under CMA, ICAO (USOAP) will broaden compliance audits to incorporate a safety risk approach by receiving data from variety of sources

The link between SSP and CMA

SSP will generate increasing amounts of safety data

Integrated analysis of safety data by CMA and SSP is essential in identifying factors having potential to affect safety

The link between SSP and CMA

CMA will use the data acquired by SSP to effectively focus its activity in response to safety issues and detected deficiencies

Analysis of CMA data will support the SSP safety assurance

SSP and CMA link will be strengthened through the use of integrated data resources

The link between SSP and CMA

Commonalities of SSP and CMA:

· Basic safety management principles – SRM and SA

· Safety data-based decision making

· Use of safety regulations, integrating safety risk and administrative control

· Compliance-based and performance based oversight

The link between SSP and CMA

Commonalities of SSP and CMA:

· Safety assurance – based oversight and mitigation strategies

· CMA provides ICAO with a State safety oversight assessment and SSP provides assurance to States regarding safety management capabilities of their service providers

ICAOEUR/NAT Office

13ICAO EUR HLSC Preparatory Seminar

Conclusion

Effective implementation of SSP by States is based upon safety management principles and cannot be successful unless safety data is available to support SRM and SA

Safety data is needed for the development of regulations as safety risk controls

ICAOEUR/NAT Office

14ICAO EUR HLSC Preparatory Seminar

Conclusion

As both CMA and SSP evolve over time, the flow of safety data generated by SSP will be increased

The integrated analysis of data generated by SSP and CMA will strengthen the SSP/CMA link and will bring significant benefits in the conduct of safety oversight

Conclusion

The Conference will be invited:

· Note the discussion· Note the link between SSP and CMA· Agree that the effective implementation of

SSP and efficiencies gained in CMA cannot be achieved unless larger-scale data acquisition, analysis and exchange be developed by States and ICAO

· Encourage internal action by States with the ICAO support to ensure the development of the above capabilities
