Achieve a significant decrease in accident rates, especially in Regions where these remain abnormally high

4. GLOBAL AVIATION SAFETY PLAN (GASP)
enhance the identification of all elements that can impair safety, such as shortcomings and deficiencies, lack of compliance with ICAO SARPs and recommend corrective actions
Identify repetitive causes for accidents on a world-wide and a regional basis and recommend specific corrective actions

5. GLOBAL AVIATION SAFETY PLAN (GASP)
Enhance Contracting States or groups of States cooperation with ICAO in order to improve ICAO’s own capability to compile, assess and disseminate safety related information

6. GLOBAL AVIATION SAFETY PLAN (GASP)
ELEMENTS
Carry out an annual review of causal factors for accidents
Identify disparities in accident rates between Regions
Update, on a yearly basis, a table of safety related tasks aimed at improving safety

7. GLOBAL AVIATION SAFETY PLAN (GASP)
ELEMENTS (cont)
Review and improve existing safety database systems
Address shortcomings and deficiencies identified in the Air Navigation field
Introduce improvements to safety identified by the USOAP
Collaborate with States and industry to identify additional safety measures

8. CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT)
Action plan for the development of amendments to the SARPs. ICAO should:
Form a multi-disciplinary ANB Team
Determine goals and objectives
Publish ICAO press releases and use press contacts
Publish CFIT articles in the ICAO Journal

9. CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT)
Make presentations promoting CFIT prevention
Circulate State letters to keep States and international organizations informed and to request appropriate information, comments and actions
Develop proposals for amendments to SARPs

10. CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT)
Determine related TWP and non-TWP Tasks with CFIT and take appropriate action
Coordinate CFIT efforts with States, international organizations and air transport industry
Participate in the Industry Task Force

11. CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT)
Action plan for the development of amendments to the SARPs. States and international organizations should:
Review national regulations, policies and procedures and implement necessary improvements in accordance with ICAO GPWS SARPs
Review, develop and implement as applicable, operator policies, operational standards, procedures and training

12. CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT)
Review policies and procedures for certification and surveillance of operators and implement improvements as necessary
Review national airspace management plans, including approach and departure procedures, and implement improvements as necessary

13. CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN (CFIT)
Review national air traffic control facilities, services and procedures and implement improvements as necessary

14. INDUSTRY CFIT TASK FORCE
Four teams

15. INDUSTRY CFIT TASK FORCE
GOAL
To develop a safety action plan for FSF and its industry members that will be effective in reducing approach and landing and collision-with-terrain accidents in civil aviation

16. INDUSTRY CFIT TASK FORCE
Objectives
To examine multiple cause factors involved in approach and landing/CFIT accidents
To determine those factors whose elimination would have the greatest leverage for accident prevention

17. INDUSTRY CFIT TASK FORCE
To determine near-term and long-term means of controlling or eliminating those factors
To identify FSF and industry actions that can have the greatest and most timely effectiveness in reducing or eliminating approach and landing/CFIT accidents
To prepare an action plan for FSF and industry to accomplish these actions

28. SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES
Proposed Annex 11 provisions
States shall implement systematic and appropriate ATS safety management programmes to ensure that safety is maintained in the provision of ATS within airspaces and at aerodromes.”

29. SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES
Annex 11 proposed provisions
Recommendation: The acceptable level of safety and safety objectives applicable to the provision of ATS within airspaces and at aerodromes should be established by the State or States concerned. When applicable, safety levels and safety objectives should be established on the basis of regional air navigation agreement.

30. SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES
Annex 11 proposed provisions
Standard: An ATS safety programme shall, inter alia:
a) provide for regular monitoring and assessment of safety levels achieved;
b) identify potential hazards and determine the need for remedial action; and
c) ensure that remedial action necessary to maintain an acceptable level of safety is implemented.

31. SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES
Annex 11 proposed provisions
Standard: Any significant safety-related change to the ATC system, including the implementation of a reduced separation minimum or a new procedure, shall only be effected after a safety assessment has demonstrated that an acceptable level of safety will be met and users have been consulted. When appropriate a post-implementation monitoring programme shall be established to verify that the defined level of safety is met.
