Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme COSCAP South East Asia Immediate Objective 1 Priority High  The establishment of a dedicated forum/institution to facilitate dialogue and exchange of information and experience on aviation safety matters among COSCAP-SEA members and promote solutions to common problems as well as provide a vehicle for the harmonization of policies, regulations and procedures related to aviation safety oversight.  The Steering Committee constitutes this forum and will continue to identify the issues related to safety oversight which can effectively be addressed on a regional basis and establish an agenda for dealing with those issues. March th COSCAP-SEA SCM 5

Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme COSCAP South East Asia Immediate Objective 1 Priority Low  Establish an action plan for the regional harmonization of regulations, policies and procedures related to the surveillance, certification and supervision of operators, manufacturers, and maintenance facilities.  As discussed at the 16 th SCM, this is a major initiative that the COSCAP-SEA is not resourced for. COSCAP-SEA will continue to assist in the development of model regulations and guidance material for new initiatives on an as needed basis. March th COSCAP-SEA SCM 6

Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme COSCAP South East Asia Immediate Objective 1  Enable South East Asia Regional Aviation Safety Team (SEARAST) to continue to address aviation safety issues and develop safety enhancement (interventions) in areas of focus approved by the Steering Committee.  An update of SEARAST activity is contained in IP1 March th COSCAP-SEA SCM 7

Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme COSCAP South East Asia Immediate Objective 2 Priority Medium  Ensuring a coordinated, cost-effective approach for obtaining technical assistance in the field of aviation safety oversight, by minimizing duplication of efforts and allowing the sharing of available resources to the maximum extent.  Activities;  Using all available information, including USOAP audit reports, update data concerning specific safety deficiencies within Member Administrations.  Evaluate existing and proposed safety-related technical assistance programmes within the South East Asia area to identify objectives, activities and resources March th COSCAP-SEA SCM 8

Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme COSCAP South East Asia Immediate Objective 2 Priority Medium  Merge the information acquired in the course of the preceding activities and construct a plan which takes into account all available and pending resources both within and outside of COSCAP-SEA  Establish a resource library which contains in a central location a wide variety of electronic and hard copy material (e.g., training programmes, regulatory guidance manuals, and aviation laws and regulations) which are freely available from governments and from industry. March th COSCAP-SEA SCM 9

Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme COSCAP South East Asia Immediate Objective 2 Priority Medium COSCAP-SEA continues to work closely with the other COSCAP’s, Authorities and donors to reduce duplication, develop suitable documents, and locate documents that can be readily adapted by Member States.
