Evgeny A. Gorbunov, General Director, Union of Aviation Industrialists

2. Conception of safety
Safety is the notion when the risk of causing harm to a person or property is reduced and supported at acceptable or lower level due to continuous process of danger and risk management

3. It is necessary to have Flight Safety Management System
ICAO requirements
ICAO differentiates between Flight Safety Maintenance Program and Flight Safety Management System:
State Flight Safety Program is a complex of measures and regulations aimed to increase flight safety level
It is necessary to have Flight Safety Management System
for complex carrying out of measures and regulations presented in State Flight Safety Program

4. Flight Safety Management System (FSMS)
Organized approach to safety management covering particularly organization structures,responsibility, policy and procedures
Regulated organizations are responsible for carrying out of FSMS.
States are responsible for adoption and control over FSMS of regulated organizations

5. General requirements of ICAO to the states and maintenance suppliers
Requirements to the states
ICAO standards and recommended practices (SARPS)
Availability of State Flight Safety Maintenance Program (complex of regulations and measures aimed to improve flight safety)
Complex of regulations and measures

Requirements to aircraft operators
Acceptable level of flight safety
Stated level of flight safety
Flight safety data
Complex of regulations and measures
Requirements to maintenance suppliers
Flight Safety Management System of maintenance suppliers
Acceptable level of flight safety

6. Extract from 101 Amendment defines flight safety risks;
5.3 Starting from November, 14, 2013 the states obligate within their Flight Safety Program organizations responsible for type design or aircraft manufacturing to adopt acceptable Flight Safety Management System, which at least:
defines flight safety risks;
provides adoption of corrective actions necessary to support coordinate level of flight safety;
Foresees constant carrying out of monitoring and regular estimation of flight safety level;
Is aimed at constant improvement of general efficiency of Flight Safety Management System;
Notice. Instructive material concerning definition of flight safety level is provided in ICAO Safety Management Manual (Doc 9859)

7. Extract from 101 Amendment
Starting from November, 14, 2013 the Flight Safety Management System distinctly defines the hierarchy of responsibility within the whole organization in charge of type design or aircraft manufacturing including direct responsibility top management for flight safety.
Note. The term “maintenance supplier” implies any organization providing aviation services. This term comprise certified educational organizations, subject to risk factors while providing their services; aircraft operators; certified organizations of technical maintenance; organizations responsible for type design and (or) of assembly of aircraft; maintenance suppliers of air traffic and certified airdromes.

8. State Flight Safety Program for civil aircrafts in Russia
May, 6th, The Government of Russian Federation adopted State Flight Safety Program for civil aircrafts.
Ministry of transport of Russia was made responsible within determined sphere of activity of Russia’s obligations issued from the Convention on International Civil Aviation, to provide adoption and unified application of requirements in flight safety sphere provided by standards and recommended practices of ICAO within the territory of Russian Federation.

9. Main directions of realization of the Program
The Program comprises six directions, combining a complex of regulations and measures of different significance depending on level of development of any given part of State Flight Safety Program.
Members of the System annually organize actions in all the directions on the federal level, including working out of departmental and Federal Target Programs , providing the carrying out of specific most efficient actions to improve flight safety in existing conditions of financing.
As a whole carrying out of these actions will aid to reach the set target.

11. State Flight Safety Program is unified complex of regulations and activities aimed at improvement of flight safety level
According to international standards stated in Annex 1, 6,8,11, 13 and 14, State Flight Safety program is administrative system of flight safety management in the state.
State obligations and responsibility for flight safety in accordance with the standards stated above provide that the state defines, sets document requirements, obligations and responsibility for the adoption and carrying out of State Flight Safety Program. This provides working out of instructions on planning, management, working out, control and constant improvement of State Flight Safety Program in accordance with state targets within flight safety sphere.
Moreover, this also provides exact definition of resource allocation order necessary for realization of State Flight Safety Program.
