24. The system includes nowadays all 27 EU Member States + 4 EFTA States (Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein and Switzerland)
25. 7 Western Balkan countries are in the process of joining the system 15 Cyprus 2011
26. Cyprus 2011 16 Advantages of an Agency Legally binding rules Higher common safety standards “level playing field” Type-certificates valid across EU One European Counterpart to the FAA
27. Cyprus 2011 17 Systematic safety Total system approach is based on the fact that the aviation system components – products, operators, crews, aerodromes, ATM, ANS, on the ground or in the air - are part of a single network
28. Cyprus 2011 18 Compliance based / Prescriptive regulation Binding standards set. Inspections check. Pro – easy to understand Con – absolute and inflexible Example: EU OPS 1.125 Documents to be carried (a) An operator shall ensure that the following documents or copies thereof are carried on each flight:…
29. 09/05/2011 Cyprus 2011 19 Objective based regulation Objective, goal or target is set. Advisory material provided. Demonstrations needed. Pro – greater flexibility Con – continued achievement not guaranteed Example: CS 25.1309 (b) The aeroplane systems and associated components, considered separately and in relation to other systems, must be designed so that - (1) Any catastrophic failure condition (i) is extremely improbable; ……………
30. 09/05/2011 Cyprus 2011 20 Performance based regulation A measurable level of performance is regularly reviewed. Performance is established, maintained or improved. Pro – continuous monitoring and more transparency Con - requires intelligent definition and application Example: Commission Regulation (EU) 691/2010 on the performance scheme for air navigation services and network functions defines safety key performance indicators
31. Cyprus 2011 21 The way forward Need for change Growth Dynamic industry Complexity and interconnection Lessons learned from safety data analysis Some prescription will remain Objectives good for design requirements

LYRAKIDES -Supervisor Air Traffic Controller -Transport & Communications Counsellor of Cyprus in EU -IFATCA ex-EVP EUROPE, 2002-2006 190
284. Aviation Safety Statements Air transport is one of the safest modes of travel. It is also the fastest growing. (4.1 accidents/million departures) Safety -cannot be compromised and must be enhanced with increased traffic levels. Aviation accidents rarely result from a single failure but rather from a combination of events. Safety can never be taken for granted - constant effort is needed to maintain its high level in the changing operational and economic context of the global air transport industry. The main purpose of ATM services is to ensure that airplanes depart, fly and land safely, at a reasonable cost.
285. OVERVIEW Introduction /Aviation Safety Statements Global ATM Safety Regulation- Current situation/ IFATCA Policy Safety Regulation Approaches General View- Trends inAir Traffic Management Major Aviation Stakeholders European ATM Regulation/ATCOs perspective Think Performance Regulation in ATM- Case Study: EUROPE 1st pillar- Regulating performance SES Safety PIs- ATCOS views, suggestions Safety Culture/Just Culture Budapest Conference- 3-4 March 2011 4th pillar- Human factor Concluding remarks 192
286. Global ATM Safety Regulation- Current situation 3 basic layers of safety regulation: 1. International (Global) regulatory arrangements and requirements, established and promulgated by ICAO (SARPS, Safety Management, USOAP) 2. Regional regulatory arrangements and requirements (EU, EASA, SES II) 3. National regulatory arrangements and requirements (flexibility,inconsistency) 193 ICAO ATCOS (IFATCA) believe that: safety standards must be clearly defined at an international level (ICAO) and must be adopted on a regional basis.
287. Global ATM Safety Regulation-IFATCA POLICY 194 IFATCA supports the ultimate objective of achieving global harmonization in safety regulation. IFATCA believes that sufficient resources should be directed towards establishing robust and independent safety regulation at national, regional and global levels to encompass ATM equipment, procedures and personnel.
288. Safety Regulation Approaches 195 Objective eg. ICAO requirements for Safety Management Prescriptive Technical systems (eg. data link) Flexible solutions but inconsistency in implementation
289. General View- Trends inAir Traffic Management 196 move from: Government managed public service Commercialized- privatized environment ATCOS believe that :Safety is the absolute priority and that it takes precedence over every aspect of the current and future ATM system.

291. IFATCA is a major stakeholder in the ATM system and is committed to the inclusion of the controllers' viewpoint in all future developments of the ATM system. IFATCA also recognizes the importance of all parties working together to achieve the common objective of increasing capacity without compromising safety standards. 198 MAJOR AVIATION STAKEHOLDERS
292. European ATM Regulation ATM safety regulation has been developed considerably in the last 10 years. EUROCONTROL Safety Regulatory Requirements (ESARRS) ………framework for ATM SAFETY EC Single European Sky legislation ..aiming at harmonizing the arrangements across Europe and requiring the establishment of national safety regulatory bodies: National Supervisory Authorities (NSAs) 199
293. Think Performance Regulation in ATM- Case Study: EUROPESES II- Single European Sky – 5 pillarsRegulation (EC) No 1070/2009 – Improvement of the performance and sustainability of the European aviation system 200 improving safety by a factor of 10 691/2010
294. SES II- Single EuropeanSky-ATCOs’ perspective The view of IFATCA and the ATCOS family, is that the extension of EASA competency to ANS and Airports will reinforce the regulation, oversight and monitoring of ANS safety, and has a central role in the proposed approach to safety performance under the performance scheme. IFATCA has embraced the work EASA is carrying out and wishes to have robust and relevant rulemaking and regulation, which should be less influenced by political interest, but be more respectful of the EU rules and regulations for EASA . ATCOS believe that the technology pillar, SESAR, will definitely give new advanced tools to ATCOs, that will provide the new generation of ATM technologies and procedures. The new SESAR operational concept aims at moving from today's airspace based trajectories to the time based operations ("4-D trajectories"). 201
295. Regulation (EC) No 1070/2009 – Improvement of the performance and sustainability of the European aviation system The Member States, acting in accordance with their national legislation, shall establish consultation mechanisms for appropriate involvement of stakeholders, including professional staff representative bodies, in the implementation of the single European sky. Major principle: The human factor plays a key role in ensuring the change process 202
296. 1st pillar- Regulating performance Scheme Main features: Definition of Key Performance Areas (KPAs)- (safety, capacity, environment, cost-efficiency) Definition of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Defn of pan-european targets associated with the KPIs Requirement to produce national (or FAB) Performance Plans (PP) – NSAs obligation Adoption of binding PP by MS and acceptance by EC Introduction of reference periods (RPS) to assess and review results Setting up of alert thresholds and Sanctions if targets are not met 203 RP1:2012-14 RP2:2015-19
298. …../…1st pillar- Regulating performance Scheme Key Performance Areas (KPAs)- Safety 17 out of 29 states participating in the SES Regulation (27 EU MS plus Norway, Switzerland), have indicated that they will participate to the Safety KPA by setting some national targets. The so-called E3 (Eurocontrol, European Union and EASA) have worked to publish some metrics for KPIs for Safety. The future IR will take the form of an amendment of Regulation 691/2010. The ICAO State Safety Programme and SMS framework will be used to draft the proposal. 205
299. …../…1st pillar- Regulating performance Scheme ……./…Key Performance Areas (KPAs)- Safety The SMS will be complemented by Management Objectives of ICAO. The EC distinguish between the Service Provision Level and the State Management Level. The State’s level assessment will be verified by EASA standardisation inspections. Occurrence Severity Classification: Just Culture will be measured (including the lack of Just Culture). Concept document will be presented in a stakeholder workshop for NSAs on 13 May and wider stakeholder workshop on 17 June. Adoption in SSC 44 on 28 September 2011. 206
300. SES Safety Performance Indicators – ATCOS’ views IFATCA does understand the necessity for government to act as a control mechanism of commercialized ANSPs. But are these PIs a true measurement of the ATM system from the ATCO's perspective? Arguably not. Many factors beyond the control of any individual ATCO, or ATC Centre, that will influence the outcome of these measurements: equipment capability, capacity and serviceability, military activity, traffic priorities, resourcing, training, airspace design, and over-demand etc. Different results if measured at a system level, national level, district level or unit / facility level. ATCOs must be extremely careful where these results are broken down further to sector, console or individual ATCO level. 207
301. …/..SES Safety Performance Indicators – ATCOS’ views "quantitative" rather than "qualitative“ PIs "Safety" PIs tend to measure: rates of occurrences per distance flown or numbers of flights per volume etc. They measure "reported events" after the fact. But : do they measure "preventative" actions by the ATCO's? Can they measure professionalism, caution and separation assurance? Whilst the PIs may "infer" the success of these factors by low occurrence rates, are these successes then reflected "negatively" in the "efficiency", "accessibility "and "cost effectiveness" PIs? 208
302. SES Safety Performance Indicators – ATCOS’ views/ suggestions IFATCA concludes that PIs should not be read as being totally indicative of ATC performance from an individual, sector or unit perspective. Indeed most of the PIs as currently used have little direct relevance to the operational ATCO. So far, IFATCA is not aware of PIs that accurately measure the operational performance of an ANSP, although such PIs have been suggested for development. Concerning safety issues, these could include: number of occurrence reports received vs. investigated; number of recommendations from investigations made/accepted/implemented; etc. 209
303. SES Safety Performance Indicators – IFATCA policy Global metrics for the performance of the ATM System be developed through ICAO processes as soon as possible. Controller expertise must be used: in the establishment and settings of metrics that measure the performance of the ATM System in establishing and reviewing models used for determining performance of the ATM System to ensure that the models accurately reflect how the ATM system functions. in the interpretation of data used to assess the performance of the Air Traffic Management System to ensure that data is not misleading because it is incomplete or incorrectly applied. Important that Member Association’s of IFATCA: can understand the logic, the targets and the possible impact of these new features in their daily operational work. should get involved in the consultation process with regard to the target setting process which is currently ongoing. 210
304. The “Just culture” concept One of the objectives of a “just culture” environment is to institutionalise the improved collaboration between aviation safety and judicial authorities. The following description of “just culture” has been developed in Europe: A culture in which front line operators or others (pilots, air traffic controllers, electronic engineers, etc.) are not punished for actions, omissions or decisions taken by them that are commensurate with their experience and training, but where gross negligence, wilful violations and destructive acts are not tolerated” “Just Culture” is supported by ICAO (Safety Culture), EUROCONTROL, EU, STAFF ORGANISATIONS, etc. DO NOT SHOOT THE MESSENGER 211
305. Budapest Conference- 3-4 March 2011 Implementing SES- The Human Factor VP S Kallas: “ATM needs to go beyond just the control of aircraft… the social dialogue is being modernized through the establishment by the Cion of a dedicated group of experts to bring the “human factor” to life!!!! …..Here is one idea to start off the reflection: is it possible that we think already of setting up some ad hoc arrangements to improve mobility of controllers? P Griffiths-PRB: “Human factor pillar must address social dialogue, which is expressing discontent and a break down in service. Change management cannot be done at the expense of a vital section of the community. However, I will make this clear from the start, it does not mean paying these sections that hold the community to ransom more it means making sure that they are involved and buy into the change management programmes” 212
306. Budapest Conference- 3-4 March 2011 Implementing SES- The Human Factor Many view the voiced concerns of controllers as being barriers to progress. This view point is unfounded as controllers accept the fact that the advanced technologies can bring benefits to the way that they control air traffic and they are positive in change management programs, as long as these advances take place in a co-operative manner in the form of consultation with the end users who have the operational knowledge with which to turn these capabilities of technology into a service. 213
307. …../…Budapest Conference- 3-4 March 2011 Implementing SES- The Human Factor P Goudou-EASA: “…Human Factor is a key element of the safety of the European system. We have to raise safety awareness and make sure that the European pilots and Controllers are properly and regularly trained to avoid any mistakes having a possible fatal outcome. D McMillan- EUROCONTROL: Regulation should not be a system of restrictions….but rather it should be the heart of driving forward improvements-making them happen. It should be a help, not a hindrance. It needs to be fit for purpose. 214 ATCOS: WE FULLY SUPPORT THIS STATEMENT
308. 4th pillar SES II- Human factor The Human factor plays a KEY ROLE in ensuring the change process in ATM Human role -Crucial -Core -Training -Investment Mobility -no force mobility -No social dumping Just culture Social dialogue and expert group 215 Need for all ACTORS to work together in a holistic approach, in order to achieve tangible, effective and realistic results for the benefit of Air Transport Industry around the world

313. Thursday, 28 April 2011 3rd Session How can training assist in implementing safety regulations? Chair: Erik Merckx, former Deputy Director for Safety, EUROCONTROLSupport:SarantisPoulimenakos-ICAO Expert
318. Current situation States need assistance to identify where to go for training Training plans not established Tasks and functions not clearly identified and established Training provided does not necessarily relate to the skills development Abuse of ICAO logo and name 225
319. Current situation ICAO solution ICAO Civil Aviation Training Policy ICAO Training Programmes 226
320. ICAO Civil Aviation Training Policy Published to all States Electronic Bulletin: EB 40/2010 Defines ICAO role in the provision of aviation safety training Addresses both safety and security related training Requires formal endorsement TRAINRO/2 227
321. ICAO Civil Aviation Training Policy Scope: applicable to all training provided by ICAO Bureaus, Regional Offices and training organizations issuing a certificate of completion or a certificate of achievement with an ICAO logo. TRAINRO/2 228
322. ICAO Training Programmes ICAO role: Establish a global quality training system ensuring that training prepared and provided are competency based and comply with ICAO provisions ICAO is not looking to compete with training providers It is recognized that some training can only be developed and conducted by ICAO (Ex: roll-out plans) TRAINRO/2 229
323. ICAO Training Programmes 3 main programmes: TRAINAIR PLUS Endorsement of training courses and programmes Assistance to States and industry by developing specific safety-related courses TRAINRO/2 230
324. 231 TRAINAIR PLUS Support NGAP initiatives Requires a prior assessment of the training centre Allow sharing of training materials between members Require training materials to be developed with the same standard: All Standards Training Packages (STPS) are competency-based
325. 232 TRAINAIR PLUS EB 45/2010 Redefine the programme: Self-sustained Categories of members Revised assessment methodology Revised requirements for members (development of STPs, fees, exchange of STPs)
327. 234 TRAINAIR PLUS With respect to training associated to the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme, ICAO launched a comprehensive training programme addressing the main posts: Course Developers (the 1st course started on 25 April in Incheon, Republic of Korea, we have an other one in May in cooperation with JAA TO, and others later this year). Instructors; and Training Managers.
328. Endorsement Programme Procedures being finalized by ICAO; ICAO will endorse at request of training organizations: Courses developed by ICAO and conducted by training organizations; Courses developed by training organizations. Not exclusively for The TRAINAIR PLUSMembers or Associate
329. ICAO Training courses In order to assist States in areas not addressed by training institutions ICAO is also developing and conducting some limited training courses: Dangerous Goods and use of Technical Instructions; SMS and SSP; USOAP audit courses for prospective auditors, subject mater experts, States employees (e-Learning); Courses related to roll-out plans; Seminar/workshops.
333. How can training assist in implementing safety regulations? Captain Mike HoltomFRAeS Olympic Air Flight Safety Foundation Conference April 2011 240
375. 256 Proactive Measures – Rigorous FDM Every monthly report requires responses from chief pilots and training post-holder: What actions are being taken to reduce the rates further? Responses are scrutinised by the Accountable Manager.
376. 257 SMS Safety Training 9.2.1 An Operator-Organization shall, as part of its safety promotion activities, develop and maintain a safety training programme that ensures that personnel are trained and competent to perform the SMS duties. 9.2.2 The scope of the safety training shall be appropriate to the individual’s involvement in the SMS. 9.2.3 The Accountable Executive shall receive safety awareness training regarding: 9.2.3.1 Safety policy and objectives; 9.2.3.2 SMS roles and responsibilities; 9.2.3.3 SMS standards; and 9.2.3.4 Safety assurance.
380. 261 Conclusions It is unwise to assume that managers (in all aspects of aviation) have the required management and organisation skills to implement safety regulations. The skill-set should be defined and a level of competency should be trained and checked periodically, in the same way that pilots have to demonstrate their skills. Only the Accountable Manager and Post-holders have to be acceptable to the national CAA, and that is through a subjective assessment. The more senior the position and the greater the power and influence, the more important the requirement for training and control.
381. 262 How can training assist in implementing safety regulations? In-house training is preferable (whether private enterprise, national, international) to keep it focused on relevant issues, e.g. assessments of actual risks. Training and competency checks for management skills (again, whether private enterprise, national, international) , i.e. for organisational management skills as well as safety management. Gradual evolution from the top down, that embraces appropriate industry expertise, rather than quick-fix or commercially-driven approaches. 262

410. What do these aircraft have in common? Only the pilot training program Are we really training pilots to fly modern aircraft?
411.
412.
413. Training programmes are consequently saturated with items that may not necessarily mitigate the real risks or enhance safety in modern air transport operations.
436. LOSA: Line Operation Safety Audit 4% of all approaches were unstable 97% of unstable approaches are continued to landing 10% result in abnormal landings Only 3% of unstable approaches lead to a Go-Around When a GA occurs – it is almost always poorly performed Usually a surprise to the crew Very rarely occurs at (the briefed) missed approach height. ITQI slide301
441. AQP data: An AQP data study shows that almost twice as many pilot failed to reach the company standard in missed approach maneuver as opposed to the V1 cut. ITQI slide 304
443. Automation Automation – probably the most important change in the cockpit in the last 30 years. Improvement E.g. Recent study by a large airline showed better performance when using automation for maneuvers such as go-around’s, single-engine flight and NPAs ITQI slide306
444. Automation challenges LOSA 28% of flights have an Automation error Little to no dialogue between the pilots during most of the errors Monitoring/Cross-Checking There are often misunderstandings of autopilot modes. Automation skills erode faster than manual handling skills Flight Crews are becoming more reluctant to revert to manual flying when automation is inappropriate or fails [IATA Accident study, 2009] ITQI slide307
445. 26/09/08 EASA Briefing - Training For Safety 308 Conclusions Risk of doing nothing Complacency with reliable technology Devalued and ineffective training programmes No impact on Accident rates Benefits of Evidence Based Training Evidence based programmes adapted by fleet and operation Greater focus on normal operations Greater emphasis on human performance Encourage “out of the box” thinking with developed methodologies to manage risk
446. Conclusions This type of analytical approach will allow non technical skills to be trained in a more appropriate environment, not necessarily the Level D FFS.

ATCOs – Air Traffic ControllersLack of Communication & Surveillance example is the empty Quarter
SEASR is the European initiative for a single Sky in Europe.
The growth plan of the operators in the region, Emirates, Qatar and Etihad put massive stress on the airspace and the related service providers. Already nowadays, considering that we are not even halfway to the projected growth path, we can see operational restrictions, which force us to decelerate. One example is the lateral separation within the region, which is different from FIR to FIR. Over BAH and UAE airspace the lateral separation is 5 NM. Coming to MCT airspace is is 20 NM and once reaching BOM FIR, airplanes are flying 80 NM apart from each other. This puts a lot of limitations on the airline operation.Restrictions in flow rate for departures from Abu Dhabi via LABRI already cause significant delays to our operator during the evening and morning peak departure periods.

This same automation and avionics systems has brought training issues where the pilots may have difficulties staying “in the loop” when automation behaves in an unexpected way Modern aircraft are highly sophisticated, high levels of computerization, autopilots, avionics. Why do we still train using the requirement of 1945?
For decades, the content of flight crew training programs has remained unchanged according to regulation whilst aircraft design and reliability have evolved dramatically.Within the JAR world boxes have to be ticked on the generic check form without really considering the specific requirements of the aircraft being flown.(I understand the FAA world is essentially the same) Certainly for recurrent training this severely limits the time available to look at not regulatory training.
Improve effectiveness of qualification schemes by developing and introducing - Evidencebased trainingA team lead by IATA has been tasked to examine the whole spectrum of training and report back. The team initially limited the research to aircraft with a min of 40 seats.
Today, as part of the Evidence Based Training program, a very large group of operators and training providers are sharing flight safety data with a view to determine what is relevant to training generally and for individual aircraft types. The aim is to determine where we should focus training to achieve maximum benefit.Modern aircraft have the capability to record huge amounts of data, in the case of the new Airbus A 320 family aircraft up to 7000 parameters can be recorded every one or two 2 seconds depending on the FDR standard. This recording can be used to analyze flights after the event for safety analysis. Many other sources of data are available to analyze aircraft operations and help define training requirements.If the new training procedures are adopted they will most probably be applied to all aircraft types.
In 2005, ICAO adopted an international standard for the collection and analysis of flightdata. Today, the industry has a wealth of safety related evidence at its disposal, fromaccident and incident reports, LOSA, safety auditing and Flight Data Monitoringprogrammes. By analyzing this data, we have an opportunity to gather evidence for flight crew training, by weighing risks and looking at those situations, which are more likely to happen.In this presentation data comes from many different aircraft types, data is systematically de-identified and the actual operator or aircraft type is not known to this presenter.
I would like to look at 2 examples where evidence is beginning to call into question our established views. One significant training issue which has been identified as a major risk factor in modern aircraft is the go-around. This issue have been chosen because it is representative of most modern aircraft rather than being related to any specific type. We all know that a stabilized approach is better than an unstable approach and there is certainly no suggestion of changing this basic training philosophy. However after analyzing 1,000,000+ flights the data shows that the probability of a heavy landing or runway overrun is not significantly improved by making a stable approach.
From the LOSA data base.Pilots are not executing go-arounds from unstable approachesWhen a go-around is executed it is invariably flown poorly, with all engines operating and from a height above D/H
The unexpected go around Of the unstable approaches analyzed a very small percentage resulted in a go around, of the go-around’s performed many were considered to be worse than the potential landing had it been allowed to continue. If all pilots fly stable approaches from now we will not stop heavy landings or runway overruns. This is not the expected result.It would seem that pilots are quite good at salvaging a landing from an unstable approach but not very good at performing a go-around which we thought we had been training for.We must use this information very carefully as the subsequent events after a stable and unstable approach are different. We need to look further at what and how we do thing to establish why this should be.
We generally train for an approach to limits with a go-around, many training captains feel that a go-around significantly above minimums can be more challenging, yet we have a time constraint in training this in favor of the check item requirement.
Airbus recommends the use of auto pilot for engine out and NPA’s, allowing pilots maximum opportunity to monitor the flight path.The check requirement is a manual approach to D/H with an engine out followed by a manual go-around.
“A threat connected to poor visibility on take off, where I have to intervene for a safe outcome, may happen every 3-5 years. Safety would be compromised if I would not been trained. Training for this event has an significant effect.”
