Questions
SSP – Two considerations
The implementation of an
SSP is commensurate with
the size and complexity of
the State’s aviation system
It may require coordination
among multiple authorities
responsible for individual
element functions in the
State
State – Wearing two hats?
When the State is
responsible for the provision
of specific services (e.g.
aerodromes, air navigation
services, etc.) the
organization providing the
service should develop and
implement an SMS
SSP gap analysis
The gap analysis allows the State to assess the existence
and maturity within the State of the elements of an SSP
Guidance in Appendix 3 to Chapter 11 of the SMM
Once the gap analysis is completed and documented, the
components/elements identified as missing or deficient will
form, together with those already existing or effective, the
basis of the SSP implementation plan
SSP implementation plan
A “flight plan” that guides the
development of the SSP
The plan allows States to
identify those tasks
underlying the strategy
leading to the implementation
of the SSP
coordinate the activities by
the various State aviation
organizations under the SSP
in support of the
implementation plan
Why a phased approach to SSP?
To manage the workload associated
with the implementation of the SSP
To prevent the “compliance by ticking
boxes”
Three implementation phases are
proposed based on
the results of the gap analysis
the sequential application of the
different components and elements
of the SSP framework
Why a phased approach to SSP?
Three implementation
phases are proposed based
on
the results of the gap
analysis
the sequential application
of the different
components and
elements of the SSP
framework
The SSP framework in a phased approach
1. State safety policy and objectives
1.1 State safety legislative framework
1.2 State safety responsibilities and accountabilities
1.3 Accident and incident investigation
1.4 Enforcement policy
2. State safety risk management
2.1 Safety requirements for service providers SMS
2.2 Agreement on service providers safety performance
3. State safety assurance
3.1 Safety oversight
3.2 Safety data collection, analysis and exchange
3.3 Safety data driven targeting of oversight on areas of greater concern or need
4. State safety promotion
4.1 Internal training, communication and dissemination of safety information
4.2 External training, communication and dissemination of safety information
