EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency

As part of #EASA’s International Cooperation activities, this week we have been hosting a Safety Promotion Workshop in Singapore for aviation authorities in the Asia Pacific Region. The 3-day event started with discussions on the importance of Safety Promotion as a vital 4th pillar of Safety Management, as defined in International Civil Aviation Organization Annex 19. In the modern world, safe operations rely on effective communication to Industry and the public on key #safety topics. Authorities shared their approach to planning, organising and developing engaging safety promotion content. These were demonstrated by various case studies covering the full spectrum of aviation operations, from airline operations to recreational flying, rotorcraft and drones. Authorities also shared methods of dealing with crisis situations. On the final day, the participants worked together to develop practical campaigns on the role of safety promotion, occurrence reporting and safety leadership. You can find out more about EASA Safety Promotion activities and join any of our Safety Promotion Community Sites that might be relevant for your operations ?? https://lnkd.in/eWjZSERD

#EASA’s Executive Director Florian Guillermet will be exchanging views today at the European Parliament’s Committee on Transport and Tourism (aka the TRAN Committee). ? What is the TRAN Committee? What is its role and what does it mean for EASA? ? The TRAN Committee oversees #EU transport policies, focusing on rules for various modes of transport, infrastructure development, #safety, and international cooperation. It also supervises transport agencies and oversees postal services and tourism. ? Florian will present the Agency's tasks and priorities for the next few years, outlining EASA’s importance in keeping aviation #safe for European citizens. To find out exactly what will transpire, tune into the Committee today at 17.30 ?? https://lnkd.in/eYU6nVUx

#EASA’s Annual Safety Conference addressing “Safety – Technology – and the human dimension” was a great success and a valuable forum for discussing the role of humans in the future of aviation. Our Executive Director, Florian Guillermet emphasised his vision of keeping humans at the centre of #AviationSafety for many decades to come. All parties agreed that EASA must gain experience with the new "smart cockpit" technologies being developed by manufacturers. We can then see whether these enhance #safety in current operations, with two pilots on the flight deck. New concepts such as extended Minimum Crew Operations (eMCO) will only be considered later. As a general principle, any new technologies or concepts in aviation must always enhance safety. We also addressed current safety challenges, such as interference with GNSS navigation and human factors contributing to runway incursions.

Cyber Security has dominated discussions this week at #EASA! We hosted a Part-IS workshop—available to watch next week on EASA’s YouTube channel for those who couldn’t attend ?? https://lnkd.in/dYk6rP6N Plus, we’ve just published our new #EASALight article, focused on Cyber Security in aviation! ? Background: As our world becomes more digital and interconnected, exposure to #cyber threats rises, and the aviation sector is no exception. EASA’s mission to ensure #safe air travel includes reducing information security risks. Our approach to cybersecurity in aviation focuses on four key pillars: ?? Aviation Product Certification ?? Organisational Information Security ?? Information Sharing ?? Capacity Building Read more in the latest EASA Light article on how we are working to keep aviation resilient against cyber threats! ?? https://lnkd.in/e3FGfje9

#EASA’s #Data4Safety programme was honoured by the Flight Safety Foundation for its outstanding contributions to #safety and the aviation industry during the Flight Safety Foundation’s?77th annual International Aviation Safety Summit (IASS), held November 5–7 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. ?? EASA received the Jerome Lederer Safety Leadership Medal award as a clear mark of global recognition rewarding the ambitious work and achievements of the Agency in the field of aviation data sharing and analysis, made possible by an instrumental collaboration with its Member States and Industry. Our Representative in Latin America and the Caribbean, Alfonso Arroyo received the award on behalf of the Agency and the #D4S Members and addressed a keynote message to the audience. John Monks, Industry Co-Chair of the D4S Steering Board, participated to a panel discussing how to best “harness data and collaboration for aviation’s future” where he had the opportunity to explain the background, activities and challenges faced by the D4S programme and how #Vision, #Trust, and #Courage were the corner stones of the successful establishment of D4S in Europe. ??? Industry stakeholders agreed that international cooperation on safety information and intelligence is a must. Cooperation between D4S and other major regional initiatives such as ASIAS, FDX and AP-Share is indeed part of EASA’s agenda! ? EASA warmly thanks the Flight Safety Foundation team and their President and CEO Dr. Hassan Shahidi for the honour and recognition to receive this year’s Jerome Lederer Safety Leadership Medal!
