For over a decade, ICAO has performed safety oversight audits under the framework of the Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP), and is now transitioning towards the new concept and methodology developed under the USOAP known as the Continuous Monitoring Approach. The USOAP CMA provides a mechanism for ICAO to collect safety information from Member States and other stakeholders and to analyse this information using a risk-based approach to identify and prioritize appropriate activities to be carried out by ICAO. Under the USOAP CMA, ICAO has evaluated the safety oversight capabilities of its Member States as well as monitored their corrective actions as they progressed towards the achievement of global aviation safety.
The CMA Forum is an interactive Website designed to provide Member States and the aviation Community with up to date information on USOAP CMA and provide States with a portal that allows Organizations to seek information and ask questions relating to any aspect of CMA during the transition period and beyond.
We welcome all Member States and the Aviation Community to join the Continuous and Monitoring Section of ICAO as we launch CMA and promote "Global Aviation Safety."
