SAFETY REVIEW REQUEST

Purpose 

A formal channel, established by RASG-APAC for the identification and notification of regional safety concerns. It enables States, Administrations, International Organizations, and Industry stakeholders to notify emerging hazards to the Asia Pacific Regional Aviation Safety Team (APRAST) for further technical analysis, prioritization, and the development of coordinated regional mitigation strategies.

Objective

Assessment and Intervention Submissions are analyzed by the APRAST OPS or ORG Working Groups to determine the appropriate regional action, such as:

• Issuing RASG-APAC Safety Advisories (RSA) for rapid awareness.
  • Developing Safety Enhancement Initiatives (SEI) for long-term risk mitigation.
  • Providing targeted regional assistance

Global Reporting Recommendation

To support the global collection of safety data in accordance with the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP, Doc 10004), RASG-APAC highly recommends that stakeholders also submit operational safety risks and emerging issues, as applicable, to the ICAO Secure Portal on Operational Safety Risks and Emerging Issues. Access the Portal: https://www.icao.int/GASP/secure-portal

Information Security 

To promote a positive safety culture and encourage the transparent exchange of information, all submissions are de-identified. In accordance with regional principles, this data is utilized strictly for safety enhancement purposes and is not to be used for audit or enforcement activities.
