About the RASP Webinar Series:  Safety Strategy at the Regional Level

This series of webinars is intended to provide an introduction to each of the Regional Aviation Safety Plans (RASPs). Each RASP establishes regional safety goals and targets, high-risk categories of occurrences (HRCs), safety enhancement initiatives (SEIs), and contributes to the development of national aviation safety plans (NASPs) for all States within that region. The series will focus on the implementation of each RASP, including the relationship with each State's NASP, and with the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP). The series will be conducted in English.

WEBINAR SERIES TOPICS:

Session 1

European Regional Aviation Safety Plan (EUR RASP)

Date and Time:  20 April 2021

Presentation on the EUR RASP can be found here.

Presentation on the EPAS can be found here.

This webinar is intended to provide an introduction, as well as the path to the development of the European Regional Aviation Plan (EUR RASP). The EUR RASP establishes the first layer of priorities, at the regional level, and allows for all 55 States within the ICAO EUR Region to develop their own NASPs. The EUR RASP is based on the successful model of the European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS), incorporating its key safety strategies and actions, in line with the 2020-2022 edition of the GASP. The webinar will explain how the European Union Safety Risk Management process works to populate the EPAS and how this information is then utilized in the EUR RASP. The EUR RASP includes EUR Safety Metrics and Targets. The webinar will address how those metrics and targets were selected. Finally, the webinar will conclude on how the implementation of the EUR RASP, through NASPs, is envisaged and how it will be monitored.

Speakers:

Arkadii Merkulov, Regional Officer, Safety, EUR/NAT Office, ICAO

Régine Hamelijnck, Senior Safety Management Officer, EASA

Recording of the webinar can be found here.

This webinar is intended to present the Middle East Regional Aviation Safety Plan (MID-RASP), 2020-2022 edition. The MID-RASP emphasizes the importance of identifying and mitigating risks at MID Region level. The webinar will address regional aviation safety issues for the MID Region, as a continuation of the work to improve aviation safety and to comply with ICAO standards; and supports MID States and industry in achieving the goals and targets of the 2020-2022 edition of the GASP. In addition, the webinar will cover the three-year plan outlined in the MID-RASP, for States in MID Region to strengthen safety oversight capabilities and implement ICAO safety management provisions. It will also address the risk-based approach to managing safety at the regional level, through a coordinated approach and collaboration between States in the region, regional organizations and industry.

Speaker: Mohamed Chakib, Regional Officer, Safety Implementation, MID Office, ICAO

Session 4

APAC Regional Aviation Safety Plan (AP-RASP)

Date and Time:  8 June 2021 2200 Montreal / 9 June 2021 0900 Bangkok

Recording of the webinar can be found here.

This webinar is intended to introduce the APAC Regional Aviation Safety Plan (AP-RASP), 2020-2022 edition. This plan charts the APAC Region's strategy to strengthen the management of aviation safety in the APAC Region, to continually reduce aviation fatalities and the risk thereof. The webinar will present how the AP-RASP has been organised and how, by means of the AP-RASP, aviation stakeholders of the APAC Region affirm their commitment to aviation safety. It will address how the GASP and the AP-RASP are related to the development of the NASP and why States should consider this relationship, as part of their NASP development process. In addition, the webinar will present considerations for States on the mapping between plans to support the achievement of the RASP and GASP goals, and the alignment of SEIs in each document. Finally, it will address monitor the progress of implementation for States' NASPs and AP-RASP, at the regional level.
