Key issues in SMS Implementation Good attitude from organizations One person in charge

Highly motivated

With a good knowledge of the organization

To attend formal SMS training To be original and keep simplicity

To have a clear concept that SMS is neither a manual nor a computer program

To permit guidance and advice from Safety Management Systems Group

Proven benefits from SMS implementation

It generates business profits Guarantee of continuity or the organization Lower insurance costs

It creates favorable conditions for competitiveness A better representation before international markets A higher demand and business opportunities

It complements properly other quality and safety-security processes In order for the organizations to perform as a “system”

It reduces air accidents As the number of operations and passengers increases, costs due to

accidents are reduced: organization sustainability


18

¿What do we have ahead? To go forward on implementation phases:

To reach all the big dimension and variety of air operations in Colombia

Non regular, agricultural and general aviation requires special efforts and processes for implementation

To manage information flow resulting from SMS implementation Among organizations

Between organizations and the State

From the State to international organizations

To improve risk management processes

To Sustain SMS already implemented Stability and continuity of people in charge and processes

Maturity of proactive and predictive methods


19

The State Safety Program, SSP

Integrated regulations, guides and activities for safety improvement: To identify shortages To adjust structural organization To issue safety regulation To identify and involve service providers (not only flight

operators) To investigate accidents and incidents To establish a hazard report system, voluntary and mandatory To analyze and share safety data To promote safety

Accident investigation in Colombia AERONÁUTICA CIVIL UNIDAD ADMINISTRATIVA ESPECIAL

28

Key issues in accident investigation

Fulfillment of Annex 13 and ICAO documents

Up to date national regulation (RAC 8)

Use of ECCAIRS

Training and competence of investigators

Total technical independency for investigating

Reliability and confidence from aviation community on investigative processes

Investigation is linked to SMS and SSP implementation


29

Strengths Experience in accident

investigation Human resources of

Investigation Group Systematization of investigation

processes Support received from

universities and from the Colombian Air Force

Prompt and valuable support from NTSB, TSB and other organizations

Assistance received from a lawyer regarding legal issues


30

Difficulties

Lack of specialized laboratories for analysis

Difficulty in arriving at remote regions in the country

Requirements from other organizations for legal purposes

Use of reports for other than safety purposes


31

Our objectives and projects

To strength regional Groups for “on site” investigation

Foundation of Investigation Center, with the Colombian Air Force

Acquisition of flight registering decoding and simulation capability

To move Investigation Group to a higher level, autonomous from Civil Aviation Authority


32

Constant decrease of accidents

And constant decrease of rate of

accidents


33

And zero (0) fatalities on “on demand” operation

in 2012* * There were 14 fatalities on general and agricultural aviation

Consistent low number or no

accident on regular operation (scheduled)


34

Significant reduction of

accidents on “on demand” operation

… and on helicopter

operation in 2012


35

Comparison with Latin-America and Caribbean*

Colombia shows less accidents compared

with the Region average

* Based on 3rd. RASG PA Annual Safety Report


36

¿What do we need to improve? AERONÁUTICA CIVIL UNIDAD ADMINISTRATIVA ESPECIAL

37

Conclusions

Operational safety is a matter of interest for all kind of aeronautical organizations

SMS implementation creates confidence and competitiveness

Some of the key elements for a successful SMS are originality, simplicity and applicability to particular operational characteristics of a particular organization

It has been proven that nevertheless the challenges, doubts and difficulties, SMS implementation is possible

Accident investigation, as a reactive method, continues been a valuable process in implementation of SMS
