Mitigation

1. What is the hazard?

2. What happens when

hazard control is lost?

3. What safety event could

release the hazard?

6. How do we recover if the event occurs? How can the potential

outcome likelihood or consequence severity of the outcome be limited?

4. How can the accident scenario

develop?

What are the potential outcomes?

5. How do we avoid the undesirable event? How do we

keep control on the hazard?

Cooperation on SAFA Cooperation Policy from the EU

EU ready to develop the international dimension of SAFA and open the SAFA Programme to non-ECAC states States could participate in the SAFA programme according to some criteria:

Community has in place aviation agreements, recognition of Community designation, guarantee on Rules of Confidentiality, commitment towards an active participation

A phased approach would be put in place (starting with an access to a replica of the database and allowing for a period of Confidence Building via training and standardisation procedures) with a view to a full participation to SAFA programme.
