Added value of RSOOs

Contribution to overall harmonisation / interoperability of safety information / data exchange mechanisms

Consolidation of information / data => critical mass

Economies of scale (E.g. Database Management and analysis)

Through their « standardisation » activities, contribution to ICAO CMA programme

Challenges

Quality and homogeneity of safety data

Proper balance between administration of justice and protection of certain safety data/information

(e.g. voluntary reports)

Optimum organisation of safety data sharing (e.g. interoperability at regional level; different

national laws on access of the public to information)

Ensuring public information yet avoiding misuse of safety data

Conclusion

Predictive safety oversight requires data collection and a solid process to analyse data

SMS / SSP / CMA are data driven

Data / information must be collected, stored, analysed and exchanged

RSOOs can facilitate efficient collection, storage, analysis and exchange of safety data and

information
