Report from the Commission on the European Community SAFA Programme (Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft)

(Aggregated Information — Report — 30 April to 31 December 2006)

(2008/C 42/01)

1.   THE EC SAFA PROGRAMME

1.1.   Origins of the EC SAFA programme

Initially the SAFA programme was launched by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) in 1996. The SAFA programme was not based upon a European legal binding basis but upon a commitment of the Directors General of the participating ECAC Member States. The scope of the inspections relating to ‘foreign’ aircraft implied those aircraft which are not used or operated under the control of the competent authority of the state where the inspection takes place.

On 30 April 2004 Directive 2004/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the safety of third-country aircraft using Community airports (the so-called ‘SAFA Directive’) was published, creating a legal obligation upon EU Member States to perform ramp inspections upon third country aircraft landing at their airports, where ‘third country aircraft’ implied an aircraft which is not used or operated under control of a competent authority of an EU Member State; although the Directive does in no way prohibit EU Member States from inspecting aircraft from other EU Member States. EU Member States were given a window of two years for implementing this Directive through the enactment of national legislation.

Following a decision by the Directors General of ECAC member states, the SAFA Programme was transferred under European Community (EC) competence where as of 1 January 2007, responsibility for the management and further development of the EC SAFA programme falls upon the European Commission assisted by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). EASA is a European Commission agency based in Cologne which is responsible for the operational management of the EC SAFA programme on behalf of the same Commission in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 768/2006.

EC SAFA programme

Until 2006 the operational elements of the SAFA programme were implemented by the Central Joint Aviation Authorities (CJAA). At the end of 2006 the SAFA coordination activities including the centralised database have been transferred from CJAA to EASA.

The continued participation of the non-EU ECAC Member States, and thus the pan-European dimension of the programme, has been assured through the signature of a Working Arrangement between each of these individual States and EASA. Including the EU-27 therefore, the EC-SAFA programme boasts a total of 41 Participating States (see Appendix A).

41 Participating States

1.2.   Functioning of the EC SAFA Programme

In each SAFA Participating State, aircraft (third-country for EU states or foreign for non-EU ECAC states) can be subject to a ramp inspection, chiefly concerned with the aircraft documents and manuals, flight crew licenses, the apparent condition of the aircraft and the presence and condition of mandatory cabin safety equipment. The references for these inspections are contained in the Standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Annexes 1 (Personnel Licensing), 6 (Operations of Aircraft) and 8 (Airworthiness of Aircraft).

The references for these inspections are contained in the Standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Annexes 1 (Personnel Licensing), 6 (Operations of Aircraft) and 8 (Airworthiness of Aircraft).

These checks are carried out in accordance with a procedure which is common to all Participating States. Their outcome is then the subject of reports which also follow a common format. In the case of significant irregularities, the operator and the appropriate Aviation Authority (State of Operator or Registry) are contacted in order to arrive at corrective measures to be taken not only with regard to the aircraft inspected but also with regard to other aircraft which could be concerned in the case of an irregularity which is of a generic nature. All data from the reports as well as supplementary information are shared and centralised in a computerised database set up and managed by EASA.

The main features of the EC SAFA Programme can be summarised as follows:

| — | its application by all SAFA Participating States — in principle all 41 ECAC Member States with the exception of Albania (EU Member States and non-EU ECAC Member States that have signed the EASA Working Arrangement; |

1.3.   Integration of the EC SAFA Programme in the overall aviation safety chain

Based upon the SAFA inspections performed over the last few years, experience shows that these give a general indication of the safety of foreign operators. However, this indication is limited in the sense that no full picture is obtained about the safety of any particular aircraft or operator. This is due to the fact that certain aspects are difficult to assess during an inspection (e.g. Crew Resource Management, full airworthiness status, etc.) owing to the limited time available to perform an inspection and consequently the limited level of detail possible during such an inspection.

A full assessment of a particular aircraft or operator can only be obtained through the continuous oversight by the responsible Aviation Authority (State of Operator or State of Registry). In this manner, the information gained through the EC SAFA Programme is useful:

| — | Primarily as a pre-emptive tool helping to identify potential negative safety trends, whereby a numerous and/or recurring number of findings concerning a particular operator, is a very good indicator of potential structural weaknesses both with regard to the quality control management of that operator as well as the level of safety oversight exercised by the responsible national civil aviation authorities of the state where that operator is certified; similar negative trends may also be identified concerning specific aircraft types. |

Additionally, since the coming into force of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 establishing a list of carriers which are banned from flying into EC territory, SAFA inspections have acquired an increased importance as one of the criteria considered by the Commission in taking its decisions on the inclusion of carriers in the Community list. Indeed, this has been the case since the establishment of the first Community list in March 2006 and its subsequent regular updates.

1.4.   Development of the programme in 2006

The year 2006 saw two significant milestones in the SAFA Programme:

| — | In April 2006 the ‘SAFA Directive’, adopted by the European Parliament and the Council in April 2004, became applicable for EU Member Sates. In May 2006, the European Commission formally mandated EASA through Commission Regulation (EC) No 768/2006 of 19 May 2006 (implementing Directive 2004/36/EC as regards the collection and exchange of information on the safety of aircraft using Community airports and the management of the information system) to coordinate the EC SAFA Programme and manage some of its elements (e.g. the database, procedures, training) as of 1 January 2007. |

| — | In December 2006, an agreement was reached between Eurocontrol and the European Commission in the framework of the EC SAFA programme. Under this agreement, Eurocontrol's Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU) undertook to alert SAFA Participating States of flight plans to and from airports pertaining to aircraft or operators that have been subjected to operating restrictions in one or more Participating States and on which focused SAFA inspections may be performed. This is in addition to a warning function whereby (potential) flights of operators featuring on the Community List of banned carriers (the so called ‘Blacklist’) are also monitored. |

1.5.   Why this report?

Article 6(2) of Directive 2004/36/EC provides that:

‘The Commission shall publish yearly an aggregated information report available to the public and the industry stakeholders containing an analysis of all information received in accordance with Article 5. That analysis shall be simple and easy to understand and shall indicate whether there exists an increased safety risk to air passengers. In the analysis, the source of that information shall be dis-identified.’

This report is based upon the results of all ramp inspections performed during the period of 30 April 2006 to 31 December 2006. By next year, the same report will be phased-in on a full year basis, covering the period between 1 January and 31 December 2007 — incidentally the first year following the transfer of responsibility for the SAFA programme under EC competence (see below).

see below

2.   SAFA CENTRALISED DATABASE

The SAFA centralised Database has been managed by EASA since December 2006, when it was transferred from the Central Joint Aviation Authorities (CJAA) in the Netherlands to EASA in Cologne, Germany.

Although it is managed and maintained by EASA, the inclusion of reports in the database remains a responsibility of the individual National Aviation Authorities (NAA) of SAFA Participating States.

In the considered time period SAFA Participating States performed some 5 401 inspections which revealed some 8 383 findings (see Appendix B).

Appendix B)

Data contained in the database is considered confidential in the sense that it is only shared with other Participating States and is not available to the general public. The database can be accessed by all National Aviation Authorities of Participating States via the (secured) internet. At present, 39 National Aviation Authorities are connected on-line to the database.

3.   AREAS OF INSPECTION

In nearly all Participating States, the number of operating flights is far greater than the inspection capability, implying that SAFA ramp inspections are only possible on a spot-check basis. This is organised either randomly or based upon information (e.g. regular analysis of the database by EASA) indicating that specific subjects are suspected of non-compliance with international safety standards. It might be decided to focus the inspection according to certain criteria, as listed below. In case Participating Member States decide to focus their inspections, this decision is based on recommendations issued by the European Commission or national policies and priorities. These recommendations can be based on an analysis of the SAFA centralised database or on the results of past inspections.

There are five areas on which the inspections can be focused:

| (1) | Specific State of Operator (checking operators from a particular State). |
| --- | --- |

Appendices C, D, E list the states of operator, aircraft types and operators inspected in the period 30 April — 31 December 2006. They highlight the wide coverage of the EC SAFA Programme and its non-discriminatory application.

The smooth operation of the Programme can also be illustrated by the table below, which aggregates the information in the Appendices and provides an overview of activities.

Although under the ‘SAFA Directive’ the main obligation on EU Member States is the inspection of third-country aircraft visiting EU airports, aircraft from EU Operators continue to be subject of inspections as well. The following table shows the results:

| Inspections | 5 401 Inspections... |
| --- | --- |
| Operator | ...ON 762 different operators... |
| State of Operator | ...FROM 122 States... |
| Aircraft type | ...OPERATING 191 different (sub)types of aircraft |

The table below, meanwhile reflects the fact that the vast majority of all flights within EU Member States are carried out by EU operators and that in general, SAFA participating States were still using the broader criteria of the former ECAC SAFA Programme.

4.   MAIN RESULTS OF THE SAFA INSPECTIONS

4.1.   Inspection findings in general

A first starting point regarding the findings, which are deviations from ICAO Standards, is the quantitative approach. This compares the total number of findings (F) to the total number of inspections (I) and the inspected items (II).

During the inspection, a checklist is used which comprises a total of 54 different inspection items. In the majority of cases, not all items are checked during an inspection because the time between the arrival of the aircraft and its departure is not sufficient to perform a complete inspection. Therefore, the relationship between the total number of findings and the total number of inspected items might give a better understanding rather than a ratio based merely on the number of inspections. The results are presented in the table below.

Period 30 April 2006 — 31 December 2006

| Total Inspections (I) | 5 401 |
| --- | --- |
| Total Inspected Items (II) | 186 564 |
| Total Findings (F) | 8 383 |

4.2.   Inspection findings and their categories

Not only the absolute number of inspection findings needs to be considered, but also their ‘severity’. To this end, three categories of findings have been defined. A ‘Category 1’ finding is called a minor finding; ‘Category 2’ is a significant finding and ‘Category 3’ a major finding. The terms ‘minor’, ‘significant’ and ‘major’ relate to the level of deviation from the ICAO Standard. The prime purpose of categorising the findings is to classify the compliance with a standard and the severity of non-compliance with this standard.

The inspections and the categories of findings are recorded in the database and the results are presented in the table below.

Average Number of Findings by ICAO Region — Evolution over the last 3 Years

Image

This graph shows that for most of the ICAO Regions the average number of findings (total number o findings/total number of inspections) maintained at a constant level (EUR/NAT, NACC, MID) or decreased (WACAF, APAC) over the last three years. South America and East Africa are the only regions for which the average number of findings has increased over the same three years period.

4.4.   Inspection findings related to checklist items

Appendix F provides the results regarding each individual inspection item (III) which has been inspected. It indicates the number of times that a particular inspection item was checked, the number of findings and the ratio F/III. Appendix G provides the detailed breakdown of findings for the year 2006 by categories.

4.5.   The top three significant and major inspection findings related to checklist items

The inspection checklist consists of four major parts. Part A concerns items to be inspected in the flight deck of the aircraft. Part B of the checklist concerns items to be checked in the (passenger) cabin, and mainly consists of safety equipment. Part C relates to the general technical condition of the aircraft which needs to be verified during a walk around check. Part D checklist items concern the cargo compartment of the aircraft and the cargo carried.

Any general findings not covered by Parts A, B, C or D can be administered under Part E (general) of the checklist.

When considering the findings established during a SAFA inspection, Category 2 (significant) and Category 3 (major) findings require the highest attention when it comes to the need for rectification. For each part of the checklist, the top three of Category 2 and three findings related to the number of inspections are given in the tables below Appendices D and E.

5.   ACTION TAKEN AFTER RAMP INSPECTIONS

Based on the category, number and nature of the findings, several actions may be taken.

If the findings indicate that the safety of the aircraft and its occupants is impaired, corrective actions will be required. Normally the aircraft captain will be asked to address the serious deficiencies which are brought to his attention. In rare cases, where inspectors have reason to believe that the aircraft captain does not intend to take the necessary measures on the deficiencies reported to him, they will formally ground the aircraft. The formal act of grounding by the State of Inspection means that the aircraft is prohibited from resuming its flights until appropriate corrective measures are taken.

Another type of action is called ‘corrective actions before flight authorised’. Before the aircraft is allowed to resume its flight, corrective action is required to rectify any deficiencies which have been identified.

In other cases, the aircraft may depart under operational restrictions. An example of such a restriction would be the case where there is a deficiency regarding passenger seats. Operation of the aircraft is possible under the condition that the deficient seats are not occupied by any passengers.

It is standard practice that the captain of the aircraft which has just been inspected is debriefed about the findings. In addition, Category 2 and Category 3 findings are communicated to the responsible Aviation Authority and the home base of the operator with the request to take appropriate action to prevent reoccurrence.

In order to achieve best the objectives of the EC SAFA Programme, close cooperation with the Civil Aviation Authorities of all those States whose operators and aircraft have been subject of SAFA inspections, is imperative. As part of their responsibility regarding the safety oversight of their national operators according to the relevant international safety standards, these Civil Aviation Authorities are requested to ensure proper implementation of corrective actions in order to address the reported SAFA findings.

In some cases, when the findings on an aircraft are considered important, individual SAFA Participating States may decide to revoke the entry permit of that aircraft. This means that the particular aircraft is no longer allowed to land at airports or fly in the airspace of that State. Such a ban can be lifted if the operator of the aircraft proves that the problems have been properly corrected. Such entry permit repercussions can therefore be, and usually are, of a temporary character.

As regards such bans and their subsequent lifting, those SAFA Participating States which belong also to the European Community shall be acting in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 on the establishment of a Community list of air carriers subject to an operating ban within the Community.

The distribution of SAFA inspections by aircraft manufacturers mirrors to a large extent the current market penetration of the various manufacturers. It is also worth mentioning that the year 2006 was the first year in which the SAFA Programme was extended to cover also general aviation and helicopter operations.

These tables, are the result of grouping all the various aircraft types flying in Europe by their particular manufacturer.

Here it can be discerned that the conduct of ramp inspections is spread out quite evenly to cover the various aircraft types flying in the Community.

APPENDIX F

F.1.   Inspection items concerning the flight deck

F.1.1.   Minimum equipment list (MEL)

The MEL specifies the circumstances under which an aircraft may be operated in spite of certain equipment being inoperative. The MEL is established by the aircraft operator and approved by the responsible State of operator. The majority of the findings concerned the lack of evidence of approval of the MEL, the MEL not being carried onboard or being out of date. Also in many cases instead of the MEL the MMEL (Master MEL) is being used. The MMEL is established by the aircraft manufacturer as a baseline document for the operator to establish the MEL.

F.1.2.   Manuals

It mainly concerns the Flight Operations Manual (FOM) which provides flight procedures for the flight crew. Frequent findings established are: no approval by the State of Operator, content of the manual does not meet the ICAO Standards, the manual is not up-to-date or has been drafted by another airline.

F.1.3.   Radio navigation charts

ICAO Annex 6 requires that aircraft shall carry current and suitable charts (en-route and approach) for the proposed flight(s). The majority of the findings concern out-dated charts and navigation databases not update.

Ratio number of findings per inspections: Flight deck items

Image

F.2.   Inspection items concerning passenger cabin

F.2.1.   Emergency exits, lighting and marking, torches

The findings mainly concerned emergency exit lights which were not functioning properly, torches (flashlights) which were not available, in poor condition or not available in sufficient quantity and non-installation or inadequately functioning of floor proximity (emergency) escape path marking systems. These systems indicate the location of the emergency exits. They are important especially when there is a fire or smoke in the passenger cabin or when the normal cabin lights are not functioning.

F.2.2.   Access to emergency exits

Access to emergency exits must always be clear of obstacles. In case of an emergency, the path to the emergency exits and doors should be clear, allowing a rapid evacuation of the aircraft. Findings established were obstruction of access by catering boxes, luggage and cargo. Another frequent finding, especially on CIS-built aircraft, was the fact that the seats in front of the emergency exits can fold forward and in case of an emergency may block the path to the exit. Also in many cases the locks of the tray tables on the seats in the area of emergency exits do not prevent the tray tables from obstructing an unrestricted access to the exits.

F.2.3.   General internal condition

The cabin crew members have to be able to perform their normal and abnormal duties without hindrance. The findings mainly revealed the poor condition of the cabin, loose carpeting impeding the crew to perform their duties, improper stowed luggage.

Ratio number of findings per inspections: cabin and safety items

Image

F.3.   Inspection items concerning general condition of aircraft

F.3.1.   General external condition

Checking the general external condition means checking for apparent corrosion; cleanliness; hydraulic leakage of flight control power actuators; presence of ice, snow, frost; legibility of markings, windshield delamination, damages, exterior lights etc. The majority of the findings concerned paint damage, illegible or missing markings, non-operative lighting, missing or loose screws.

F.3.2.   Wheels, tyres and brakes

Wheels, tyres and brakes need to be in proper condition. Reported findings were tyres worn beyond limits, cuts in the tyre, leakage of hydraulic fluid in landing gear areas, brakes worn beyond limits.

F.3.3.   Powerplant and pylon

The engine, the engine housing, the pylon (attachment of the engine to the wing or aircraft structure) and the access panels in the engine housing and pylon are carefully inspected. Findings reported relate to fuel & oil leakages, missing rivets in engine housing and damage of acoustic panels in the engine intake area.

F.4.   Inspection items concerning cargo compartment

F.4.1.   Safety of cargo on board

In several cases it was established that cargo in the cargo holds was not properly secured. Heavy items were not restrained, which might lead to damage of the aircraft in case of rapid acceleration/deceleration. In other cases, barrier nets were either not installed or in poor condition. Cargo containers and pallets were in poor condition. Locks to secure the containers were not in the proper position or unserviceable.

F.4.2.   Dangerous goods

‘Dangerous goods’ are certain types of material/s needing special care and treatment because they are flammable, toxic, poisonous, etc. When properly packed, stored, labelled, protected etc., dangerous goods may be transported. Findings that have been recorded included improper storage and labelling of the dangerous goods carried onboard, unavailability of the required documents and manuals (Emergency Response Guide), missing authorisation for the transportation of dangerous goods and no proper notification to the Captain (NOTOC) of dangerous goods carried onboard.

F.4.3.   General condition of cargo compartment

Findings related to the general condition of the cargo compartment, such as damage to panels, deficiencies with the locking system, improper repairs of panels, and missing separation nets.
