This trend reflects a backdrop of higher asset utilisation, larger fleets, continuous cost overhead reductions, increased passenger numbers, falling ticket revenues and ever demanding customer service improvements. Moving to performance-based regulation Despite continual improvement in global aviation safety statistics, with the UK in particular holding an excellent safety record, a new approach to effectively and proactively managing aviation safety risk will be required. Until now, the civil aviation industry has responded to these challenges with ever increasing regulation and compliance guidance materials, initiating significant positive change around the world. Looking ahead, ICAO and EASA are moving the industry towards a performance-based environment (PBE) and proactive risk management – or as we like to say, “looking ahead at the bow, rather than back at the wake”. Keeping up-to-date with the new requirements, and being able to intelligently apply the intent of the regulations to get the most of this new performance-based approach is likely to be a challenge for many organisation. Changes ahead include: The implementation of a new style of Management System Requirements, in the form of OR(X).GEN.200, including formal risk management, compliance monitoring and a greater emphasis on personnel competence. A clearer personal accountability for the effectiveness of the management system.
