2 Background ICAO Doc 9734 (Ed ) Safety Oversight Manual, Establishment of a State s Safety Oversight System 1. What is Safety Oversight? Safety oversight is a function by which Contracting States ensure the effective implementation of: ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs); the critical elements of a safety oversight system; and relevant safety practices and procedures. It ensures national aviation industry provides a level of safety equal to or better than that defined by SARPs Safety oversight is A State s responsibility A major obligation Safety Regulation Division Thursday, July 28, Background 2. Why Safety Oversight? ICAO Doc 9734 (Ed ) Safety Oversight Manual, Establishment of a State s Safety Oversight System Ensures the national aviation industry provides a safety level equal to or better than those defined by the ICAO SARPs Ensures continued safety and regularity of international air transport.

ANS Has the State established and implemented a safety oversight system for ensuring the effective implementation of safety-related policy and procedures in the air navigation fields? ANS Has the State developed procedures to assist ANS inspectorate staff in effectively carry out their safety oversight duties and responsibilities? ANS Has the State ensured that sufficient legal authority has been delegated to the level of its ANS inspectorate staff to allow them to execute their mandate of regulatory oversight? [ All ] Is there a distinct separation between the regulatory and service provision functions? [ All ] Are all the functions and responsibilities of the inspectorate clearly defined?

4 CE-3: Organisational arrangement/structure ICAO Doc 9734 (Ed ) Safety Oversight Manual, Establishment of a State s Safety Oversight System In those States where the State is both the regulatory authority and an ANSP, the requirements of the Convention will be met and public interest best be served by clear separation of authority and responsibility. The approval, certification and continued surveillance should be followed as though the operating agency were non-governmental entity A clear division of responsibilities shall be defined between the regulatory functions and service provision functions. Regulatory and safety functions shall remain the responsibility of the State It remains important that any such arrangement be clearly defined by legislation to ensure that adequate safety oversight authority remains vested in the CAA Safety Regulation Division Thursday, July 28, CE-3: Organisational arrangement/structure ICAO ANS Audit Protocol Preamble Authority Designated by a State as responsible for providing or arranging for the provision of Air Navigation Services. Regulator The entity responsible for a service to be provided and in accordance with established standards. Inspectorate The office, entity, or person designated by the regulatory body to carry out safety oversight of the air navigation service providers. Service Providers The entity responsible for the provision of the Air Navigation Service. Safety Regulation Division Thursday, July 28,
