• Reduce the U.S. commercial aviation fatal accident rate by 80% by 2007

• Work together with airlines, JAA, ICAO, IATA, FSF, IFALPA, other international organizations and appropriate regulatory/ government authorities to reduce worldwide commercial aviation fatal accident rate

Importance of Data Gathering/Sharing

COSCAP: (Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme) Enhancing safety and efficiency

South Asia, Southeast Asia, and North Asia

PASO – Pacific Aviation Safety Office

Three Sub-Regional Safety Groups under COSCAP: (South Asia, Southeast Asia, North Asia Regional Aviation Safety Teams)

Asia Pacific ICAO Safety Groups

Cooperation with Regional Safety Teams

SARAST/SEARAST share information-potentially meet together

Materials to Support Enhancements are Shared Between Teams

Future: Share among all teams

Stay Focused on High Priority Areas – High Yield Safety Enhancements

Comprehensive Data-Driven Industry/Government Collaboration Target Scarce Resources to High Priority Areas, Common in The World/RegionAsia-Pacific: CFIT and Approach and Landing = Highest Safety Risk AreasImplement Enhancements with High Priority Safety Benefits to Reduce RiskCapitalize on Sharing Work – Avoiding Rework and Duplication

SummaryThe Time for Action is Now

Safety Team Work is Yielding Results

Commonalities Exist and Working Together will Eliminate Unnecessary Duplication of Effort
