Adopted priority safety targets
 ST1- Improvement of the accident rate in commercial air
transport
 ST2- Strengthening of the resources of the Civil Aviation
Authorities (CAAs)
 ST3- Strengthening of States’ systems for licensing,
certification, surveillance and resolution of safety
concerns
 ST4- Resolution of Significant Safety Concerns (SSCs)

Annual regional safety report
 R-REP: Specific group established by the RASG-EUR to work on
issues related to annual safety reports for the entire ICAO EUR
Region (55 States) (similar reports are being made for other RASG
Regions)
 Using already available information (e.g. from ICAO, EASA,
Eurocontrol, IATA, IAC and the ECAC group of experts on accident
investigation)
 Also reflecting the values for the metrics associated with the
priority safety targets adopted by the RASG-EUR for the ICAO EUR
Region
 Target is to complete the annual regional safety report by end of
April each year, covering the period of the previous year

Safety enhancement initiatives for the
non-EASA part of the ICAO EUR Region
 SEIs related to pilot training: focus on implementation of
Multi Crew Pilot Licences (MPL) + Evidence Based Training
(EBT)
 SEIs related to runway safety: focus on improving air
operators’ Standard Operating procedures (SOPs) +
supporting implementation of Local Runway Safety Teams
(LRSTs)
 SEIs related to Flight Data Analysis (FDA): focus on
implementation of FDA programme + national FDA forums
 SEIs related to taxonomy and safety data analysis: focus on
implementation of ADREP/ECCAIRS compatible taxonomy
+ enhancing safety occurrence reporting systems
