SAFA Programme

2nd SAFA Regulators and Industry Forum:

From the beginning, it is a main principle of the programme that it should be standardised, transparent and fair. (focus & findings)

  • but, are the operators informed when they are on the

Prioritisation List ?

SAFA centralised database

  • EC SAFA Report 2010

  • but, there are cases > 5 months to get report !

Are all national databases linked to EU SAFA database ? Do all operators get automatic notification ? Did all SAFA coordinators granted access to operators ?

A23 – Defect notification and rectification

  • in general, operators appreciate SAFA programme
  • SAFA was good as wake-up call, an eye-opener
  • lessons learned from previous inspections
  • but…

B07 – Emergency exit, lighting/marking, torches

[airport] : Only “personal” torches available in the flight deck. Original Airbus torches in place since aircraft delivery and approved by [NAA]. Again, it is doubtful, how this can generate a finding…!

[airport]: Safety markings on the engine missing. Answer sent to [SAFA inspecting NAA] asking for removal of this finding, as it is not a certification criterion. No answer received neither to clarify what exact sticker is missing nor to remove or at least to close that finding for almost 6 months.

C01 – General external condition

24

[airport]: Break-in point markings (if applied) faded or incorrect. It is again very hard to understand, how something can create a Cat. 2 finding even if it is not mandatory! Even if correction measures have been taken, SAFA database entry has been made and to [SAFA inspecting NAA] has been contacted, the finding is still open and no answer received until now!

slide-25
SLIDE 25

SAFA Cat. 2 finding: lack of hazard placards on the engines. [operator] : not mandatory, decided not to put these on the aircraft.

C07 – Powerplant and pylon

25

[state] -CAA cannot accept the comments of [operator] . It is not mandatory according to the documents of the manufacturer and EASA. However, it is the obligation of the Operator and the Safety Oversight Authorities to ensure safe work of the ground servicing staff…

  • perators obviously have a different procedure on awareness of the

danger zones on the aircraft, which has not been demonstrated to the [state] SAFA inspecting team…the raised finding C07, cannot be closed until the Operator provides evidences of precautions, taken to ensure safety of ground handling staff. [operator] responded with well documented procedure…Still, [operator] finds the finding unjustifiable as item C07 on the SAFA Checklist is related to “Powerplant and pylon”. [operator] sent a couple of messages to SAFA in [state] , but there is no response.

  • discussion with manufacturers and industry

Transparent

  • Prioritisation List

  • communication (English proficiency)

Fair

  • precise, documented and verifiable findings

(photographic evidence facilitates understanding and follow-up)

Fair

  • Time to respond and/or accept corrective

actions and close SAFA findings must be reasonable.

  • Possibility to contest findings prior filing in

SAFA database should be extended to all participating States.

  • Provide airlines on-line access to SAFA

database.
