They are a very real threat to Flight Safety and are increasing in risk exposure as traffic continues to increase. The CAA has recently requested the aviation industries participation in their “Runway Incursions – Research into Causes” initiative. This research is being conducted in parallel with similar initiatives from other regulators and flight safety bodies. The UKFSC welcomes this and is fully endorsing and supporting it through our Operational Safety Committee. Most of our members will have received a copy of the CAA’s questionnaire via e-mail and they are urged to ensure that their company responds. communications error, more significant humans do fail every now and then Those involved in safety management perhaps is that in each event no one (usually at the most inconvenient time) and systems continue to examine the individual involved appears to have had one that does not require judgemental or difficulties of communication and company the total picture of the event that unfolded interpretation skills.

  • Tenth Session of the Statistics Division
    STA/10-WP/6 International Civil Aviation Organization 2/10/09 WORKING PAPER TENTH SESSION OF THE STATISTICS DIVISION Montréal, 23 to 27 November 2009 Agenda Item 1: Civil aviation statistics — ICAO classification and definition REVIEW OF DEFINITIONS OF DOMESTIC AND CABOTAGE AIR SERVICES (Presented by the Secretariat) SUMMARY Currently, ICAO uses two different definitions to identify the traffic of domestic flight sectors of international flights; one used by the Statistics Programme, based on the nature of a flight stage, and the other, used for the economic studies on air transport, based on the origin and final destination of a flight (with one or more flight stages). Both definitions have their shortcomings and may affect traffic forecasts produced by ICAO for domestic operations. A similar situation arises with the current inclusion of cabotage services under international operations. After reviewing these issues, the Fourteenth Meeting of the Statistics Panel (STAP/14) agreed to recommend that no changes be made to the current definitions and instructions. Action by the division is in paragraph 5. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In its activities in the field of air transport economics and statistics, ICAO is currently using two different definitions to identify the domestic services of an air carrier. The first one used by the Statistics Programme has been reaffirmed and clarified during Ninth Meeting of the Statistics Division (STA/9) and it is the one currently shown in the Air Transport Reporting Forms. The second one is being used by the Secretariat in the studies on international airline operating economics which have been carried out since 1976 and in pursuance of Assembly Resolution A36-15, Appendix G (reproduced in Appendix A).
