FOREWORD

Assembly Resolution A41-6: ICAO global planning for safety and air navigation calls for each State to develop and implement a national aviation safety plan (NASP) in line with the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP, Doc 10004) goals, targets and the global high-risk categories of occurrences (G-HRCs). The NASP should contain indicators to monitor its implementation and to measure progress towards achieving the respective NASP goal(s).

While the GASP establishes a global safety strategy, including goals, targets and indicators, regional aviation safety plans (RASP) should be developed and coordinated through the regional aviation safety groups (RASGs) to address specific regional safety issues, in line with the GASP goals and targets. The RASP should contain indicators to measure progress towards achieving the respective RASP goal(s).

This manual was developed to provide States and regions with guidance on data sources for indicators used to measure the achievement of the NASP and RASP goals, respectively. It includes a GASP Indicator Form, developed for each indicator, to provide States and regions with clear guidance and definitions, and to ensure ICAO collects consistent, reliable data.

This manual should be used in conjunction with the Global Aviation Safety Plan (Doc 10004) the Global Aviation Safety Roadmap (Doc 10161) (forthcoming) and the Manual on the Development of Regional and National Aviation Safety Plans (Doc 10131).

This manual was developed with input from experts from civil aviation authorities, industry, as well as regional and international organizations, and thereafter submitted for extensive peer review, taking into account feedback from the expert community. ICAO gratefully acknowledges the contributions of the ICAO Global Aviation Safety Plan Study Group (GASP-SG) and individual experts who provided support, advice and input for this manual.
