Part two – States’ approaches to the issue
Abstract — The aim of this article is to bring a closer look on the various state approaches to the State Safety Programme (SSP) and plan implementation and realization. Therefore, article describes and compares French, the United Kingdom, Finland, Belgium and Ireland approaches. Besides that, it also focuses on the differences between the old and newly issued French safety plan. The article brings an overview of the specific risks, defined in the individual state safety plans, and their classification into particular categories. Keywords: state safety programme, risks, safety performance indicators I. INTRODUCTION State Safety Programme (and following State Safety Plan) establishment represents one of the main steps whose primary objective is an improvement of a current safety level within respective state. As its part, identification of the problematic areas (potential aviation safety risks) represents a major task. However, a common approach to this issue does not exist yet. If we compare individual EU Members’ State Safety Plans [1] it could be seen that states often identify different risks. The effort of their classification, which differs among individual plans, is also noticeable. II. FRENCH SAFETY PLAN The old French safety plan (2009), besides its main purposes, also identifies the general and specific risks. As an example, we can list some of the stated purposes and risks [2]: A. Purposes of safety plan: a) Safety Culture b) Safety Performance c) Information and qualification d) Training
