IE-REST members

• Qualified and experienced in the area of flight safety • To include experts from State authorities and

Regional/International Organizations (flight operations experts, flight crew training experts, airworthiness experts, safety analysts, aircraft accident/incident investigators and aerodrome safety experts) + industry representatives (mainly safety experts from air operators, aircraft design and manufacturing organizations, aircraft maintenance organizations, flight crew training organizations, and aerodrome operators)

• To include experts from within and outside IE-REST geographical area, to enable exchange of experience and best practices

Priorities for the IE-REST

Safety enhancement initiatives should address in priority:

Systemic issues (at State, Regional and industry levels); and

Risks related specifically to: Runway Safety; Loss of control (LOC); and Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT).

April 10, 2023 Page 10

Priorities for the IE-REST “Systemic SEIs” should include:

At State level: Strengthening the capacity of CAAs to recruit, train and retain

adequately qualified and experienced staff, Urge and support the establishment of SSPs by States Ensuring that CAAs have the appropriate degree of autonomy, Within the SSP: Enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of

occurrence reporting systems, Within the SSP: Enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of safety

data analysis systems (incl. consistent use of ADREP/ECCAIRS taxonomy, data quality control, and availability of ECCAIRS in Russian language)

Enhancing States’ capacity to regulate, approve and conduct continuing surveillance of type rating training organizations

Enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of accident and serious incidents investigation systems

Priorities for the IE-REST At regional level:

Improving coordination of safety initiatives within the Region (comparing initiatives taken by States, reg. organizations and the industry) and monitoring progress in the implementation of these initiatives

Facilitating assistance to States when requested, including encouraging inter-State cooperation in the Region

At industry level:

Supporting the implementation of SMS by the industry, in particular enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of: internal occurrence reporting systems For air operators: Flight Data Analysis System

Supporting the implementation of ICAO provisions related to Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS)

Facilitate the implementation of industry best/leading practices

April 10, 2023 Page 12

Priorities for the IE-REST

That the SEIs related to Runway Safety should include: Supporting the creation and implementation of local

Runway Safety Teams (RSTs)

That the SEIs related to CFIT should include Supporting the installation and operation of EGPWS

wherever possible and, if not, the installation of lower cost solutions

Supporting the implementation of the recommendations contained in the ALAR toolkit, including making the latest version of the toolkit available in Russian language

5 March 2013

IE-REST Working Structure

The IE-REST will be able to establish specific sub-groups, for example to work on: Enhancing the use of Flight Data Monitoring by air

operators Supporting the establishment and operation of

Local Runway Safety Teams (LRSTs) Strengthening the reporting and analysis of

incidents at State level

It will be up to the IE-REST to propose the creation of such groups
