ASIA AND PACIFIC REGIONS
REGIONAL AVIATION SAFETY TEAMS
(Presented by the Secretariat)
SUMMARY
This working paper describes the Asian COSCAP programmes, with
emphasis on their work on Regional Aviation Safety Teams (ARAST).
The ARAST experience and safety enhancements are the foundation
for the establishment of sub-groups and ad-hoc working groups under
the direction of the APAC RASG.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The COSCAP programmes are dedicated forums for promoting continuing dialogue,
coordination and cooperation to support and strengthen aviation safety among participating Civil
Aviation Administrations. They accomplish this through the advancement of safety oversight
policies, procedures and regulations, and support harmonization and standardization. They also
provide an efficient and cost-effective method for the training of a large number of safety oversight
personnel. In addition, they enable Member States to be effective in reducing safety risk through the
establishment of Regional Aviation Safety Teams (RASTs).
1.2 The 1st COSCAP programme, comprising the States of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India,
Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, was established in South Asia (COSCAP-SA) in February
1998, with Afghanistan joining in 2010. Subsequently, COSCAP South East Asia (COSCAP-SEA)
was established in 2001 for Cambodia, Hong Kong China, Macao China, Indonesia, Lao PDR,
Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam, with Brunei and Timor-Leste
joining in 2007. COSCAP North Asia (COSCAP-NA) was established in 2003 with members China,
the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Mongolia, and the Republic of Korea.

Revision 1
2. DISCUSSION
2.1 Each COSCAP Programme is guided by a Programme Steering Committee of the
Directors General of Civil Aviation (Heads of Civil Aviation Administration) of all Member
Administrations, as well as the ICAO Regional Director or his representative, and the Programme’s
Chief Technical Adviser (CTA). Representatives of the donor community and other organizations
participating in programme funding through cash and/or in-kind support as well as air operator and
service provider representatives are also be invited to participate in the steering committee meetings.
Steering Committee meetings are held approximately every twelve months.
2.2 The COSCAP programmes in Asia Pacific closely coordinate their efforts to support
Member Administrations in four primary areas:
1) Supporting Member Administrations to strengthen their safety oversight
programme, often in preparation for the ICAO USOAP Audit and subsequently
to support the development and implementation of Corrective Action Plans;
2) Developing regulations, standards and guidance material;
3) Providing training courses, seminars, and workshops; and,
4) Establishing Regional Aviation Safety Teams to develop and recommend to
their respective Steering Committee safety enhancement actions to reduce safety
risk in the Asia Pacific Region and to support the implementation of the Global
Aviation Safety Plan (GASP).
2.3 COSCAP programmes assign a high priority to assisting Member Administrations
with preparations for the ICAO USOAP audits, and to the development and implementation of
corrective action plans to respond to the audits. In addition to supporting States to identify shortfalls,
the COSCAP programmes can provide updated regulatory and guidance material that can readily
adapted by the Administrations to strengthen their safety oversight system. Over a one year period
ending 30 June 2011, a total of 43 missions were conducted by the Asian COSCAP programmes for
USOAP audit and corrective action support.
2.4 COSCAP programmes have produced model regulations, standards and guidance
material for use by Member Administrations, to a large extent based on documentation developed by
other CAAs, adapted for use in the sub-region. States that have yet to develop their own material can
utilize the COSCAP guidance or adapt it for their use. Guidance material and models are generally
developed prior to a related training programme being provided. Since 2008 the COSCAPs have
developed programmes in this manner to support Foreign Air Operator Approval and Surveillance,
Accident Investigation, and PBN Operational Approval.
2.5 COSCAP experts prepare and provide training in areas where they have the required
expertise, supplemented in many instances by donor organizations which provide training in support
of the COSCAP programme. Training programmes are to a large extent adapted to the Region and,
where numbers warrant, the training may be provided in each Member State. Since the 47th DGCA
Conference a total of 79 courses, workshops and seminars have been conducted under the auspices
of the COSCAP programmes for which there were 1350 participants.
2.6 Coordination and exchange of best practices is essential for COSCAP programmes, as
resources do not permit duplication of efforts. COSCAP Programme Coordinators and the ICAO
Regional Flight Safety Officer are in regular contact to ensure that there is no duplication of effort and
to exchange best practices.

Revision 1
2.7 In cooperation with the ICAO Flight Procedures Programme (FPP) office, the
COSCAPs have delivered 9 PBN Operational approval courses in 7 States and facilitated 10 PBN
implementation workshops bringing together all stakeholders within a State (e.g., CAAs, air
operators, air traffic control, airports, approach designers, etc.) The workshops are designed to
identify and coordinate the action required by all parties to enable timely implementation of PBN.
2.8 The COSCAP programmes also exchange experts for short missions where a
particular expertise is required. These exchanges also provide an opportunity for exchange of best
practices leading to further harmonization of safety related matters in the Region. Since the 47th
DGCA Conference 12 exchange missions have been conducted between Asian COSCAP
programmes.
2.9 Further to support in airworthiness and aerodrome certification areas as reported to
the 47th DGCA conference, the FAA has kindly continued to support RAST meetings, and provided
expert assistance for five missions totalling three weeks to assist the development of safety
enhancements.

3. COSCAP REGIONAL AVIATION SAFETY TEAMS (RAST)
3.1 The ICAO Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP), which was endorsed by the 33rd
Session of the ICAO Assembly in 2001, stressed the need for a reduction in the rate of fatal accidents
in air transport operations. The GASP endorses the concept of concentrating the safety-related
activities of ICAO on those safety initiatives -- planned or currently underway -- which offer the best
safety dividends in terms of reducing the accident rate. Additionally, the GASP encourages States to
foster regional and sub regional safety groups for the purpose of furthering the global safety effort.
3.2 Two major safety initiatives have been established which are in keeping with the
broad objectives of the GASP. The United States, as part of the FAA's Safer Skies agenda,
established the Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) in June 1998. Similarly, in 1998 the
States represented by the JAA formed the Joint Strategic Safety Initiative (JSSI), now the European
Strategic Safety Initiative (ESSI) under the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Both
initiatives draw upon a broad base of experts from government agencies, airlines, manufacturers,
aviation associations, labour unions, and other safety-related organizations. The focus of their efforts
resulted in a rigorous analysis of accidents, which occurred over the most recent ten-year period for
which significant data was available. Major causes of accidents were identified and categorized, and
priorities were assigned for the purpose of pursuing remedial actions. The top accident categories
initially examined by these groups were:
Controlled flight into terrain
Approach and landing
Loss of Control
Uncontained engine failures
Runway incursions
Weather
3.3 ESSI and CAST work in close co-operation to analyze significant worldwide
accidents/incidents, develop recommendations for improvement actions, and to commit/monitor
implementation completion. In addition, some members from each group actively participate in the
other group on a regular basis.

Agenda Item: 3
Revision 1
3.4 Regional Aviation Safety Teams (RAST) have been in place for over 9 years,
beginning with COSCAP-SA, and are a high priority activity of the COSCAP programmes. Under its
respective COSCAP programme document, each Asian COSCAP independently established a
regional aviation safety team with its own terms of reference. The RAST Meetings are attended by
the CAAs, air operators, aerodrome and air traffic management staff of Member Administrations,
ICAO, and donors and safety partners.
3.5 The objective of each RAST is to recommend interventions to their respective
COSCAP Steering Committee which are intended to reduce identified aviation risks. The
recommendations, once approved by the Steering Committee, may be implemented through the
coordinated efforts of the regulatory authorities, in consonance with service providers, airlines and
aircraft manufacturers. When such actions are endorsed by the Steering Committee, the Team
Members will serve as focal points for introducing the interventions within their respective States and
for coordinating their government's efforts with industry. Safety initiatives are tracked and monitored
by the individual COSCAPs with updates provided at respective annual SCM.
3.6 To accomplish the objectives, the teams review for application within their
sub-region:
a) existing safety interventions which have already been developed through the
efforts of well-established, multinational safety undertakings such as the CAST
and the ESSI;
b) global safety initiatives and best practices and metrics defined in the GASP and
Global Aviation Safety Roadmap (GASR); and
c) regional accidents and significant incident trends and other areas of local concern
to determine unique issues which may warrant locally-developed interventions.
3.7 The focus and priority for the RAST is to introduce, support, and develop actions,
which have the potential to effectively and economically reduce the risk of an aviation accident.
4. EVOLUTION OF RASTS
4.1 The effective functioning of the individual RASTs is heavily dependent upon the
support of donor organizations and other safety partners. In order to facilitate active participation at
all Asian Region safety team meetings, the practice evolved whereby the SEARAST, NARAST and
SARAST meetings were held consecutively at the ICAO Regional Office in Bangkok. In this way the
donors and other safety partners were able to maximize participation through a single session of
travel.
4.2 While holding consecutive meetings minimized travel, there were still inefficiencies
related to requesting experts to repeatedly present the same or similar material to three separate
audiences over a period of weeks. Holding separate sub-regional RAST team meetings also did not
provide for the detailed examination of broader regional safety concerns.
4.3 Recognizing the desirability of improving both the safety effectiveness and efficiency
of the RASTs, in 2008 the respective COSCAP Steering Committees approved their combination into
a single Asian Regional Aviation Safety Team (ARAST). Other than accommodating the creation of
the ARAST, the terms of reference for each RAST remained largely unchanged.
4.4 The RASTs originally examined safety enhancements primarily in the flight
operations and air traffic control areas as these were shown by the CAST to have the greatest potential
for improving safety. Thereafter, with a large percentage of priority implementation complete or
underway in these areas, 2008 saw the creation of the ARAST Maintenance sub-team to undertake the
examination of CAST safety enhancements in this technical area.

Revision 1
4.5 In addition to meeting as a combined ARAST, each COSCAP retained the existence
of its individual RAST so as to ensure that any unique sub-regional issues could be adequately tracked
and addressed. In practice, these teams meet separately on the day following the completion of the
ARAST.
4.6 Following reports to the Steering Committees over the course of 2008 / 2009, the
Steering Committees subsequently approved a further evolution that provided for the ARAST to
become the mechanism to facilitate the evaluation and implementation of the focus areas, best
practices, metrics and maturity level established by the Global Aviation Safety Plan and Global
Aviation Safety Roadmap (GASP/R).
4.7 The first ARAST meeting to examine the GASP/R was held in June 2009, examining
the first five Global Safety Initiatives:
GSI 1 – Consistent Implementation of International Standards & Industry Best
Practices
GSI 2 – Consistent Regulatory Oversight
GSI 3 – Effective Errors & Incidents Reporting
GSI 4 – Effective Incident & Accident Investigation
GSI 5 – Consistent Coordination of Regional Programmes
4.8 In preparation for this review, regional safety data was analyzed to identify the areas
of greatest relevance. This included the analysis of ICAO USOAP data so as to identify the areas of
greatest safety impact.
4.9 The review of the first five GSIs resulted in the identification of 23 proposed actions.
These include the creation of an Accident / Incident Investigation sub-team to examine GSI 3 and GSI
4 in detail.
5. ACCOMPLISHMENTS
5.1 Of the 72 CAST safety enhancements (SE), the ARAST has identified 40 SEs for
implementation in the Asia region. This has included the issuance of 23 Advisory Circulars and
Advisory Bulletins among other actions.
5.2 The 4th ARAST (February 2011) identified 27 Safety Action Items. Please refer to
the Appendix for a sample of safety actions arising from safety team meetings.
5.3 The current implementation status of SEs for the three Asian COSCAPs is
approximately 73% for required COSCAP action and 60% for required State / Administration action.
6. SUCCESS FACTORS
6.1 The work of the COSCAP safety teams could not be accomplished without the
commitment, active participation, and financial and technical support of safety partners and donors,
including the FAA, DGAC France, CASA Australia, EASA, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, the BEA
France, IATA, IFALPA and the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA).
6.2 Because the implementation of safety enhancements requires follow-up within each
member State / Administration, continuity of Member representation on the RAST and subsequently
on National implementation teams is essential.
6.3 Each COSCAP assists its Members with implementation of safety enhancements.

7. TRANSITION TO THE APAC-RASG
7.1 DGCA47 DP 4/3, paragraph 2.7, recognized that the establishment of the
RASG-APAC, including the Directors General, would require a working level technical group
comprised of technical specialists who would review safety issues and develop safety interventions
and enhancements. Accordingly, in recognition of the effectiveness of the established ARAST
mechanism, it was anticipated that the ARAST would transition to become the Asia Pacific Regional
Aviation Safety Team (APRAST), a sub-group of the RASG. The APRAST would submit
recommendations to the Directors General and Safety Partners sitting as the RASG-APAC for their
consideration and approval.
7.2 Key points regarding the transition from the ARAST under the COSCAPs to the
APRAST under RASG-APAC.
7.2.1 Avoidance of duplication: The ARAST technical group would transition to become
the APRAST. There would be no duplication as the technical specialists, external experts and donors
would continue to review safety concerns and identify recommended safety actions to the Directors
General and Safety Partners.
7.2.2 Role of Safety Partners: Participation in the RASG and the APRAST would be
open to Safety Partners as they currently participate under the ARAST, individual RASTs and
Steering Committees.
7.2.3 Role of Directors General: The authority of the Directors General regarding the
recommendations arising from the safety team would remain essentially unchanged.
7.2.4 Mandate and Role of COSCAPs Continued: The role, mandate and functioning of
the COSCAPs remains unaffected by the creation of the RASG-APAC. The role of COSCAP to
support Member State implementation of actions approved by the Directors General is unaffected.
The COSCAP Steering Committee will continue to establish the priorities and guide the activities of
its COSCAP programme. The RAST element of the COSCAP is a high priority activity, strengthened
by its ability to participate in the APRAST. Each COSCAP Steering Committee may also direct its
own safety team to work on specific safety enhancements in addition to the activities of the APRAST.
8. ACTION BY THE MEETING
8.1 The Meeting is invited to take note of the COSCAP safety team (ARAST) experience
and the work that has taken place regarding safety enhancements which are the foundation for the
establishment of sub-groups and ad-hoc working groups under the direction of the APAC-RASG.
