SCHEDULE 2

(regs 8(3) and 45)

PART A — SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AT AERODROMES

1.    Safety management

    An aerodrome in Category 3 and above shall have in place a system for managing safety, to which it is—

    (a)    committed;

    (b)    readily identifiable by the personnel of the aerodrome and the personnel of the Authority; and

    (c)    clearly documented in the aerodrome manual.

2.    Interpretation

    In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires—

    “Risk” means the combination of the probability, or frequency of occurrence of a defined hazard and the magnitude of the consequences of the occurrence.

3.    Safety objective

    An aerodrome and its facilities, equipment and systems shall be designed and operated such that for any hazard, the combination of the probability of occurrence and the seriousness of the consequences of the hazard occurring do not result in a level of risk that is unacceptable.

4.    Safety management policy statements

    A safety management system (SMS) established at an aerodrome shall include—

    (a)    a statement that the highest priority shall be attached to safely in relation to business activities;

    (b)    a business objective for safety that shall minimise the aerodrome’s contribution to aviation accidents risk to as low as reasonably practicable;

    (c)    a commitment by the aerodrome operator to adopt an explicit and pro-active approach to safety management;

    (d)    a statement of safety-related responsibilities and accountabilities at all levels of the organisation;

    (e)    a commitment to comply with appropriate safety standards;

    (f)    a commitment that the safety assurance process used by external suppliers comply with safety standards and requirements; and

    (g)    an emergency response plan that provides for the orderly and efficiency transition and co-ordination of operations from normal to emergency and back to normal.

5.    Safety management principles

    (1) Whenever practicable, a quantitative safety level shall be derived, maintained and improved for aviation products and services delivered by an aerodrome, and where quantitative safety levels cannot be derived, a qualitative reasoning shall be performed in order to meet the safety objective.

    (2) An aerodrome operator shall assess existing operations, proposed changes, additions or replacements for the operation’s safety significance.

    (3) For a service or product, an aerodrome operator shall—

    (a)    identify and record safety requirements for the service or product;

    (b)    identify and record the results of the safety assessment process and evidence that the safety requirements have been met; and
