Abstract

The requirement for implementing an Occurrence Reporting System in all approved aircraft maintenance and repair organisations under the European Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA) regulations, is the closest the regulators have come to establishing a functional system for the management of safety reports in aviation maintenance (EASA Part-145.A.60, JAR-145.60 Amendment 5). A reporting system is a necessary and integral part of the overall feedback macro-system within an organisation and plays a critical role in the management of the airworthiness of the aircraft and, ultimately, its safety. Although the management of such reports was not specifically required previously, JAR-145 Amendment 5 and EASA Part-145 now address this issue.JAR-145 Amendment 5 and EASA Part-145 are a welcome improvement for safety management, however, this does not mean that the system is now perfect. Therefore, this article has three intentions: (1) to conduct a critical review of the Occurrence Reporting System proposed by EASA Part-145 compared to a prototypical reporting management system, (2) to explore the role of EASA in the management of reporting aircraft safety, and (3) to offer guidance for new requirements of an effective Occurrence Management System within the scope of EASA Part-145.A.60.
