The Aircraft Electronics Associa-tion hosted the annual AEA Eu-

rope Meeting in May, in Cologne, Germany. The meeting featured an-other solid program, and hopefully, you were able to attend this year.

During the meeting, the AEA gave a review of regulatory issues important to its European member-ship, followed by a presentation from John Vincent, the head of the safety analysis and research depart-ment for the European Aviation Safety Agency. Vincent’s presenta-tion focused on the activities of his office, specifically those with the European Strategic Safety Initiative (ESSI).

ESSI is an aviation safety part-nership between EASA, other reg-ulators and the industry. Its objec-tive is to further enhance safety for citizens in Europe and worldwide through safety analysis, implemen-tation of cost-effective action plans, and coordination with other safety initiatives worldwide.

EASA launched ESSI launched in July 2006, as a 10-year program. It has three teams: the European Commercial Aviation Safety Team (ECAST), the European Helicopter Safety Team (EHST), and the Euro-pean General Aviation Safety Team (EGAST).

ECAST addresses large, fixed-wing aircraft operations and aims to further enhance commercial avia-tion safety in Europe and for Euro-pean citizen worldwide. It cooper-ates with the Commercial Aviation Safety Team and other major safety initiatives worldwide, in particu-lar under the Cooperative Devel-opment of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Program (COSCAP) of the ICAO Technical Cooperation Program.

ECAST monitors the implemen-tation of action plans inherited from the former Joint Safety Strategic Initiative of the Joint Aviation Au-thorities, and it has developed a new safety approach using a

three-phase process:• Phase 1: Identification and se-

lection of safety issues • Phase 2: Safety issues analysis • Phase 3: Development, imple-

mentation and monitoring of actions plans

Phase 1 was conducted from April 2006 to December 2007. Eighteen safety subjects were identified as • Phase 1: Identification and selection of safety issues

• Phase 2: Safety issues analysis • Phase 3: Development, imple-

mentation and monitoring of actions plans

Phase 1 was conducted from April 2006 to December 2007. Eighteen safety subjects were identified as topics for further analysis in Phase 2. Last year, using a prioritization process combining safety impor-tance, coverage and high-level, cost-benefit considerations, ECAST
