Description The constitution of ICAO is the Convention on International Civil Aviation, drawn up by a conference in Chicago in November and December 1944, and to which each ICAO Contracting State is a party. This Convention is also known as the Chicago Convention). In October 1947, ICAO became a specialised agency of the newly-established United Nations. The Chicago Convention set down the purpose of ICAO:

Welcome Welcome to the Safety and Justice Tookit. This toolkit is designed to be a general purpose utility. It does not exclusively follow one of the many models about Just Culture that one can find in literature, publications, magazines, websites or blogs. Where relevant, it points users towards more available material elsewhere. First and foremost, the toolkit aims to be as practicable as possible and help users determine, or rather, "interpret" human actions and behaviour during a safety event.

Clear of Conflict. Raising Awareness of the Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) User Interface is an aid to, and not a substitute for proper TCAS training. This aid was developed by National Air Traffic Services (NATS) in association with FlightSafety International and EUROCONTROL.

The new and updated Level Bust Toolkit is designed to raise awareness of the level bust issue and to help everyone do their bit to reduce level busts. Welcome How much do you know about Level Busts? Is it enough?

One or more familiarisation flights (fam flights) will take place during an Air Traffic Control Officer’s (ATCO’s) career which will provide an understanding of the flight deck and flight crew procedures. The aim of this collection of articles is to provide controllers with briefing information regarding the useful aspects to observe during a fam flight.

The toolkit is aimed at providing awareness to Air Traffic Controllers on the subject of Stabilised Approach.

The Airspace Infringement Prevention Toolkit is based on a collection of best practices from all over Europe.

ALLCLEAR? is part of the Air Ground Communication (AGC) Safety Improvement Initiative launched by the EUROCONTROL Safety Team in 2004. It builds on the recommendations and best-practices presented in the AGC European Action Plan. Welcome Pilots and Controllers Enhance your radio communication skills with the ALLCLEAR? toolkit.

SKYclips are a growing collection of short animations of around 2 minutes duration which focus on a single safety topic in aviation.

SKYclips (new) SKYclips are a growing collection of short animations of around 2 minutes duration which focus on a single safety topic in aviation. Human Factors Integration in ATM System Design In aviation, Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E) is traditionally closely linked to safety. The way safety is understood in the discipline of HF/E determines how HF/E approaches system design.

Description The Single European Sky is an European initiative aimed to enhance safety and efficiency of air transport in Europe by restructuring European airspace as a function of air traffic flows and by reducing the fragmentation of the air traffic management in Europe. The first legislative package (SES I) adopted in 2004 comprises four basic regulations, which reinforce safety and foster the restructuring of European airspace and air navigation services. The regulations provide the framework for the creation of additional capacity and for improved efficiency and interoperability of ATM system in Europe. The second legislative package (SES II) adopted in 2009 comprises two regulations aimed at improving the performance of the European aviation system and extending EASA remit to airports, Air Traffic Management and Air Navigation Services Read the lead article about the Single European Sky.

Description The Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) was founded in 1997 with a goal to reduce the commercial aviation fatality risk in the United States by 80 percent by 2007. To achieve this ambitious goal, the CAST developed and started implementing a comprehensive Safety Enhancement Plan. By 2007, CAST was able to report that, by implementing the most promising safety enhancements, the fatality rate of commercial air travel in the United States was reduced by 83 percent. CAST continues to develop, evaluate and add Safety Enhancements to the CAST Plan for continuing fatality risk reduction. CAST Safety Enhancement Plan provides access to the description of each Safety Enhancement and the related other resources. In addition, there are a number of Safety Enhancements Reserved for Future Implementation (SERFIs) Public versions of the CAST Reports that generated these Safety Enhancements will be posted as they become available.
