Conclusion
Outline
Why RASGs? Improving the safety of the Global Air Transport System is ICAO’s
guiding and most fundamental Strategic Objective.
ICAO strives to achieve a balance between identified and assessedrisk and the requirements of practical and achievable mitigationstrategies.
Addressing and harmonizing regional flight safety issues (PIRGs,COSCAPs, ACAC, IATA, CANSO, DGCA,..).
A new body to monitor progress, coordinate actions among Statesto support the implementation of the Global Aviation Safety Plan(GASP).
Ensuring effective coordination and cooperation between allstakeholders.
Establishment of ICAO RASGs
On 25 May 2010, the 190th Session of the ICAO Councilapproved the establishment of the following RASGs:
• RASG-PA for the Caribbean, South American, and NorthAmerican regions (including Central America);
• RASG-EUR for the European Region;
• RASG-APAC for the Asia Pacific Region;
• RASG-AFI for the African Region and
• RASG-MID for the Middle East Region.
To support a regional performance framework for themanagement of safety.
Establishment of ICAO RASGs
RASG-MID has been established following the ICAO Councildirective and the Middle East Directors General of CivilAviation meeting agreement (DGCA-MID/1, United ArabEmirates, 22-24 March 2011).
To enhance safety in the Middle East Region and support theimplementation of the GASP by: ensuring effective coordination and cooperation between all
stakeholders;
avoiding duplication of efforts;
sharing of resources; and
monitoring progress in the implementation of the GASP (MIDRegion Safety Strategy).

monitoring progress in the implementation of the GASP (MIDRegion Safety Strategy).
RASG-MID
RASG-MIDHOW WE CAN ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVE?
analyze safety information and hazards to civil aviationat the regional level;
develop the MID Annual Safety Report;
facilitate the sharing of safety information andexperiences among all stakeholders;
reduce duplication of efforts by encouragingcollaboration, cooperation and resource sharing (jointorganization of Safety events such as Safety Summit);
32
RASG-MIDHOW WE CAN ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVE?
identify short and medium term regional safety prioritiesand initiatives;
identify possible mitigation measures;
develop Safety Enhancement Initiatives (SEIs) related tothe identified Focus Areas (FAs) as well as other safetyissues such as SSP/SMS, AGA, etc.
provide recommended actions through the developmentof Detailed Implementation Plans (DIPs) for each SEI, ina prioritized manner;
monitor the implementation of DIPs

CONCLUSION
• The RASG-MID has been established with the mainobjective of enhancing safety in the Middle EastRegion and support the implementation of the GASPby ensuring effective coordination andcooperation between all stakeholders.
• The RASG-MID should ensure that all safetyactivities at the regional and sub-regional levelare properly coordinated to avoid duplication ofefforts by encouraging collaboration, cooperationand resource sharing.

MONITORING OF SAFETY PERFORMANCE
40
“You can’t manage what you can’t measure.”
MONITORING OF SAFETY PERFORMANCE ICAO and the RASGs
publish annual SafetyReports to provide regularupdates on the level ofprogress achieved withrespect to the GASPobjectives throughmeasurement of reactive,proactive and predictivesafety indicators.
41
MONITORING OF SAFETY PERFORMANCE• An analysis of multiple safety
indicators is essential to assesssafety performance globally aswell as at the regional levels
• Performance Dashboards to drivethe implementation of targets inthe Regions and continuallypromote the good work that isbeing done by all stakeholders
• USOAP EI, SSC, Safety records,Certification of ADs and SSP
42
MID REGION SAFETY STRATEGY DGCA-MID/2 reiterated the need to
establish regional and national safetypriorities and targets in line with theGASP
DGCA-MID/2 endorsed the MIDRegion Safety Strategy, which wasdeveloped by the First MID RegionSafety Summit (Bahrain, 28-29 April2013)
The RASG-MID is the governing bodyresponsible for the review and updateof the MID Region Safety Strategy, asdeemed necessary
43
Strategic Safety Objective
Continuous improvement of aviationsafety through a progressive reduction ofthe number of accidents and relatedfatalities in the MID Region to be in linewith the global average, based onreactive, proactive and predictive safetymanagement practices.
44
MID Region Safety Objectives
MID Region safety objectives are in line withthe global safety objectives and addressspecific safety risks identified within theframework of RASG-MID, based on theanalysis of available safety data
45
METRICS/THEMES
1. Accidents and serious incidents;2. Runway and Ground Safety (RGS);3. In-Flight Damage (IFD);4. Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I);5. Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT);6. Safety oversight capabilities (USOAP-CMA, IOSA and
ISAGO);7. Aerodrome Certification; and8. SSP/SMS Implementation.
46
INITIAL VERSION OF THE SAFETY STRATEGY
RASG-MID noted that:• Indicators and targets were determined based on statistics of
one year• Fluctuating trends from year to year• Some of the initial safety indicators and targets were not
associated to the global rates of accidents• No IFD-related accident in 2011 and 2012. RASG-MID agreed:• that the RSC consider the removal of IFD from the MID
Region Safety Strategy• an additional Safety Indicator for the monitoring of SSP
implementation “Number of States having completed the SSPgap analysis on iSTARS”
• the RSC should review and amend as deemed necessary theMID Region Safety Strategy
47
REVISED VERSION OF THE SAFETY STRATEGY
• States and stakeholders to providenecessary information/feedback.
• The RSC and its subsidiary bodies startedto review the strategy and proposenecessary amendments/improvements
• The Safety Summit is the best opportunityto finalize the Strategy
48
REVISED VERSION OF THE SAFETY STRATEGY RGS Session• To review the safety indicators and
targets related to Runway Safety andaerodrome certification
• The RGS WG/1 meeting (Cairo, 7-9April 2014) has reviewed theStrategy and proposed somechanges
• Moderator of the Session toconsolidate all inputs and proposenecessary amendments
