GM2 ORO.GEN.200(a)(2) Management system

Q: What is recommended for the safety policy required by ORO.GEN.200 when a data source needed for safety risk management is also used for purposes other than safety risk management?

It is recommended that the safety policy provide for consistent protection of this data source when it is used for purposes other than safety risk management.

Q: Give an example from the section where flight data is used for both a safety-related programme and other non-safety programmes, and explain what the safety policy should consistently address in that example.

The example is using flight data for a flight data monitoring programme (protection of the data source is required by ORO.AOC.130 and SPA.HOFO.145) and for other programmes such as a fuel efficiency programme or a preventive maintenance programme. In this example, the safety policy should consistently address the protection of flight crew identity across all the programmes in which flight data is used.

SAFETY POLICY REGARDING THE USE OF DATA FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN SAFETY RISK MANAGEMENT

If a data source that is needed to support safety risk management is required to be protected, then it is recommended that the safety policy required by point ORO.GEN.200 provide for consistent protection of this data source when it is used for purposes other than safety risk management. An example is using flight data for a flight data monitoring programme (protection of the data source is required by points ORO.AOC.130 and SPA.HOFO.145) and for other programmes, such as a fuel efficiency programme or a preventive maintenance programme. In this example, the safety policy consistently addresses the protection of flight crew identity across all the programmes in which flight data is used.
