Flight Safety or Aviation safety

5206

One thing we have always been good at in Mod is causing confusion with alternative definitions. I don't have the publication to hand, it's Sunday and I'm at home, but look up the definition of Flight Safety in JSP553. I believe that you are really talking about improving is what the MoD now (officially) refers to as Aviation Safety, the definition of which is:

Aviation Safety. The scope of aviation safety covers every activity that could impact on the ability to deliver safe aviation. It includes:
- The design, manufacture, build, maintenance and support of aircraft
- Operating aircraft
- Support to aircraft operation including, for example, infrastructure, air traffic management and emergency services
- Provision of appropriately trained and competent personnel.

Aviation safety is achieved when the operation of aircraft poses no significant risk to aircrew, ground crew, passengers, other airspace users or to the general public over which such aircraft are flown.

According to 553 Flight Safety IIRC is about the process of review and continuous improvement.

Any Help ?
