Safety Recommendations

Safety recommendations are the primary outcome of any technical investigation into serious incidents or accidents. They bridge the gap between determining the circumstances of the event and implementing measures to prevent recurrence. The table below presents safety recommendations formulated at the end of investigations, aimed at improving civil aviation safety.

The responses are classified into six categories:

Fully satisfactory action: This category is assigned when the action taken significantly reduces or eliminates the deficiency. It is possible that a measure different from the one recommended has been adopted to address the deficiency, provided it is deemed acceptable.

Satisfactory intent: This category is assigned when the planned action, once fully implemented, is expected to significantly reduce or eliminate the deficiency, and substantial progress has been made since the recommendation was issued. However, the measures completed to date remain insufficient to mitigate aviation safety risks.

Partially satisfactory action: This category is assigned when the measures taken or planned will help mitigate the deficiency, but will not significantly reduce or eliminate it, and significant progress has been made since the recommendation was issued.

Unsatisfactory action: This category is assigned when no action has been taken and none has been proposed to reduce or eliminate the deficiency. This category may also be assigned when a recommendation has been issued and in circulation for more than five years without any specific action plan or timeline to complete the required safety measures.

Unable to assess: This category is assigned when no response has been provided to the recommendation, or when the response received does not contain sufficient details to allow the Bureau to clearly determine whether the safety deficiency will be mitigated or eliminated.

Not yet assessed: This category is assigned when the recommendation was recently issued and no official response has yet been received, or when it has not yet been formally reviewed by management.
