in helping Members States fulfil
their responsibilities relative to the
implementation of safety regulations
and to look ahead to the challenges
that lie ahead as the USOAP
enters a new and exciting phase
of its evolution, in line with the
tremendous pressures of renewed
growth in traffic and the endless
possibilities offered by electronic
communications.
A mutually beneficial
relations hip
The ICAO USOAP was first launched on
1 January 1999, pursuant to a resolution
of the Assembly of ICAO. The mandatory
Programme superseded the
voluntary safety oversight assessment
programme established in 1995. Since
its inception, it has been managed by
the Safety Oversight Audit (SOA) Section
of the Air Navigation Bureau.
The objective of the USOAP is to
promote global aviation safety by
regularly auditing Member States to
determine their safety oversight capability,
assessing the effective implementation
of the critical elements of a
safety oversight system and the status
of States’ implementation of safetyrelevant
ICAO Standards and Recommended
Practices (SARPs), associated
procedures, guidance material and
safety-related practices.
While ICAO and EUROCONTROL have
been coordinating their activities since
the first Agreement of Cooperation
was signed between them in 1996,
specific cooperation in the area of
safety oversight audits has only been
formalised since the parties signed a
Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC)
on 17 March 2005. The purpose of
this MOC is to establish mutual cooperation
in the area of air traffic management
safety oversight audits and
related matters in a manner ensuring
a better use of limited resources, to
avoid a duplication of efforts while
preserving the integrity of both the
USOAP and EUROCONTROL’s Safety

tation Monitoring and Support Programme
(ESIMS). Both programmes
share as their primary objective the
enhancement of aviation safety by
evaluating the implementation of
international standards, identifying
deficiencies, if any, and providing
recommendations for correcting them.
Under the terms of the MOC, cooperation
between ICAO and EUROCONTROL
takes two distinct forms.
The first involves the sharing of data
between the two organisations. Both
ICAO and EUROCONTROL exchange
annual audit schedules so that audits
do not overlap and synergies are
maximised. Both parties also share
information regarding audit missions
completed, dates of issuance of final
audit reports and dates of reception
of Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) from
audited States. The SOA has been given
full access to ESIMS audit reports
and, conversely, ESIMS has full access
to USOAP audit reports. This information
has helped both ICAO and EUROCONTROL
identify and address lessons
learned from one another’s audits.
The SOA has also found the information
contained in ESIMS audit reports
particularly useful when preparing its
own USOAP audits.
Beyond the sharing of data, the MOC
includes the provision by EUROCONTROL
of expert assistance to ICAO.
Under the terms of the agreement,
ICAO may request the participation
of EUROCONTROL experts to act as
ICAO audit team members under the
UOSAP. These experts in air traffic
management and ground aids are
trained ESIMS and USOAP auditors. A
number of experts have assisted the
SOA in the conduct of USOAP audits
since the MOC was signed and there
are currently six of them on the SOA’s
roster of available auditors.
EUROCONTROL’s support to ICAO
and the Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme
While access to a pool of knowledgeable
and skilled EUROCONTROL experts
is obviously advantageous to
ICAO, the experts who participate in
USOAP audit missions also gain valuable
skills and knowledge through
their experience with the USOAP.
Cooperation between EUROCONTROL
and ICAO has contributed greatly towards
their mutual goal of improving
the safety of civil aviation.

The cycle of USOAP CSA audits began
in 2005 and will be completed at
the end of 2010. ICAO is now looking
ahead to the implementation of
a USOAP Continuous Monitoring Approach
(CMA), which was adopted
as the way forward by the Council of
ICAO during its 187th Session. This
new, more proactive, approach will
