The Civil Aviation Authority reviews the outcome of most of the Airways Corporation investigations into notified airspace occurrences which involve causal components attributable to ATS. This is to ensure the implementation of appropriate corrective actions and to monitor the effectiveness of their own internal investigation system.
Airspace occurrences are notified to the Authority both by the Airways Corporation and by pilots. Any occurrences notified by pilots, involving ATS causal elements, and not already detected by the Airways Corporation are referred to the Corporation for investigation. Any occurrences with causal factors attributed by the Corporation to pilots are reviewed by the Authority for any element of ATS cause. If any such elements are found they are referred back to the Corporation for investigation.
The Civil Aviation Authority can also choose to carry out its own independent investigation into any airspace occurrence.
The Civil Aviation Authority also carried out its own investigations into airspace occurrences which have causal components which are pilot attributable.
The Civil Aviation Authority is also currently conducting a joint project with the Airways Corporation with the objective of reducing the number of airspace incidents. The project involves review of the systems used by the Authority and the Airways Corporation for notification of occurrences, identification of causal factors, implementation of appropriate corrective actions, investigation reporting and meaningful measurement of safety.
