- Feasibility Study on the implementation of a Safety Management System at euroAtlantic airways under EASA Part MPublication . Monte, Filipe Manuel Martins do; Saúde, José Manuel Mota Lourenço da; Santos, Jorge Esteves Pereira Nunes dos; Menezes, Lídia Assunção Tavares BrandãoIn the last decades, it has been verified an exponential growth in commercial aviation, and there are predictions that the global fleet jets will duplicate in number over the next twenty years. In order to prevent the number of accidents from following the trend, it is necessary to ensure the safety level intended in accordance with industry standards. In this context, considering the improvements verified by the implementation of a Safety Management System in other aspects of the aeronautical sector and given the growing complexity of aircraft technology, as to the related continuing airworthiness requirements, the European Aviation Safety Agency considers a need that Continuing Airworthiness10 Management Organisations proceed with the implementation of a Safety Management System11 . This dissertation thus consists of a feasibility study on the adaptation of euroAtlantic’s Safety Management System so that its implementation incorporates the activities carried out under Part-M12 . It was carried out bibliographic research on safety management systems and management risk systems which helped to understand the processes previously implemented by the company. Subsequently, it was performed an analysis of Opinion 06/201613 issued by European Union Aviation Safety Agency that proposes the integration of a new Annex VC (Part-CAMO) into Regulation 1321/201414 (which contains Part-M requirements). Then it is conducted an individual questionnaire with each of the engineering and planning and operational control staff in order to understand their understanding regarding the companys safety and what it expects from them within that scope. After the initial investigation process, the present research identified different aspects that should be improved in management of airworthiness tasks in order for them to agree with the Safety standards intended by the company in accordance with the regulations that will be imposed; with that in view it proposed measures to achieve that improvement. At a final stage, with the intent of measuring the Safety performance of euroAtlantic respecting the effectiveness of the measures proposed and compliance with the Part-CAMO requirements considered relevant during this dissertation, the present research proposes to the Safety department and the DME, Safety Indicators to be evaluated in the future, as the metric that should be used to measure them and the method to collect the information.
