RAeS Performance-Based Oversight (PBO) Seminar

Performance-Based Oversight (PBO) of aircraft maintenance is both new and not new.  Industry and Regulators have always collected information to act on deficiencies.  Just complying with a set of rules is never enough to stay safe.  Now, the use of information gathered from multiple sources is being approached in a systematic way.  The one-day conference at the Royal Aeronautical Society Headquarters in London explored the subject from both Industry and Regulators viewpoints.  Some considered Performance-based should be called Risk-based but everyone was focused on continuously improving aviation safety.  Cranfield University conducted a short workshop exercise in the last session.  IFA supported this event seeing the need to promote these important changes widely.
