ANAC releases the Annual Safety Report 2020

The National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) has made available on its website the Annual Safety Report (RASO) 2020 (available only in Portuguese). The document aims to provide, throughout its sections, information on various aspects of aviation occurrences, especially those occurring between 2016 and 2020. The goal is to promote the continuous improvement of air transport performance and the protection and defense of the sector’s operations.

In its 13^th edition, RASO brings for the first time some parameters already adopted by other benchmark organizations in aviation as the case of Fatality Risk, a metric widely used by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), among other institutions.

For the second consecutive year, the report presents the follow-up of the goals of the Safety Supervision Plan (PSSO) for 2020, the activities of the USOAP-CMA Readiness Program and the Safety Recommendations Management, fundamental initiatives for the airline industry monitoring, for the standardization of the Brazilian aviation norms and practices to international standards and the effective implementation of the lessons learned by the civil aviation system from the evidence arising from the aeronautical occurrences.

In this issue, the results of the monitoring of aviation safety performance were contextualized, from different perspectives, in view of the unprecedented impacts to aviation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

RASO is one of the main instruments that gathers and seeks to communicate relevant information to the management of safety in Brazilian civil aviation. The analysis of the data under different parameters and categorizations helps to identify specific needs for action, both by the Agency and the sector's agents, in order to improve the level of safety of Brazilian civil aviation.
