The European Plan for Aviation Safety
At European Level, one of the most important documents in aviation is the European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS). This document is the regional aviation safety plan for the EASA Member States. It sets out the strategic priorities and enablers. It also highlights the main risks affecting the European aviation system and the necessary actions to mitigate them and improve aviation safety.
The 12th edition of EPAS has now been published with the 2023-2025 Edition.
The EPAS covers a 3 year period and is constantly being reviewed and improved, and is updated on a yearly basis. The plan is an integral part of EASA’s work programme and is developed by EASA in close consultation with the EASA Member States and industry.
The main objective of EPAS is to further improve aviation safety and environmental protection throughout Europe. At the same time it seeks to ensure a level playing field, as well as efficiency/proportionality in regulatory processes.
The EPAS is based on a solid foundation of data and risk analysis.
The European Safety Risk Management (SRM) process is a key part of the EPAS development. More particularly for the systemic and operational priorities.
