A review of the occurrence reporting system proposed by EASA Part-145

JAR-145 Amendment 5 and EASA Part-145 are a welcome improvement for safety management, however, this does not mean that the system is now perfect. Therefore, this article has three intentions: (1) to conduct a critical review of the Occurrence Reporting System proposed by EASA Part-145 compared to a prototypical reporting management system, (2) to explore the role of EASA in the management of reporting aircraft safety, and (3) to offer guidance for new requirements of an effective Occurrence Management System within the scope of EASA Part-145.A.60.
