A influência da ASOCEA na segurança operacional do Sistema de Controle do Espaço Aéreo Brasileiro (SISCEAB)

Abstract

In March 2008, the first actions were established for the implementation of a permanent system of operational safety protocol, culminating with the development of actions that included the creation of an organization, which became the Operational Safety Advisory for the Airspace Control. (ASOCEA), of direct and immediate assistance to the Air Force Commander regarding the topic addressed in this work. The creation of ASOCEA was intended to carry out inspections in SISCEAB Organs, employing inspectors trained and qualified specifically for the performance of the function, making use of protocols developed in accordance with the philosophy employed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) program. The benefits arising from the creation of ASOCEA were evidenced by the high degree of compliance identified during the audit carried out by the ICAO in 2009, placing Brazil among the highest levels of operational safety in world aviation. Today, fully established, ASOCEA has fulfilled its mission of contributing to maintaining Brazil among the safest countries in the provision of air navigation services and security against acts of unlawful interference. With the improvement of operational procedures in air navigation service providers (PSNA), we can see a decrease in air accidents in Brazil over the last few years, a continuous improvement in results, making our country one of the safest for aviation.
