Philippines Civil Aviation Authority Unveils New Digital Safety Reporting Portal
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has officially launched its new digital safety reports portal, which is already operational.
As of yesterday, July 1st, this portal aims to enhance the process of reporting safety occurrences and facilitate the swift identification and mitigation of aviation safety risks.
CAAP officials highlight that the portal also fosters transparency and encourages information sharing among relevant agencies.
Compliant with Regulations
In a news release published today, July 2nd, CAAP mentioned that the portal’s mandate complies with Philippine Civil Aviation Regulations (PCAR), applying to all organizations, personnel, and individuals engaged in reporting aviation safety incidents.
According to CAAP’s statement, this safety enhancement initiative is part of a broader strategy to ensure that the Philippines meets global aviation safety standards and best practices.
The portal accommodates submissions through two forms:
- Mandatory Reporting: which includes aviation incidents, accidents, serious incidents, and other safety-related occurrences.
- Voluntary Reporting: which encompasses insights on human factors, operational anomalies, unsafe conditions, suggestions for safety enhancement, and self-reports of non-compliance.
This development represents CAAP’s commitment to improving aviation safety and accountability in the Philippines.
