AVIATION OVERSIGHT, PINAIGTING NG CAAP

IPINATUPAD ng Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) ang paggamit ng digital Safety Reports Portal mula July 1, 2025, upang mapadali ang pag-uulat ng safety occurrences at suportahan ang agarang pagtukoy at mitigation ng mga peligro sa himpapawid.

Ang Safety Portal ay hinati sa dalawang kategorya: mandatory at voluntary reporting.

Ipinaliwanag ni CAAP spokesman Eric Apolonio na ang mandatory reporting ay sumasakop sa aviation incidents, accidents, serious incidents at iba pang kaganapan na may kinalaman sa kaligtasan. Ang voluntary reporting naman ay sumasakop sa observations ng latent conditions, insights sa human factors, operational anomalies, unsafe situations, suggestions for safety improvements at self-disclosure of non-compliance.

“This mandate is issued in accordance with the Philippine Civil Aviation Regulations (PCAR) and applies to all organizations, personnel, and individuals involved in reporting safety-related events to CAAP, whether mandatory or voluntary. It covers all certificated and approved aviation entities, licensed aviation professionals, and any individual with direct knowledge of aviation safety occurrences,” pahayag pa ni Apolonio.

“While this effort encourages transparency and information sharing, CAAP remains committed to safeguarding the confidentiality and integrity of submitted data, in full compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173),” dagdag pa niya. (Jerry Tan)
