ALoSP (applicable for SSP & SMS).
Safety Indicators Development and ALoS Performance Monitoring
Instructions for Working Groups:
1 Browse SMM Chapter 3 Appendix 6 "SPI & ALOSP" extract provided (SPI_ALOSP_A6C3_Intro.docx)
2 This exercise is to develop one example of a high consequence SSP/ SMS Safety Performance Indicator chart using
attached SPI (Excel Wsht) in Sheet 3.
3 Elect a group discussion coordinator and also have some one (with laptop) to make entries in the SPI Excel data
sheet (Sheet 3).
4 Browse examples of SPIs for the various sectors, as listed in Sheet 1 (Indicator examples) attached.
5 Decide on one high consequence (accidents/ serious incidents data trend) SPI chart to be developed.
6 Fill out the SPI Excel data sheet (Sheet 3) with required details for your intended SPI chart i.e occurrence numbers
and FH/ FC/ Air or Grd Movements. Actual data preferred, otherwise provide approximate viable figures based on
experience. Customize column descriptions to suit your SPI description.
7 If time permit, develop another lower consequence SPI chart (routine incidents, etc) using the same procedure.
(Browse lower consequence SPI examples column in Sheet 1)
8 Be prepared to share your completed SPI charts and comments with others.

Note 1: Other Process Indicators - Apart from above SSP level Safety Indicators, there may
be other systems level indicators within each operational areas. Examples would include
process or system-specific monitoring indicators in AIR, OPS, AGA etc or indicators
associated with performance-based programs such as fatigue risk management or fuel
management. Such process or system-specific indicators should rightly be administered as
part of the system or process concerned. They may be viewed as specific system or process
level indicators which undergird the higher level SSP monitoring safety indicators. They
should be addressed within the respective system or process manuals/ SOPs as appropriate.
Nevertheless, the criteria for setting alert or target levels for such indicators could preferably
be aligned with that of the SSP level safety indicators where applicable.
Note 2: Selection of Indicators & Settings - The combination (or package) of High and Lower
Consequence Safety Indicators is to be selected by a State according to the scope of their
aviation system. For those Indicators where the suggested Alert or Target levels setting
criteria is not applicable, the State may consider any alternate criteria as appropriate.
General guidance is to set Alerts and Targets that take into consideration recent historical or
current performance.

General guidance is to set Alerts and Targets that take into consideration recent historical or
current performance.
Note 3: Weightage - Alert and Target scores between High and Lower Consequence
indicators are weighted (4, 3, 2, 1) as indicated in the respective header columns. High
consequence indicator "Alert Not Breached" has highest (4 pt) score whilst Lower
consequence indicator "Target Achieved" has lowest (1 pt) score.
Note 4: Overall Score Interpretation - A SSP with 100% overall performance score implies
that the SSP has achieved ALL Target Levels of its Safety Indicators as well as not breached
ANY Alert levels of its Safety Indicators. Conversely, a SSP with 0% overall performance
score implies that the SSP has not achieved ANY Target Levels of its Safety Indicators as
well as having breached ALL Alert levels of its Safety Indicators.
