ANAC Safety Programme (PSOE-ANAC)
In accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) guidelines contained in Annex 19 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, each signatory State shall establish and maintain a State Safety Programme (SSP) compatible with the size and complexity of its system of civil aviation.
In order to meet this requirement and considering the distribution of civil aviation responsibilities between the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) and the Aeronautical Command (COMAER), Brazil published the Brazilian Civil Aviation Safety Programme (PSO-BR) in 2009, indicating the need, both ANAC and COMAER, to develop their respective Specific Safety Program.
Following the guidelines of Annex 19, ANAC published the first version of its Specific Safety Programme in 2009. The programme was reformulated six years later, in a complete revision process that originated the current version of the document: ANAC Safety Programme (English version)
Safety Policy - ANAC
ANAC’s Safety Policy has as main objective promoting good practices and positive safety culture in the civil aviation system. The Policy, which was approved by the Board of Directors of ANAC on October 18th, 2016, reinforces the importance of the continuity of the Specific Safety Program of the Agency, representing ANAC's commitment to the search for continuous improvement in safety levels of Brazilian civil aviation.
