GTA Policies

Safety policy

ORA.GEN.200(a)(1)(2)(3), AMC1 ORA.GEN.200(a)(2), Reg. (EU) 376/2014, ICAO Annex 19, GACAR 142 , RAC 142

Safety is the highest priority of Global Training Aviation (GTA) and is not subordinated to commercial, operational or financial pressures. Where a conflict exists between safety and other objectives, safety prevails.
GTA manages safety proactively and systematically and undertakes the following commitments:

  • To provide the human and material resources necessary to manage safety and to improve in order to achieve the highest levels of safety.
  • To identify hazards and to assess and mitigate risks on a continuous basis, maintaining an occurrence reporting system.
  • To apply a just culture: personnel may report occurrences without fear of sanction for reasonable acts or omissions commensurate with their training and experience, and no one shall be sanctioned for reporting something that would not otherwise have been detected; gross negligence, wilful violations and destructive acts shall not be tolerated (Art. 16 of Reg. (EU) 376/2014).
  • To use occurrence reporting and investigation to improve safety, not to attribute blame to individuals.
  • To make safety a primary responsibility of all managers and supervisors of the organisation, at all levels.
  • To comply with the applicable legislation and standards and to consider industry best practices.
  • To measure safety performance by means of indicators (SPI) and to improve it continuously.
  • To ensure that personnel have the competence and safety training appropriate to their function, and to require providers and subcontractors to comply with GTA’s safety standards.
  • To maintain an Emergency Response Plan (ERP, OMM-B 10).
This policy is communicated and applied at all levels of the organisation, and is reviewed at each Safety Review Board (SRB) to ensure its adequacy.

Quality and compliance monitoring policy

ORA.GEN.200(a)(1)(2)(3), AMC1 ORA.GEN.200(a)(2), Reg. (EU) 376/2014, ICAO Annex 19, GACAR 142 , RAC 142

Global Training Aviation (GTA), an ATO approved by AESA and holder of the approvals of the other authorities under which it operates, is committed to delivering safe, high-quality aviation training, complying with all the applicable regulatory requirements and the expectations of its clients.

  • To comply with the requirements of its ATO certificate and of the other approvals, the requirements of ISO 9001 and the applicable training standards.
  • To maintain a Compliance Monitoring System (CMS) that independently verifies regulatory compliance, identifies non-conformities and ensures, through corrective actions and their follow-up, the feedback to the Accountable Manager.
  • To apply a process-based approach and risk-based thinking, addressing the risks and opportunities that may affect the conformity of the services and client satisfaction.
  • To establish performance indicators that allow the effectiveness of the processes to be evaluated and improved.
  • To allocate the resources necessary to achieve these objectives.
  • To orient the activity towards client satisfaction and the continuous improvement of the management system.

GTA establishes measurable quality objectives, aligned with this policy, which are defined and reviewed at the Safety Review Board (SRB) and maintained in the DB-SMS-SPI indicators database.

This policy is communicated and applied at all levels of the organisation and is available to the relevant interested parties. GTA will review this policy with each publication of this manual that contains it and, if necessary, during the SRB.
