Promptly issue NOTAMs regarding any limitation or any change on the provision of services followed by the change in civil-military coordination status in short term, even if the issuance of such NOTAMs appear to have no effect neither the airlines flight operations nor the services provided by the State managing the airspace operationally. |

Given that more clarity of the regulations relating to switching on the CVR, in such a way that it ensures the recording of the cockpit voices during checks, technical and operational conversations, and decision making, would be beneficial for safety and safety studies related to cockpit conversations., ICAO should revise and clarify the provisions in Annex 6 Operation of Aircraft and associated guidance material related to switching on the Cockpit voice recorder (CVR). |
Issued: 17-MAR-2021 | To: ICAO | UR-PSR(11) |
Given that information gathering is a key step to conduct flight risk assessment in potentially hazardous military conditions, review and enhance the available guidance material, such as the Risk Assessment Manual for Civil Aircraft Operations Over or Near Conflict Zones, Doc 10084, to provide further assistance to States and aircraft operators on the nature and method of gathering initial information, including its difference with NOTAMs issued. . |
Issued: 17-MAR-2021 | To: ICAO | UR-PSR(12) |
Study the effects of stable and transient conditions in risk assessment, determine the threat level specifications in transient conditions and update the provisions and associated guidance material addressing civil aircraft operating over or near conflict zones accordingly. |

The prevention of accidents would only be achieved through identification of the root causes, issuance of safety recommendations and implementation of the necessary corrective measures. It was challenging to investigate the actions and their root causes within the military sector; thus, the investigation team requested the investigation of the events leading to the missile launch and the corrective actions planned to prevent recurrences. The relevant military sector provided the information required accordingly. This convinced the investigation team of the importance of establishing well-advanced agreements on investigation cooperation with the military authorities. Recognizing the need for timely cooperation during investigations of occurrences involving the military, ICAO should develop or expand guidance material (e.g. MOU) addressing cooperation and coordination betweet States\' accident investigation authorities and the military authorities. |

The EUROCAE ED-62B Minimum Operational Performance Specification for Aircraft Emergency Locator Transmitters provide specifications for the design and manufacture of emergency locating transmitters. The problem with the antenna hardware connections failing between the ELT unit and the ELT antenna is known to the aviation industry. To improve this situation, the ED-62B specification need to be assessed and revised. It is recommended that EUROCAE revisit the EUROCAE ED-62B Minimum Operational Performance Specification for Aircraft Emergency Locator Transmitters to assess if the specification adequately addresses the design of the hardware connecting the automatic ELT unit to the ELT antenna. |

Since during transition from a level of military alertness to a higher one, the risk of whole system is affected by the nature of transition apart from the new conditions, in risk assessment of potentially hazardous military activities to civil aircrafts, in case the types of changes in military alertness conditions or its associated reason has not been frequently experienced before, consider the risk of the misidentification or mistargeting at times closer to transition more cautiously than stable conditions. |
Issued: 17-MAR-2021 | To: States Managing the Airspace | UR-PSR(3) |
Conduct oversight on effective implementation of the measures adopted for the risk management of potentially hazardous military activities and perform periodic exercises for risk assessment based on different types of probable conditions; apply the results obtained from the monitoring and exercises to identify the hidden threats and enhance the risk management accordingly. |

Revise the Standards related to the issuance of NOTAMs in such a way that air navigation service providers promptly issue the NOTAMs in case of any change or restriction imposed in the provision of services due to potentially hazardous military activities or civil-military cooperation considerations independently of the operational application, in a format that these NOTAMs could indicate that the change has been made due to security or military considerations. |
Issued: 17-MAR-2021 | To: ICAO | UR-PSR(7) |
Develop a framework necessary for gathering information on the near-miss accidents and events caused by targeting a civil aircraft, including the provision of definitions and examples, the method of information collection, reporting and sharing. Such database should allow for the revision of relevant standards and guidelines, as appropriate, based on information submitted by States at national, regional and international levels. |
Issued: 17-MAR-2021 | To: ICAO | UR-PSR(8) |
Considering that the initiatives and measures established to minimize the risks caused by potentially hazardous military activities are newer compared to other traditional safety measures, develop and/or amend related Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) and Universal Security Audit Programme (USAP) protocol questions as necessary, and prioritize the assessment of those States that should have implemented such measures due to potentially hazardous military activities in their airspace. |
Issued: 17-MAR-2021 | To: ICAO | UR-PSR(9) |
Support and encourage States to improve the efficiency of risk assessment of civil aircraft operations over or near conflict zones, and civil-military coordination with due consideration of the regional priorities and models. |
