Separation of Aviation Safety and Non-Aviation Risks

In plain language

If you combine your aviation safety risk assessment with other business risks (like financial or reputational risks) in one document, you must clearly separate them so the CAA can easily review the aviation safety hazards.

Requirement as structured

The CAA NZ requires that if an applicant combines aviation safety risks and non-aviation risks in a single document, they must organize the document to clearly distinguish between safety risks and other business risks.

Original regulatory text

Note: A Part 102 organisation’s risk assessment should only cover aviation safety-related risks, as these are the risks that CAA will examine when assessing an exposition, not non- aviation risks such as risks to an organisation’s reputation. Non-aviation risks would ideally have their own risk management processes as part of ordinary business planning. Organisations⁶ who document all risk assessment activities in the one document need to organise that document in such a way that the distinction between safety and other risks are clear.
