Line Operations Safety Assessments (LOSA) Managing risks has become increasingly important in modern organizations. The aviation industry is maturing in its preference for proactive intervention over post-accident remediation. Systems such as National Aeronautics and Space Administration Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) and the Maintenance Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) encourage ...
We are the original architects of the Line Operations Safety Audit methodology. With over 25 years of experience in TEM education and LOSA implementation, we are driven by one purpose, vision, and mission.
LOSA provides a way to assess the level of organisational resilience to systemic threats in accordance with the principles of a data-driven approach. LOSA uses trained observers to collect data about pilot behaviour and its situational context on “normal” flights from supernumerary seats on the flight deck.
The Air Force Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) is a non-punitive, identity-protected, peer-to-peer observation program that employs a standardized methodology to provide leaders and aircrews with information to assist in managing systemic operational risk.
A Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) is a formal process that requires expert and highly trained observers to observe operations in real-time and to collect safety-related data on environmental conditions, operational complexity, and human performance. LOSA is seen as an important way to help develop countermeasures to operational errors.
PurPOsE This guideline is a general reference guide for preparing for and implementing a Maintenance Line Operations Safety Assessment (M-LOSA) program or Ramp LOSA (R-LOSA) program. The intended target audiences of this guideline are LOSA program managers and members of the implementation team. To be effective, a LOSA program needs to address each individual organization’s specific needs ...
