CAA ROLLS OUT DIGITAL SAFETY OCCURRENCE REPORTING SYSTEM
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has rolled out the Digital Safety Occurrence Reporting System (DSORS) to the Zambian aviation industry, strengthening the way safety occurrences are reported, analysed and managed.
DSORS provides airlines, aircraft operators, service providers and other aviation stakeholders with a faster, simpler and more secure way of reporting safety occurrences such as runway incursions, bird strikes, FOD, fuel spills, equipment failures and wildlife hazards.
The system will enable CAA to identify emerging safety risks earlier, analyse trends and support timely corrective action before incidents develop into accidents.
Speaking during the rollout, CAA Director General Captain Derrick F. Luembe said the system marks an important step in strengthening Zambia’s aviation safety oversight by ensuring that safety information is captured and acted upon in a timely and effective manner.
The rollout aligns with ICAO Annex 19 – Safety Management and supports Zambia’s State Safety Programme by strengthening data-driven safety oversight and promoting a stronger culture of reporting, learning and continuous improvement.
