Developing Policy for Safe Landings: the Global Reporting Format in Australia

Complete alignment with ICAO is, generally, a good policy to have. Their standards and recommended practices (as well as guidance material) are developed in a thoughtful and considerate way. This process is slow and methodical (perhaps frustratingly so at times). Experts from around the world participate, often in their own time and in addition to their day job, with further support from the ICAO Secretariat. For my part, I enjoy being a part of this process.

But what happens with the standards that don’t quite gel with the operational environment in your state?

Noun-based Regulation

The modern world is definitely in love with its noun-based activities. Each week, a paradigm-shifting approach to some human endeavour is announced with a title like value-based health care or outcome-based education. When I delve into the details, I am generally left either confused as to what they are selling or how they are different at all. Regulation is no different. Just plugging "based regulation" into Google yields, on the first page alone, principle-based, results-based, performance-based, outcomes-based and output-based regulatory approaches.
