The BeCA 2015 Safety Survey is now closed. We would like to thank all respondents for their participation. We received over 400 replies from airline pilots employed by all Belgium-based operators. Currently we are in the process of analysing the data.

In view of the new regulation EU 376/2014 on the reporting, analysis and follow-up of occurrences in civil aviation – applicable as from 15 November 2015, given the adoption of an occurrence list by the Commission – BeCA conducted a safety survey to benchmark the level of Safety Culture within Belgium-based operators.

This survey consisted of 50 questions covering 7 topics:

• Safety Commitment
• Just Culture
• Safety Management System (SMS)
• Reporting
• Fatigue
• Flight Data Monitoring (FDM)
• and a risk study – conducted by City University (London)

The target audience was all professional Belgian airline pilots. The questionnaire used Google Forms and was processed anonymously, except for some basic identification such as function, company and years of experience. The survey ran from 15 February till 31 March 2015.
