5 Introduction INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to provide the ISAGO registered providers, ISAGO pool member airlines and IATA relevant parties with detailed information about the result of the ISAGO corporate and station audits conducted during the period from May 2010 to September 2011 based on GOSM Edition 2 Revision 0. This presentation aims to provide a factual observation of the situation through the audit results. 79 audit reports (28 corporate, 13 combined and 38 station) have been included in the analyses covering all 8 regions NATAM, LATAM, MENA, CHINA, ASPAC, EUROPE, RUSSIA & CIS Countries and AFRICA. The 79 audits resulted in 497 corporate findings, 4186 station findings and 1156 combined findings. All were successfully addressed and closed within the pre-defined time frame. The overall results that cover the 8 ISAGO disciplines (see below) together are shown to give a global overview of the results of the ISAGO program. The results are produced under a systemic approach looking at the global results for each individual ISAGO discipline applicable to corporate and station audits. Then the analysis of the findings is detailed per region, per sub-section within the considered discipline. Eventually the top 10 findings are listed to give a view on the highest occurrences. Attention should be paid not to draw direct conclusions from the graphs that are presented as it would require a deeper analysis of the root causes for each listed finding and the non conformities observed should be put back into the context to avoid any mistaking conclusion. 1 ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ORM-H) 1 Management and Control 2 Documentation and Records 3 Safety and Quality Management 4 Emergency Response 5 Training and Qualification 6 Security management 7 Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Management 8 Aircraft Turnaround Coordination Note: OMS auditing section is applicable to corporate audits only. 2 ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ORM-S, ORM-HS) 1 Management and Control 2 Station Documentation and Records 3 Station Safety Management 4 Station Event Response 5 Station Training and Qualification 6 Station Security management 7 Station GSE Management 8 Unit Load Device (ULD) Management 9 Airside Practices and Procedures 10 Aircraft Turnaround Coordination 3 LOAD CONTROL (LOD) 1 Load Control Process 4 PASSENGER HANDLING (PAX) 1 Passenger Handling Operations 5 BAGGAGE HANDLING (BAG) 1 Baggage Handling Operations 6 AIRCRAFT HANDLING AND LOADING (HDL) 1 Aircraft Handling and Servicing Operations 2 Aircraft Loading Operations 7 AIRCRAFT GROUND MOVEMENT (AGM) 1 Aircraft Ground Movement Operations 2 Aircraft Nose Gear-controlled Pushback and Towing Operations 3 Aircraft Main Gear-controlled Pushback Operations 4 Aircraft Powerback Operations 8 CARGO AND MAIL HANDLING (CGM) 1 Cargo/Mail Acceptance and Handling 2 Cargo Security Note: STM, LOD, PAX, BAG, HDL, AGM and CGM auditing sections are applicable to station audits only.
