The SMS hazard-and-occurrence record (PHASE-1 §10) is the source-of-record for the operator's annual state-safety-program submission. ## §3 Runway-Incursion-Prevention Discipline (ICAO Doc 9870 + EUROCAE ED-99) The runway-incursion-prevention discipline: - ICAO Doc 9870 Local Runway Safety Team (LRST) with ATC, airline, ground-handler, airport, and regulator participation. - A-SMGCS deployment per EUROCAE ED-87 (Levels 1-2 surveillance and routing) + ED-99 (Levels 3-4 guidance and control with conflict alerting). - Stop-bar discipline at runway-holding positions. - Hot-spot identification and publication on the airport AIP entry. - Pilot-and-controller phraseology per ICAO Doc 4444 PANS-ATM. ## §4 ARFF Response-Time Discipline (ICAO Annex 14 §9.2 + Doc 9137 Pt 1) The ARFF discipline: - ARFF category determined per Annex 14 §9.2.2 (aircraft length / fuselage width). - Required extinguishing agent quantity per Annex 14 §9.2.10. - Response time — first ARFF vehicle arrives at the end of any operational runway within 3 minutes; the rest of the response within 4 minutes. - Annual full-scale emergency exercise per Annex 14 §9.1. ## §5 Wildlife-Hazard-Management Discipline (Doc 9137 Pt 3) The wildlife-hazard-management discipline: - Wildlife Hazard Assessment (WHA) per ICAO Doc 9137 Part 3 + FAA AC 150/5200-32. - Wildlife Hazard Management Plan (WHMP) per US FAA 14 CFR 139.337 (US-jurisdiction). - Strike-data submission to FAA Form 5200-7 and the ICAO IBIS database. - Habitat-modification, harassment, lethal-control, and air-traffic-control coordination measures. ## §6 FOD-Control Discipline The FOD discipline: - Daily runway-and-taxiway inspections per Annex 14 Chapter 10 + Doc 9137 Pt 9. - Vehicle-mounted runway sweeps as appropriate. - Automated FOD-detection systems in deployment- scope airports (CAT-II/III ILS-served operations often justify the investment). - FOD-removal logs maintained for examination. ## §7 De-Icing Discipline (SAE AS 6286 + AEA) The de-icing discipline: - Deicer training and qualification per SAE AS 6286. - Fluid-application records per the AEA Recommendations for De-Icing / Anti-Icing of Aircraft on the Ground. - Holdover-time tables specific to fluid type, OAT, and precipitation per the AEA / FAA / TC publications. - Post-deicing aircraft check (the contamination- free condition verified before take-off). ## §8 A-CDM Discipline (IATA RP 1750) The A-CDM discipline operationalises the 16- milestone exchange among airline, ground-handler, ANSP, and airport. The operator's A-CDM platform publishes target off-block time (TOBT), target start-up approval time (TSAT), and calculated take- off time (CTOT) updates. Target predictability improves arrival / departure punctuality. ## §9 Ground-Handling Discipline (IATA AHM) The IATA AHM discipline: - Standard Ground Handling Agreement (AHM 810) is the contracting baseline. - Service specifications (AHM 911 / 913 / 920) govern the per-service performance. - Training-and-competency standards per AHM 1110. - IATA Resolution 753 bag-tracking is exercised at acquisition, load, transfer, and arrival. - IGOM (IATA Ground Operations Manual) operational procedures. ## §10 Airport-Emergency-Plan Discipline The AEP discipline: - Plan content per Annex 14 §9.1 + Doc 9137 Pt 7. - Coverage — aircraft accident on/off aerodrome, structural fire, dangerous goods incident, natural disaster, bomb threat, medical emergency. - Drill cadence — biennial full-scale, annual partial-scale, quarterly tabletop. - Lessons-learned from drills feed the plan revision cycle. ## §11 Mandatory-Occurrence-Reporting Discipline For EU-jurisdiction operators Reg (EU) 376/2014: - Mandatory occurrence reports (MOR) filed within 72 hours via the eccairs reporting system. - Voluntary occurrence reports filed under the just-culture provisions. - The European Central Repository (ECR) ingests all MORs; sanitised data feeds the Annex 19 state-safety-program reviews. - For KR-jurisdiction the equivalent KR 항공안전법 의무보고 + 자율보고 channels apply. ## §12 SeMS Discipline (ICAO Annex 17) The Security Management System (SeMS) discipline: - Annex 17 covers the security baseline at airports — access control, perimeter security, security screening of passengers and cargo, vehicle permits, and crisis-management. - The operator's security programme is approved by the national-civil-aviation-authority security branch. - TSA SD requirements (US-jurisdiction) and the EU Reg (EU) 2015/1998 implementing rules (EU-jurisdiction) operationalise the discipline. ## §13 Identity, Time and Audit Discipline NTPv4 stratum-2 or better is the operator's clock baseline. Audit-events are emitted for every A-CDM milestone update, ground-handling service event, runway-incursion / wildlife-strike / FOD detection, AEP activation, SMS report, and supervisory correspondence. ## §14 Friction Measurement and Runway Surface Condition Discipline The runway-surface-condition discipline: - Runway-friction measurements per ICAO Annex 14 Appendix 5 + Doc 9981 Procedures for Air Navigation — friction-measurement equipment, measurement cadence (after every snow event, after every rain event in winter), and minimum-friction-level reporting. - Global Reporting Format (GRF) introduced in ICAO Annex 14 Amendment 14B / Doc 10064 — runway- condition-code (RWYCC) reporting in SNOWTAM. - Snow-and-ice-control plan per Annex 14 Chapter 10 + Doc 9137 Pt 2 (now consolidated into Doc 9981). - Coordination with the airline operations centre for take-off/landing performance computations using the reported RWYCC. ## §15 Disabled Aircraft Removal and Aerodrome Recovery Discipline Per ICAO Annex 14 §9.3 + Doc 9137 Pt 5: - Disabled-aircraft-removal plan covering the largest aircraft normally using the aerodrome. - Mutual-aid agreement with the airline / airframer's recovery team for major recovery operations. - Spare runway or alternate-operations protocol during the recovery window. - Notice-to-airmen (NOTAM) coordination. ## §16 Aerodrome Mapping Database (AMDB) Discipline The AMDB discipline: - AMDB constructed and maintained per RTCA DO-272F / EUROCAE ED-99B specifications. - AMDB feeds the airport's Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) consumers and the A-SMGCS surface display. - Update cycles aligned with the AIRAC cycle (28-day) so AMDB consumers receive consistent versioning. - Coordination with the national AIS authority for AMDB publication through the AIP. ## §17 Aerodrome Inspection and Self-Audit Discipline The operator's inspection discipline: - Daily inspection of the movement area (runways, taxiways, aprons) per ICAO Annex 14 Chapter 10 + Doc 9137 Pt 9. - Weekly inspection of the airfield-lighting system. - Monthly review of the SMS hazard-and-occurrence register. - Annual self-audit against the operator's certificate basis (FAA 14 CFR Part 139 / EASA Reg 139/2014 / KR 항공안전법). - Findings feed the operator's corrective-action workflow with documented owners and due dates. ## §18 Conformance Implementations claiming PHASE-3 conformance enforce the discipline at every relevant decision point, satisfy the Annex 14 + Annex 19 + Doc 9981 baseline, exercise the SMS / AEP / SeMS / runway-incursion / wildlife-hazard / FOD / de-icing disciplines on the operator's published cadence, and report under EU Reg 376/2014 + 14 CFR Part 139 + KR 항공안전법 의무보고 the operating jurisdiction's regime. --- **Document Information:** - **Version:** 1.0 - **Phase:** 3 — PROTOCOL - **Status:** Stable - **Standard:** WIA-airport-operations - **Last Updated:** 2026-04-28
