What is Risk Based Oversight?
Risk Based Oversight, or Performance Based Regulation as it is commonly known in the UK, refers to a proactive approach employed by regulatory authorities and aviation organisations to prioritize and allocate resources based on the level of risk associated with different activities and entities within the aviation industry. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach, risk-based oversight focuses on identifying and managing risks effectively by assessing the likelihood and potential impact of adverse events. This approach allows authorities to concentrate their efforts on areas of higher risk, such as safety-critical operations, while employing less stringent oversight for lower-risk activities. By tailoring oversight measures to specific risks, risk-based oversight aims to enhance safety and operational efficiency in aviation while optimising resource allocation and minimizing unnecessary burdens on the industry.
Course Overview
Compliance based oversight is a good starting point for a regulator to understand an Entity or organisation, however, with more demands being placed on the aviation industry, compliance based oversight may no longer be enough to fully understand the aviation safety threats and risks that exist.
This Risk Based Oversight course will give delegates a foundation of the principles of a regulatory risk and performance based oversight system.
This course is suitable for anyone who requires a generic overview of risk based surveillance principles.

By the end of this course, delegates will demonstrate knowledge of the following through group discussion and syndicate exercises:
- How to measure an Entity to determine baseline oversight levels.
- Identification of the key components of a risk based oversight audit cycle.
- The importance of the collaboration between the Entity oversight team members to fully determine the risk picture.
- Analytical techniques used to produce safety performance indicators to monitor trends and identify risks
- The fundamental principles of risk measuring and the importance it plays in RBO.
- The concept of varying future oversight based on risk and performance profiles.
Delegates should have a basic knowledge of Safety Management Systems and risk management principles.

Articles: The UK CAA’s journey to adopt risk-based surveillance
We have published some short articles that explore four important elements that the UK CAA believes are necessary to become an effective risk-based regulator.
CAP1184: The transformation to Performance-Based Regulation
In 2014, the UK CAA published CAP1184, detailing how the UK was transitioning to become a performance/risk-based regulator. The UK industry fed back how it believed PBR would make the CAA more proportionate and targeted, and have a greater degree of commercial awareness and be more transparent about how money is spent.
