to keep its own safety regulations, its air navigation equipment and operations compliant with those established by the International Civil
Aviation Organization ICAO.
The operation of safetyrelated air traffic services within Jordan must be on the basis of achieving levels of safety which are both publicly and
politically acceptable and this has to be demonstrated to all parties.
In Jordan the responsibility for the safety of Air Navigation Services ANS is addressed mainly in terms of two prime safety functions:
ATM Safety Management the prime responsibility for the safety of an ATM service lies with the provider of the service;
ANS Safety Regulation it is the responsibility of the state to ensure that all ANS provided are tolerably safe. This function is carried out by
the Air Navigation Safety and Standards Directorate ANSSD of Jordan Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission in the interest of public
safety.
SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of the Air Navigation Safety and Standards Directorate:
To ensure that high safety standards are set and achieved in the provision of Air Navigation Services;
To promote continuous safety improvement.
OBJECTIVE OF SAFETY REGULATION
The objective of Safety Regulation in ANS is to improve safety levels by ensuring that the numbers of ANS induced accidents, and of serious or
riskbearing incidents, do not increase and where possible decrease.
REGULATORY PRINCIPLES
Safety regulation is founded on a number of concepts that may be summarized as follows:
An ANS regulatory function, independent of the service provider, shall monitor safety standards. Safety regulation shall be organizationally
separate from the planning, implementation and provision of ANS.
ANSSD shall set and oversee regulatory requirements in the interests of the safety of ANS.
Safety regulatory requirements shall be neither unduly prescriptive nor preventing innovation.
Safety regulation shall allow for alternative means of compliance with safety regulatory requirements where equivalent safety assurance is
provided.
The relationship between regulator and service provider should be that of a partnership set up to achieve a common safety goal.
Regulatory intervention shall be kept to the minimum practical level consistent with effective safety regulation.
SCOPE OF REGULATION
ANS Safety Regulation applies to the safety of ANS used for Civil Aviation in Jordan Airspace.
FUNCTION OF ANS SAFETY REGULATOR
The ANS safety regulator is responsible for:

Establishing a national safety regulatory framework, including safety regulatory policies, objectives and directives;
Setting minimum acceptable levels of safety.
Defining applicable national safety regulatory requirements, including those necessary to meet international commitments;
Specifying relevant standards and practices that support or complement the ICAO and National requirements;
Ensuring that minimum acceptable levels of safety are met by ATM service providers;
Ensuring ongoing compliance with national safety regulatory objectives and requirements.

METHODS OF REGULATION

Regulation shall be carried out on all safetyrelated aspects of the systems under the control of the Service Provider. This regulation shall be
achieved principally by rulemaking and oversight.

Rulemaking

Rulemaking is the process by which safety objectives and requirements are set. It consists of the definition of applicable requirements and
associated standards and practices to ensure that both national minimum levels of safety and regulatory provisions that result from
international commitments are observed.

Safety Oversight

Oversight may be defined as the function undertaken by a designated authority to verify that safety regularity objectives and requirements are
effectively met.
