International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex – 19 & DOC 9859 requires from all contracting states to establish a mechanism of Collection & Analysis of Safety Data in relation to Aircrafts and Airport Operations.

In order to comply state obligations as per aforementioned ICAO Docs
Safety Data Collection and Processing Systems (SDCPS) software has been developed at National level to capture, store, aggregate safety data / information and enable the analysis to support their safety performance management activities in the interest of flight safety.
