Enhancement of the Safety (VOICES)
[Purpose] Japan Civil Aviation Bureau(JCAB) operates the Voluntary Information Contributory to Enhancement of the Safety (VOICES) in accordance with the provisions of ICAO Annex 19: Safety Management, in order to collect a wide range of information on civil aviation safety that is not easily captured by the mandatory reporting system. To improve aviation safety, it is very important to collect a lot of information and provide feedback on it. [Operation Summary] This system is administered by a third-party organization (Air…
