Research on State Safety Programme Maturity Assessment Model of Civil Aviation

State safety programme (SSP) is an integrated set of regulations and activities aimed at improving civil aviation safety, which should be implemented by State according to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The requirement from ICAO and the implementation status in China are summarized. An evaluation index system is developed under the framework of SSP. An SSP maturity assessment model is proposed based on the evaluation index system. The case of SSP maturity assessment of China is used to validated the proposed maturity assessment model. The assessment result is consistent with the actual situation.
