Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA)

Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) is a proactive safety program used by airlines to monitor and improve flight crew performance during regular operations. Trained observers discreetly review ongoing flights to identify potential safety hazards, human errors, or procedural deviations without interfering. The collected data helps airlines understand real-world operational risks, fosters learning, and implements better safety practices. LOSA promotes a safety culture by encouraging open reporting and continuous improvement, ultimately aiming to reduce accidents and enhance overall flight safety through ongoing, real-time insights into everyday airline operations.
