line operations safety audits (LOSA)

Line Operations Safety Audits (LOSA) are systematic reviews conducted while flight crews perform their regular duties. They observe and record ongoing operational practices to identify safety risks and areas for improvement without interrupting the flight. The goal is to monitor real-world performance, promote safety awareness, and enhance procedures through constructive feedback. LOSA helps airlines understand how safety is maintained during routine operations, encouraging a proactive safety culture by learning from actual flight experiences to prevent accidents and improve overall safety standards.
