Reporting for safer skies

In this special episode, we celebrate 50 years of Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) and reflect on the vital role it has played in improving aviation safety.

Jon Round, Head of Airspace, ATM and Aerodromes at the UK CAA, and Phil Sleight, Deputy Chief Inspector at the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), discuss how a strong reporting culture, combined with a just culture approach, has enabled the aviation industry to learn from events, identify trends, and continuously enhance safety standards.

The episode also explores how these principles will remain essential as aviation evolves through new technologies and emerging challenges.
