CAP 382, or the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Scheme (MORS), is a safety reporting system regulated by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Its goal is to enhance aviation safety by ensuring that occurrences which could impact the safety of aircraft, passengers, and crew are promptly reported and analyzed.

Key Objectives:

• Safety Improvement: The scheme encourages the early detection of potential safety hazards in aviation through mandatory reporting of occurrences.
• Mandatory Reporting: It is mandatory for individuals and organizations in the aviation industry (e.g., pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers) to report occurrences that could endanger safety.
• Types of Occurrences: Reports may include mechanical failures, near-misses, issues with air traffic control, and any other situation that could lead to a dangerous situation.
• Confidentiality: The system promotes a "just culture," ensuring that individuals who report safety concerns are not penalized, as long as the report was made in good faith and without negligence.

Benefits of MORS:

CAP 382 contributes to continuous improvement in aviation safety by creating a database of occurrences that allows the CAA and other aviation bodies to analyze trends, assess risks, and take preventive actions. This ultimately leads to safer skies for all stakeholders in the aviation industry.

General Aim:

The aim of MORS is to make sure that safety issues are identified early, to prevent accidents, and to foster a culture of transparency and learning within the aviation industry.
