What is a LOSA
Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) is a human factor process that is build around Threat and Error Management (TEM) framework, a particular strength of LOSA is by monitoring a normal scheduled flight from the cockpit, the observer collects information or data about flight crew behaviour and strategies for managing threats, errors and unexpected situations. Data collection in LOSA is confidential and non-jeopardy, and provides a diagnostic snapshot of strengths and weaknesses that an airline can use to reinforce its safety margins and prevent degradation, also be used as model for crew resource management training. (The University of Texas, 20041)
