The Service Difficulty Reporting (SDR) Program aims to enhance flight safety by collecting, recording, and analyzing defects and potential safety hazards in aeronautical products. Compliance with regulations such as ICAO Annex 8 and CAR 591 ensures the identification and correction of any defects that may compromise aircraft safety. The WSDRS (Web Service Difficulty Reporting System) provides an efficient electronic reporting platform for users to submit reports, facilitating timely investigations and product improvements. Effective reporting reduces workload and enhances safety standards within the Canadian aviation industry.
