DESCRIPTION
This Implementation Package (iPack) is a self-contained package assisting and guiding the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and their operations safety inspectors to perform certification activities for the safe transport of air cargo. It includes relevant documentation and a training course to support these functions. A dedicated subject matter expert will work with the CAA personnel guiding their implementation efforts to achieve the objectives of this iPack. The level of progress made against each iPack objective depends on the availability of authority’s resources to perform the work.
GOAL
The goal of this iPack is to assist and guide civil aviation authorities, and their operations safety inspectors, with attaining the competencies required to conduct certification and oversight activities for the safe transport of air cargo.
OBJECTIVES
Following the successful deployment of this iPack, CAA safety inspectors with operations certification and oversight responsibilities will be better equipped to:
- understand the standards and regulations required for certification and continued safety oversight of air cargo operations, and the State’s responsibilities for continuing safety oversight of certificated air cargo operators;
- specify the requirements of an air cargo operator’s manual system and applicable documentation;
- understand the CAA inspector’s role in conducting demonstrations and inspections to ensure air cargo operations comply with applicable CAA regulations, guidance and safe operating practices;
- specify the requirements for approving a training programme for an operator adding air cargo transport to its operations;
- understand the CAA inspector’s responsibilities as they apply to evaluating air cargo operations during transport of special cargo and dangerous goods; and
- identify the major aspects of the certification phase for air cargo operations, including the preparation and issuance of revised operations specifications and continuing safety oversight of air cargo operations.
