U.S. aviation team arrives, to re-certify NCAA, CAT 1
A TEAM from the United States (U.S.) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) arrived the country at the weekend to begin the process of re-certifying the Nigerian aviation industry, which it started in 2010.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and other aviation agencies said yesterday that they were ready for the audit. According to a release by the acting NCAA Director General, Benedict Adeyileka, the four-man team will assess NCAA’s compliance with applicable sections of ICAO standards contained in Annexes 1, 6 and 8.
Adeyileka said the team would use the current International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) checklist and ICAO guideline for the exercise. The eight critical elements are primary aviation legislation, specific operating regulations, state civil aviation system and safety oversight functions and technical personnel qualification and training.
Others are technical guidance and tools, licensing and certification obligations, surveillance obligations and resolution of safety concerns. FAA awarded Nigeria Category One safety status in 2010 after the country met the IASA standards and four years later, the body decided to re-audit Nigeria in response to critical reports about the aviation industry, according to its letter to NCAA to announce the re-certification.
