The EU Ramp Inspection Programme is a mandatory safety programme within the European Union (EU). All EASA member states, other ECAC states and a number of participating states with a working arrangement with EASA not part of ECAC are performing EU Ramp Inspection Programme inspections on foreign state operators. In order to be able to perform EU Ramp Inspection Programme inspections, the inspector must have followed initial EU Ramp Inspection Programme training. Once qualified, ramp inspectors should undergo recurrent training in order to be kept up to date.
According to ARO.RAMP.115, the competent authority should ensure that all ramp inspectors undergo recurrent training at least once every 3 years after being qualified as EU Ramp Inspection Programme Ramp Inspectors, or when deemed necessary by the competent authority or the Agency, e.g. after major changes in the inspection procedures.
The Agency will inform the competent authority of such necessity and on the associated timeframe for implementation. Recurrent training should be delivered by a competent authority or by an approved Ramp Inspection Training Organisation (RITO).
