The course aims to convey an understanding of the complexities of the Total Aviation System and how this applies to aerodrome safety regulation - since, in addition to the issues covered by EASA PART ADR, it must also be understood how this interfaces with such issues as ATM/ANS, Instrument Flight Procedure Design, AIS, Flight Operations Regulations (EASA PART OPS) etc.
Further, detailed information on the regulatory framework is provided along with a review of significant parts of the Basic Regulation 2018/1139, the Implementing Rules 139/2014 and the regulation covering EASA’s working methods for standardization inspections and monitoring of the application of the rules (628/2013).
An important aspect of being able to identify and justify findings is to have a proper understanding of the intent and purpose behind the regulations. Particularly when the regulations are objective based, but also when they are more prescriptive, because then one must be able to assess the safety implications of partial compliance or alternative means of compliance.
To this end, some important concepts, ideas and purposes behind some elements of physical characteristics, visual aids, obstacle (and land-use) management, Wildlife and Foreign Object Debris control and Aeronautical data management are covered in this course.
In order to emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of safe aerodrome operation, and consequently the need for coordination and cooperation, one or more of the following subjects will be reviewed:
At the end of the course, NAA Inspectors shall be able to
the findings with regard to Aerodromes according to the European regulatory framework currently in place.
NOTE: Due to the number of details contained in the regulations, AMCs and GM as well as the CS, it is impossible to cover every detail. However, the philosophies, concepts and principles are well covered so that the students are well prepared to use and apply the material in their work. Also, the need for monitoring, preventive and corrective maintenance is discussed where appropriate.
