Foreword


June 2013

FOREWORD ICAO Annex 6 specifies that an Air Operator shall not engage in commercial air transport operations unless in possession of a valid Air Operator Permit (AOP) issued by the State of the Operator. ICAO Annex 6 also specifies that the issue of an air operator certificate by the State of the Operator shall be dependent upon the operator demonstrating an adequate organization, method of control and supervision of flight operations, training program as well as ground handling and maintenance arrangements consistent with the nature and extent of the operations specified. As per Annex 6, the State of the Operator is required to establish a system for both the certification and the continued surveillance of the operator to ensure that the required standards of operations are established prior to granting an AOP and are maintained. Preparation of an Operations Manual by the Operator for the use and guidance of Operations personnel and the approval / acceptance of the Operations manual by the State regulatory authority is a vital element of the certification and surveillance process. The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance to the operator in preparation of the Operations Manual and to provide instructions to Inspectors of DGCA, India in certifying/ approving/accepting the Operations Manual.

Any interpretation regarding the contents of this manual by DGCA, India shall be considered final.

REQUIRED TECHNICAL SAFETY EVALUATIONS

APPROVAL AND ACCEPTANCE ACTIONS

4.1.1

The certification and continued surveillance of an air operator includes actions taken by DGCA, India on matters submitted for its review.

4.1.2

The actions are categorized as approvals or acceptances depending on the nature of the response by DGCA, India to the matter submitted for its review.

4.1.3

An approval is an active response by DGCA, India to a matter submitted for its review. An approval constitutes a finding or determination of compliance with the applicable standards.

4.1.4

An approval will be evidenced by the signature of the approving official, the issuance of a document or certificate, or some other formal action taken by DGCA, India.

4.1.5

An acceptance does not necessarily require an active response by DGCA, India to a matter submitted for its review. DGCA, India may accept a matter submitted to it for review as being in compliance with the applicable standards if DGCA, India does not specifically reject all or a portion of the matter under review, usually after some defined period of time after submission. The defined period of time is two months from the day of submission of the document.

4.2

DEMONSTRATIONS BEFORE ISSUANCE OF APPROVALS Note (reference ICAO Annex 6, Attachment E, Paragraph 2.2)

ICAO Annex 6, Standard 4.2.1.3 obligates the State of the Operator, prior to certification of an operator, to require sufficient demonstrations by the operator to enable the State to evaluate the adequacy of the operator’s organization, method of control and supervision of flight operations, ground handling and maintenance arrangements. These demonstrations should be in addition to the review or inspections of manuals, records, facilities and equipment. Some of the approvals required by Annex 6, Part I, such as approval for Category III operations, have significant safety implications and should be validated by demonstration before the State approves such operations. While the specific methodology and extent of the required demonstrations and evaluations vary between States, the certification processes of States whose operators have good safety records are generally consistent. In these States, technically qualified inspectors evaluate a representative sample of the actual training, maintenance and operations prior to the issuance of an AOC or additional authorizations to the AOC. 4.2.1 In the opinion of the Inspector where the approvals have significant safety implications, the Inspector shall require the operator to conduct adequate number of demonstrations prior to granting such approval.

4.4 COORDINATION OF OPERATIONS AND AIRWORTHINESS EVALUATIONS Note ( reference ICAO Annex 6, Attachment E, Paragraph 2.4) Some of the references to approval or acceptance in Annex 6, Part I, will require an operations evaluation and an airworthiness evaluation. Low minima approvals for the conduct of Category II and III ILS approaches, for example, require coordinated prior evaluation by operations and airworthiness specialists. Flight operations specialists should evaluate the operational procedures, training and qualifications. Airworthiness specialists should evaluate the aircraft, equipment reliability and maintenance procedures. These evaluations may be accomplished separately, but should be coordinated to ensure that all aspects necessary for safety have been addressed before any approval is issued.

4.4.1 For approvals and acceptance where Operations and Airworthiness evaluations are required such acceptance or approvals shall be issued only in coordination with Inspectors’ of Operations and Airworthiness section.
