Entry into the Civil
Aviation System – Air Operator Certificate (AOC)
An essential element in the regulatory system is the certification
of air operators. The requirement that an operator shall be in possession of an
AOC issued by CASA PNG in order to engage in commercial air transport operations
is contained in CAR Part 119.
Through the issuance of an AOC, the associated operations
specifications and the subsequent continuing safety oversight, CASA PNG will be
able to ensure the protection of public interest and will be able to exercise
indirect influence and control without encroaching upon the direct
responsibility of the operator for the safety of the operation. The granting of
an AOC by the CASA PNG establishes that the operator has met the criteria for
an acceptable operation and that the operator is capable of providing a safe
commercial air transport service.
Compliance –
Continuous Oversight
Subsequent to the issuance of an AOC, Flying Operations is
responsible for continued surveillance and for conducting periodic inspections
to ensure the operator’s continued compliance with CASA, PNG regulations,
authorizations, limitations and provisions of its AOC and operations specifications.
These periodic inspections are components of a continuing safety oversight
programme.
Under Papua New Guinea Regulations CASA PNG inspectors have
the authority and responsibility for exercising continuing safety oversight of
commercial air transport operations to ensure that accepted safety practices
and approved procedures for the promotion of safety in operations are
maintained. To achieve this objective, Flying Operations establishes an annual
risk-based surveillance plan for continuously monitoring operations conducted
by each operator.
Note: All inspectors
authorized to conduct safety oversight will be in possession of credentials
identifying them as inspectors appointed by CASA PNG. The credentials identify
the legislation under which they are empowered to inspect. In addition, each
credential has an expiry date and a current photo of the inspector.
