  • ICAO/COSCAP Aerodrome Certification Course Bangkok, Thailand 29 June – 2 July 2009
    MISSION REPORT ICAO/COSCAP Aerodrome Certification Course Bangkok, Thailand 29 June – 2 July 2009 Purpose of Mission The purpose of the mission was to present a course in aerodrome certification based on the requirements of ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1 and other relevant ICAO specifications for participants invited from the Asia Pacific Region, including member States of COSCAP-SA, COSCAP-SEA and COSCAP-NA. The objective of the course was to enable participants to develop an improved understanding of all the important regulatory and safety aspects of aerodrome certification, based on the international standards and recommended practices, and to allow participants to be able to anticipate issues and challenges faced by aerodrome operators who are required to achieve certified status. A course brochure, which was distributed in advance of the course, is at Attachment 1. Background ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1 requires States to certify certain aerodromes. This has been difficult for some States to achieve due to a lack of knowledge about certification requirements, the organizational and staffing arrangements necessary for the aviation regulatory authority, how to apply the requirements to an aerodrome operation and lack of knowledge regarding safety management systems in general coupled with a limited amount of experience in implementing an aerodrome safety management system. In recognition of these factors the course was conducted under the auspices of the ICAO Regional Office and the combined COSCAPs, and held in the Conference Hall of the Kotaite Wing at the ICAO Asia and Pacific Regional Office, Bangkok. Captain Len Cormier, CTA of COSCAP-SEA, with support of the other COSCAP CTAs, arranged for the course to be presented by Captain John Slaughter, ICAO Aerodrome Consultant, who was in the region on another ICAO mission.
