surveillance the process of tracking another aircraft without interrogating it, by using the other aircraft’s extended squitters. acas uses the information obtained via 1090 mhz extended squitter to monitor the need for active surveillance, but not for any other purpose. passive surveillance applies to both hybrid and extended hybrid surveillance. atn security services a set of information security provisions allowing the receiving end system or intermediate system to unambiguously identify (i.e. authenticate) the source of the received information and to verify the integrity of that information. acas broadcast a long mode s air-air surveillance interrogation (uf = 16) with the broadcast address. acas i an acas which provides information as an aid to “see and avoid” action but does not include the capability for generating resolution advisories (ras). note— acas i is not intended for international implementation and standardization by icao. therefore, only acas i characteristics required to ensure compatible operation with other acas configurations and interference limiting are defined in icao annex 10 vol. iv, para 4.2. acas ii an acas which provides vertical resolution advisories (ras) in addition to traffic advisories (tas). acas iii an acas which provides vertical and horizontal resolution advisories (ras) in addition to traffic advisories (tas). acas-active surveillance the process of tracking an intruder by using the information gained from the replies to own acas interrogations. acas-coordination the process by which two acas-equipped aircraft select compatible resolution advisories (ras) by the exchange of resolution advisory complements (racs). acas-cycle the term “cycle” used in the chapter 4 of icao annex 10, volume iv, refers to one complete pass through the sequence of functions executed by acas ii or acas iii, nominally once a second. acas-hybrid surveillance the process of using a combination of active surveillance and passive surveillance with validated data to update an acas track in order to preserve acas independence. acas-original rate the original rate of an acas-equipped aircraft at any time is its altitude rate at the same time when it followed the original trajectory. acas-sensitivity level (s) an integer defining a set of parameters used by the traffic advisory (ta) and collision avoidance algorithms to control the warning time provided by the potential threat and threat detection logic, as well as the values of parameters relevant to the ra selection logic. note — for ta and ra selection, sensitivity level is not used in acas x compliant systems. acas-squitters acas uses the information obtained via 1090 mhz extended squitter to monitor the need for active surveillance, but not for any other purpose. passive surveillance applies to both hybrid and extended hybrid surveillance. acas-threat an intruder deserving special attention either because of its close proximity to own aircraft or because successive range and altitude measurements indicate that it could be on a collision or near-collision course with own aircraft. the warning time provided against a threat is sufficiently small that an ra is justified. acas-track a sequence of measurements representing positions that could reasonably have been occupied by an aircraft. acas-validation the process of verifying the relative position of an intruder using passive information via 1090 mhz extended squitter by comparing it to the relative position obtained by acas active interrogation. acas-warning time the time interval between potential threat or threat detection and closest approach when neither aircraft accelerates. accelerate-stop distance available (asda) the length of the take-off run available plus the length of stopway, if provided. acceptable level of safety performance (alosp) the level of safety performance agreed by state authorities to be achieved for the civil aviation system in a state, as defined in its state safety programme, expressed in terms of safety performance targets and safety performance indicators. acceptable means of compliance a non-binding standard adopted by gaca to illustrate a means of compliance to a regulation. accepted-application for any application, filing, method, procedure, or policy, the president has reviewed it and has neither objected to nor approved its proposed use or implementation. accepting unit air traffic control unit next to take control of an aircraft. accident an occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which, in the case of a manned aircraft, takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as all such persons have disembarked, or in the case of an unmanned aircraft, takes place between the time the aircraft is ready to move with the purpose of flight until such time as it comes to rest at the end of the flight and the primary propulsion system is shut down, in which: a) a person is fatally or seriously injured as a result of: — being in the aircraft, or — direct contact with any part of the aircraft, including parts which have become detached from the aircraft, or — direct exposure to jet blast, except when the injuries are from natural causes, self-inflicted or inflicted by other persons, or when the injuries are to stowaways hiding outside the areas normally available to the passengers and crew; or b) the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure which: — adversely affects the structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and — would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component, except for engine failure or damage, when the damage is limited to a single engine, (including its cowlings or accessories), to propellers, wing tips, antennas, probes, vanes, tires, brakes, wheels, fairings, panels, landing gear doors, windscreens, the aircraft skin (such as small dents or puncture holes), or for minor damages to main rotor blades, tail rotor blades, landing gear, and those resulting from hail or bird strike (including holes in the radome); or c) the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible. note 1— for statistical uniformity only, an injury resulting in death within thirty days of the date of the accident is classified, by icao, as a fatal injury. note 2— an aircraft is considered to be missing when the official search has been terminated and the wreckage has not been located. note 3— the type of unmanned aircraft system to be investigated is addressed in 5.1 of the icao annex 13. note 4— guidance for the determination of aircraft damage can be found in attachment f of the icao annex 13. note 5— also referred to as \"aircraft accident\". accident investigation authority the authority designated by a state as responsible for aircraft accident and incident investigations within the context of the icao annex 13. note—in ksa, aviation investigation bureau (aib) is the accident investigation authority. accident investigation-advisor a person appointed by a state, on the basis of his or her qualifications, for the purpose of assisting its accredited representative in an investigation. acclimated a condition in which a flight crew member has been in a theater for 72 hours or has been given at least 36 consecutive hours free from duty. accompanying person an adult who is travelling with a minor. this person will not necessarily be the parent or legal guardian of the minor. note― it is to be noted that this definition might need to be applied in light of any obligation resulting from the application of national regulations on border checks. accountable executive a single, identifiable person having responsibility for the effective and efficient performance of the service provider’s sms. accredited medical conclusion the conclusion reached by one or more medical experts acceptable to the licensing authority for the purposes of the case concerned, in consultation with flight operations or other experts as necessary. accredited representative-investigation a person designated by a

(a) this part identifies the approved instrument flight procedures (ifp) authorized for use within the territorial limits of the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa) and within all airspace for which the ksa has accepted responsibility under international civil aviation agreements. (b) this part identifies the approved instrument approach procedures (iap) authorized for use to civil aerodromes in the ksa. (c) this part also identifies approved departure procedures for certain civil aerodromes in the ksa and the weather minima that apply to the departure procedure if different than the standard takeoff minima under general authority of civil aviation regulations (gacar) part 91. (d) the rules governing the development, validation, approval, promulgation and maintenance of instrument flight procedures are addressed under gacar part 172. (e) the rules governing the publication of instrument flight procedures in the ksa aeronautical information publication (aip) and their depiction on aeronautical charts are addressed under gacar part 175. § 97.3 symbols and terms used in procedures. as used in the approved instrument flight procedures identified in this part— (a) aircraft approach category means a grouping of aircraft based on a speed of vref, if specified, or if vref is not specified, 1.3 vso at the maximum certificated landing mass. vref, vso, and the maximum certificated landing mass are those values as established for the aircraft under gacar part 21. the categories are as follows— (1) category a: speed less than 91 knots indicated air speed (ias). (2) category b: speed 91 knots or more but less than 121 knots ias. (3) category c: speed 121 knots or more but less than 141 knots ias. (4) category d: speed 141 knots or more but less than 166 knots ias. (5) category e: speed 166 knots ias or more but less than 211 knots ias. (b) an operator may impose a permanent lower landing mass, and use of this mass for determining the aircraft approach category if the change is approved by the president. the category defined for a given aircraft must be a permanent value and thus independent of changing day-to-day operations. (c) approach procedure segments for which altitudes (minimum altitudes, unless otherwise specified) and paths are prescribed in procedures, are as follows— (1) initial approach segment is the segment of an instrument approach procedure between the initial approach fix and the intermediate fix or the point where the aircraft is established on the intermediate course or final approach course. (2) initial approach altitude is the altitude (or altitudes, in high altitude procedure) prescribed for the initial approach segment of an instrument approach procedure. (3) intermediate approach segment of an instrument approach procedure is the segment between either the intermediate approach fix and the final approach fix or point, or between the end of a reversal, racetrack or dead reckoning track procedure and the final approach fix or point, as appropriate. (4) final approach segment of an instrument approach procedure is the segment in which alignment and descent for landing are accomplished. (5) missed approach segment starts at the missed approach point and includes the following three phases: (i) initial phase — begins at the earliest missed approach point, and extends until the start of climb; (ii) intermediate phase — extends from the start of climb to the point where 50 m (164 ft) obstacle clearance is first obtained and can be maintained; and (iii) final phase — extends to the point at which a new approach, holding or return to en-route flight is initiated. turns may be carried out during this phase. (d) procedure turn means the maneuver in which a turn is made away from a designated track followed by a turn in the opposite direction to permit the aircraft to intercept and proceed along the reciprocal of the designated track . the direction of turn, distance within which the turn must be completed, and minimum altitude are specified in the procedure. however, the point at which the turn may be begun, and the type and rate of turn, is left to the discretion of the pilot. § 97.5 bearings, courses, tracks, headings, radials, and miles. (a) all bearings, courses, tracks, headings, and radials in this part are in degrees magnetic, unless otherwise designated. (b) rvr values are stated in meters. other visibility values are stated in meters or kilometers. all other mileages are stated in nautical miles (nm) or applicable si units. § 97.11 general. (a) all approved ifps (including iaps, departure procedures and associated weather minimums) within the territorial limits of the ksa and within all airspace for which the ksa has accepted responsibility under international civil aviation agreements are developed and maintained by air navigation service providers certificated under gacar part 170 and providing instrument flight procedure services under gacar part 172. (b) except as provided in (c), all approved ifps (including iaps and departure procedures) authorized for use in the ksa are published in the ksa aip and depicted on relevant aeronautical charts. all ifps published in the ksa aip and depicted on aeronautical charts are derived from ifp registers established and maintained by air navigation service providers certificated under gacar part 170 and providing instrument flight procedure services under gacar part 172.

applicability. (a) except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, this part prescribes rules governing— (1) the provision of air traffic services (ats) in the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa) as well as in the airspace over the high seas encompassed by the jeddah flight information region (fir) by an air traffic service provider that holds or is required to hold an air navigation service certificate (ansc) under general authority of civil aviation regulation (gacar) part 170; (2) each person employed or used by an ats provider when providing ats under this part; (3) the requirements for, and the contents of, an air traffic services procedure (atsp) manual; (4) the designation, classification and registration of airspace including information for persons who wish to request a designation and classification of airspace; and (5) the establishment and registration of routes and minimum altitudes. (b) this part does not apply to: (1) a person who is providing air traffic services to military aircraft in the course of his duties for the saudi arabian military; or (2) any air traffic services provided to military aircraft by the saudi arabian military. (c) additional requirements applicable to ats providers are prescribed under general authority of civil aviation regulation (gacar) part 173. (d) additional requirements applicable to the administering authority and user agencies of certain types of special use airspace are prescribed under general authority of civil aviation regulation (gacar) § 171.3 restrictions on air traffic services providers. (a) no person may provide an air traffic service (ats) in the kingdom of saudi arabia unless the person complies with the provisions of this part and they have been certificated by the president under gacar part 170 to provide such service. (b) each ats provider must provide ats within ksa airspace in accordance with the obligations imposed by the convention on international civil aviation and regional air navigation agreements unless a difference has been notified to icao by the kingdom of saudi arabia. (c) except as provided in gacar part 170, each ats provider must comply with the limitations and provisions of their certificate, operations specifications and their manual prepared under subpart c. § 171.5 objectives of air traffic services. (a) the objectives of ats must be to: (1) prevent collisions between aircraft; (2) prevent collisions between aircraft on the maneuvering area and obstructions on that area; (3) expedite and maintain an orderly flow of air traffic; (4) provide advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights; and (5) notify appropriate organizations regarding aircraft in need of search and rescue aid, and assist such organizations as required. (b) the objectives of the air traffic control (atc) services exclude prevention of collision with terrain except when controlled flights are being vectored by radar. note - these provisions are general statements which represent high-level safety objectives to be met when providing air traffic services. § 171.7 divisions of air traffic services. (a) the air traffic services must comprise three services identified as follows: (1) the air traffic control service, to accomplish objectives (a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3) of §171.5 , this service being divided in three parts as follows: (i) area control service: the provision of air traffic control service for controlled flights, except for those parts of such flights described in (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section, in order to accomplish objectives (a)(1) and (a)(3) of §171.5 . (ii) approach control service: the provision of air traffic control service for those parts of controlled flights associated with arrival or departure, in order to accomplish objectives (a)(1) and (a)(3) of §171.5 . (iii) aerodrome control service: the provision of air traffic control service for aerodrome traffic, except for those parts of flights described in §171.7 (a)(1)(ii), in order to accomplish objectives (a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3) of §171.5 . (2) flight information service to provide advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights. (3) alerting service to notify appropriate organizations regarding aircraft in need of search and rescue aid, and assist such organizations as required; and (b) where air traffic services are established, the certified ats provider must publish information as necessary to permit the utilization of such services. § 171.9 determination of the need for air traffic services. (a) the need for the provision of ats must be determined by the general manager of air traffic services (gm-ats) as defined under gacar part 171, §171.43 (a)(3), and must be accepted by the president. the factors that must be considered in determining the need for the provision of ats include: (1) the types of air traffic involved; (2) the density of air traffic; (3) the meteorological conditions; (4) such other factors as may be relevant. note. — due to the number of elements involved, it has not been possible to develop specific data to determine the need for air traffic services in a given area or at a given location. for example: (i) a mixture of different types of air traffic with aircraft of varying speeds (conventional jet, etc.) might necessitate the provision of air traffic services, whereas a relatively greater density of traffic where only one type of operation is involved would not; (ii) meteorological conditions might have considerable effect in areas where there is a constant flow of air traffic (e.g., scheduled traffic), whereas similar or worse meteorological conditions might be relatively unimportant in an area where air traffic would be discontinued in such conditions (e.g. local vfr flights); (iii) open stretches of water, mountainous, uninhabited or desert areas might necessitate the provision of air traffic services even though the frequency of operations is extremely low. (b) the carriage of airborne collision avoidance systems (acas) by aircraft in a given area must not be a factor in determining the need for ats in that area. § 171.11 designation of the portions of the airspace and controlled aerodromes where air traffic services will be provided. (a) when it has been determined that ats will be provided in particular portions of the airspace or at particular aerodromes, then those portions of the airspace or those aerodromes must be designated in relation to the ats that are to be provided. (b) the designation of the particular portions of the airspace or the particular aerodromes must be as follows: (1) flight information regions (fir). those portions of the airspace where it is determined that flight information service and alerting service will be provided must be designated as flight information regions (firs). (2) control areas and control zones. (i) those portions of the airspace where it is determined that air traffic control service will be provided to ifr flights must be designated as control areas or control zones. (ii) those portions of controlled airspace wherein it is determined that air traffic control service will only be provided to ifr flights must be designated as class a airspace. (iii) those portions of controlled airspace wherein it is determined that air traffic control service will also be provided to vfr flights must be designated as classes b, c, or d airspace. (iv) where designated within a flight information region (fir), control areas and control zones must form part of that fir. (3) controlled aerodromes. those aerodromes where it is determined that air traffic control service will be provided to aerodrome traffic must be designated as controlled aerodromes. § 171.13 establishment and designation of the units providing air traffic services. the air traffic services must be provided by units established and designated as follows: (a) flight information centers (fic) must be established to provide flight information service and alerting service within flight information regions, unless the responsibility of providing such services within a flight information region is assigned to an air traffic control unit having adequate facilities for the discharge of such responsibility. note. — this does not preclude delegating to other units the function of providing certain elements of the flight information service. (b) air traffic control units (atcu) must be established to provide air traffic control service, flight information service and alerting service within control areas, control zones and at controlled aerodromes. (c) the following types of atcu may be established to provide air traffic control services: (1) area control centers (acc); (2) approach control units (app); and (3) aerodrome control towers (twr). (d) where air traffic services are established, the certified ats provider must publish information as necessary to permit the utilization of such services. § 171.15 specifications for flight information regions, control areas and control zones. (a) general. the delineation of airspace, wherein ats are to be provided, must be related to the nature of the route structure and the need for efficient service rather than to national boundaries. note 1. — agreements to permit the delineation of airspace lying across national boundaries are necessary when such action will facilitate the provision of air traffic services. agreements which permit delineation of airspace boundaries by straight lines will, for example, be most convenient where data processing techniques are used by air traffic services units. note 2. — where delineation of airspace is made by reference to national boundaries there is a need for suitably sited transfer points to be mutually agreed upon with ats provider(s) in the adjacent states. (b) flight information regions (firs). (1) flight information regions must be delineated to cover the whole of the air route structure to be served by such regions. (2) a flight information region must include all airspace within its lateral limits, except as limited by an upper fir. (3) where a fir is limited by an upper fir, the lower limit specified for the upper fir must constitute the upper vertical limit of the fir and must coincide with a vfr cruising level as prescribed in gacar §91.169 . (4) when an ats provider proposes to re-organize the airspace, this re-organization must not affect the boundaries of jeddah flight information region and the proposed structure must limit the number of control areas. each control area must be delineated to include an upper airspace within the lateral limits of jeddah fir and consider the lower limits of other or adjacent control areas. note. — in cases where an upper flight information region is established the procedures applicable therein need not be identical with those applicable in the underlying flight information region. (c) control areas. (1) control areas including, inter alia, airways and terminal control areas must be delineated so as to encompass sufficient airspace to contain the flight paths of those ifr flights or portions thereof to which it is desired to provide the applicable parts of the atc service, taking into account the capabilities of the navigation aids normally used in that area. note. — in a control area other than one formed by a system of airways, a system of routes may be established to facilitate the provision of atc. (2) a lower limit of a control area must be established at a height above the ground or water of not less than 700 ft. (3) the lower limit of a control area must, when practicable and desirable in order to allow freedom of action for vfr flights below the control area, be established at a greater height than the minimum specified in paragraph §171.15 (c)(2). (4) when the lower limit of a control area is above 3000 ft msl it must coincide with a vfr cruising level as prescribed in gacar §91.169 . (5) an upper limit of a control area must be estab"}, {"num": "172", "title": "Air Traffic Services", "cat": "airspace", "sub": null, "file": "Part_172.pdf", "html": "library/part-172.html", "pages": 49, "sections": 77, "snippet": "Submission Requirements................................................................................................................................ 48 § 172.1 Purpose.

(b) the designated ats provider must establish an aeronautical rescue coordination center in the ksa search and rescue region. (c) the ksa rescue coordination center and, as appropriate, rescue sub centers, must be staffed 24 hours a day by trained personnel proficient in the use of the language used for radio-telephony communications. (d) the designated ats provider must ensure that ksa aeronautical rescue coordination center personnel involved in the conduct of radiotelephony communications are proficient in the use of the english language. (e) in areas where public telecommunications facilities would not permit persons observing an aircraft in emergency to notify the ksa aeronautical rescue coordination center directly and promptly, the designated ats provider must, in so far as practicable and when possible, identify suitable public units (e.g. police or military stations) as alerting posts and make the required arrangements to allow these posts to report any aircraft emergency. (f) the ksa aeronautical rescue coordination center and, as appropriate, rescue sub centers, must: (1) maintain up-to-date contact details in the operations (ops) control directory; and (2) subscribe and maintain access to the location of an aircraft in distress repository (ladr). note.— guidance on the use of the ops control directory and the ladr is contained in the icao manual on global aeronautical distress and safety system (gadss) (doc 10165). § 177.7 search and rescue communications. (a) the ksa aeronautical rescue coordination center must have means of rapid and reliable two-way communication with: (1) associated air traffic services units; (2) associated rescue sub centers; (3) appropriate direction-finding and position-fixing stations; (4) where appropriate, coastal radio stations capable of alerting and communicating with surface vessels in the region; (5) the headquarters of search and rescue units in the region; (6) all maritime rescue coordination centers in the region and aeronautical, maritime or joint rescue coordination centers in adjacent regions; (7) a designated meteorological office or meteorological watch office; (8) search and rescue units; (9) alerting posts; (10) the saudi arabian mission control center (samcc) servicing the ksa search and rescue region. (b) each rescue sub center must have means of rapid and reliable two-way communication with: (1) adjacent rescue coordination center and associated sub centers; (2) an appropriate meteorological office or meteorological watch office; (3) search and rescue units; and (4) alerting posts. § 177.9 search and rescue units. (a) ksa search and rescue authorities must designate as search and rescue units elements of public or private services suitably located and equipped for search and rescue operations. (b) ksa search and rescue authorities must designate as parts of the search and rescue plan of operation, elements of public or private services that do not qualify as search and rescue units but are nevertheless able to participate in search and rescue operations. § 177.11 search and rescue equipment. (a) ksa search and rescue authorities must liaise with appropriate authorities to ensure that search and rescue units are provided with equipment for locating promptly, and for providing adequate assistance at, the scene of an accident. (b) each search and rescue aircraft must be equipped to be able to communicate on the aeronautical distress and on-scene frequencies and on such other frequencies as may be prescribed. (c) each search and rescue aircraft must be equipped with a device for homing on distress frequencies. (d) each search and rescue aircraft, when used for search and rescue over maritime areas, must be equipped to be able to communicate with vessels. note: many vessels can communicate with aircraft on 2182 khz, 4125 khz, 121.5 mhz and 123.1 mhz. however, these frequencies, and in particular 121.5 mhz and 123.1 mhz, may not be routinely monitored by vessels. rather, vessels monitor channel 16 (156.8 mhz), the international maritime distress, safety and calling frequency. (e) each search and rescue aircraft, when used for search and rescue over maritime areas must carry a copy of the international code of signals to enable it to overcome language difficulties that may be experienced in communicating with ships. § 177.13 cooperation with search and rescue authorities. all civil aerodromes, aircraft operators, and aviation-related organizations whose activities may require search and rescue services within the ksa flight information region must establish an arrangement or coordination framework with the concerned rescue coordination center or sub-center serving the area of operation to allow immediate assistance to be provided to survivors and property. § 177.15 cooperation with other states.

8.0.1.1.1 inspectors responsible for the safety oversight of the provision of air navigation services in saudi arabia (ans safety oversight (ansso) inspectors) are, by definition and gaca designation, aviation safety inspectors (asi). responsibilities include certification, safety oversight and compliance auditing of: air traffic services; aeronautical telecommunication services; aeronautical information services; instrument flight procedure design organisations; flight inspection service providers; search and rescue service providers; and aviation meteorology service providers. 8.0.1.1.2 responsibilities also include obstacle evaluation, assessment of instrument flight procedures, and evaluations, assessments or other functions relating to the safety of air navigation services in general. 8.0.1.1.3 in addition to adhering to the technical guidance material in this volume, ansso inspectors must comply with the general provisions that apply to all gaca aviation safety inspectors, as outlined in the e-book volume 1, chapter 3, specifically: section 4 – inspector training requirements to perform job functions 8.0.1.1.4 ans safety oversight inspectors must also be familiar with the provisions and requirements of e-book volume 2 – safety management systems, volume 13 – compliance enforcement and resolution, and volume 14 – designees – appointment and management. section 2. five phase certification and approval process 8.0.2.0 purpose 8.0.2.0.1 the purpose of this chapter is to provide general information to ans safety oversight inspectors on application of the recommended five phase certification process to be used for the certification (or approval or licensing) of ans service providers that are required to be certified (or approved or licensed) under the provisions of the gaca regulations. 8.0.2.0.2 the provisions in this chapter may be adjusted or adapted for the specific circumstances of each organisation being certified; however the basic process will remain the same, enabling inspectors to work more closely with other departments in gaca where certification (or approval or licensing) requires collaboration between departments, or where additional certification expertise is required. 8.0.2.0.3 the certification and approval process described below provides for a continuous interaction between the gaca and an applicant, from the applicant's initial enquiry to the issue or denial of the requested certificate/approval by the president (represented by ap, gaca). 8.0.2.0.4 it ensures that the applicant's proposed programs, systems, arrangements, facilities, documentation, personnel and intended methods of compliance are thoroughly reviewed, evaluated and tested by use of a five phase process. 8.0.2.0.5 the five certification phases are: phase 1: pre – application phase 2: formal application phase 3: document evaluation phase 4: demonstration and inspection phase 5: approval or certificate issue/grant or denial (certification) 8.0.2.0.6 the basic flow chart of the certification process is shown below. for ease of depiction, phases ‘3’ and ‘4’ are integrated as ‘assessment of compliance’. a more detailed set of flow charts is shown at the end of this chapter. figure 1: basic approval process 8.0.2.1 phase 1 - pre-application phase inspector guidance: the pre-application phase is an opportunity for a prospective applicant to determine the requirements for applying for an aviation document, and how they should go about the process. whilst this is a formal phase of the certification process, it is important that inspectors recognize that some potential applicants will have little or no knowledge of either the process(es) or the documents required. providing the right guidance and encouragement at this stage can actually enhance both the certification process, and the likelihood of ongoing compliance in the future. 8.0.2.1.1 the purpose of the pre-application phase is to meet with the applicant to discuss and answer questions about the certification (or approval or licensing) process, regulatory requirements, the formal application and attachments required and any other related issues. inspector guidance: the pre-application phase can start in a number of ways. a potential applicant can approach gaca, and indicate that he (individual or organisation) would like to provide a service in ksa. an organisation may already be aware of a requirement for certification and may then approach gaca for further information. that applicant may do this in person, or in writing. it is also possible for gaca to initiate the pre-application phase (as is the case in the implementation of new gacars on 1 march 2016) by directly contacting an organisation to advise them of the need to comply with new regulations. in all cases gaca should first set up an informal meeting to discuss the potential applicant’s needs – in some cases a potential applicant may decide at this point not to proceed, or to consider the matter further before starting a formal process. if the potential applicant decides to proceed, set up a formal meeting (with record of meeting and minutes) to begin the formal certification process. once the formal process has begun all communications, meetings and correspondence need to be logged and filed. 8.0.2.1.2 the pre application meeting(s) should accomplish the following: (a) discuss the regulations applicable to the proposed operation; (b) provide the applicant with a copy of the application form; (c) inform the applicant that a formal application is required after a satisfactory completion of the pre- application meeting(s). 8.0.2.1.3 after the pre-applicationmeeting, and havingassessed the complexityof the proposed operation, the affected section manager(s), in consultationwith the general manager,aerodromes and airspace (gm a&a), will assign a certification team. inspector guidance: it may be difficult to assess what size certification team will be necessary to complete any particular certification – particularly if a certification of this type has not been completed before. section managers should talk to managers of other departments in gaca for guidance. section managers should also consider using resources (if available) from other departments to assist ans certifications, or to provide training or mentorship to ans safety oversight inspectors. 8.0.2.1.4 a certification project manager (cpm) will then be selected from the certification team. the assigned certification cpm will be the designated principal spokesperson for the assistant president gaca (delegate of the president) during the whole process of certification. 8.0.2.1.5 after the cpm has been selected, the gm-a&a will notify the ap gaca both the name of the cpm, and the name of the organisation/entity for which he/she has certification responsibility. 8.0.2.1.6 the designated certification team will conduct preliminary actions as follows: (a) create a working certification number (file number) for the potential applicant; (b) conduct a review of the initially supplied or available information about the potential applicant; (c) the assigned cpm will contact the applicant to arrange a formal pre-application meeting. inspector guidance: most guidance material on the 5 phase certification process talks about the pre-application phase being one meeting, or extending over a few days. experience has shown that for a small operator, or a small operation, it may be possible to provide all of the required information to a potential applicant, and/or to answer all of their questions, at a single meeting. in the case of a large operation (e.g., gaca ats, gaca ais, gaca med etc.) with little or no experience of certification processes, the pre-application phase may extend over several months, and may involve a number of meetings, and the exchange of several letters, requests for information, and so on. it is important for the certification team to provide as much information as possible, and to assist the potential applicant as far as is possible and over whatever period is necessary - without compromising the integrity of gaca. 8.0.2.2 phase 2 - formal application phase inspector guidance: for inspectors, the formal application phase is the second phase of the certification process – but for applicants, it may be seen as the first formal interaction with gaca. as in the pre-application phase, inspectors should continue to provide positive guidance and encouragement – particularly when requiring the delivery of documents and manuals. 8.0.2.2.1the formal application will include the following – (a) a completed application form; (b) copies of the required documents and manuals; (c) a statement of compliance (compliance checklist); (d) a letter indicating when the applicant will be ready for the demonstration and inspections. 8.0.2.2.2 the following are key steps in the formal application phase. receive the formal application:ensure that all documents have been submitted and are complete. evaluate the application package:based on the initial survey of the application package a decision must be made on whether or not to continue with the certification process. inspector guidance:in theory an application must contain all of the documents and other materials required by regulation to be submitted with the application. in reality, an applicant may not have all of the required documentation because it is being prepared, or finalized, or because the applicant was not fully aware of the requirements. the certification project manager needs to consider the likelihood that the applicant will provide the remaining materials in a reasonable time, before making a decision to suspend the certification process. this will be particularly relevant for ans certification where there is no previous experience. conduct an application meeting:any unresolved issues concerning the package must be answered before proceeding to the next phase. this should be done in the most effective way possible, e.g., meetings or correspondence. inspector guidance: in phase 1 and phase 2 the main workload is on the applicant. through phase 3 and 4 the workload shifts to the certification team through the document evaluation and demonstration audits. 8.0.2.3 phase 3 - document compliance / evaluation phase 8.0.2.3.1 during this phase, the certification team will review the application package by carrying out an in-depth review of the contents of each submitted document for regulatory compliance. the documents to be reviewed include: (a) the completed application form (b) all manuals and documents; (c) the statement of compliance (compliance checklist); (d) the list of all relevant attachments. 8.0.2.3.2 the cpm must record any discrepancies found in any document and determine in discussion with the applicant options for their resolution. 8.0.2.3.4 the cpm must inform the applicant that the certification process will not continue until all discrepancies are resolved. inspector guidance: it is important to note here that all discrepancies must be resolved. in most cases, it will be up to the certification team to ensure the applicant understands the regulatory requirements and attempts to ensure compliance with those requirements. the danger of accommodating changes or exemptions from regulations is that it establishes patterns of differences with international standards or procedures. if it is not possible for an applicant to comply with a regulatory requirement after discussions, the certification project manager may accommodate a difference, subject to approval by the president. 8.0.2.3.5 if the discrepancies cannot be resolved or the certification process is stopped, the applicant will be informed in writing about all discrepancies discovered or observed. 8.0.2.4 phase 4 - demonstration and inspection phase 8.0.2.4.1 the purpose of the demonstration and inspection phase is to validate that"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Air Operator — Operational Approvals", "cat": "ebook", "sub": "ops",

_____________________________________________________________________________ section 1. navigation: general concepts and guidance 5.1.1.1. general. this section provides an introduction to the chapter and an explanation of navigational concepts, direction, and guidance to be used by general authority of civil aviation (gaca) aviation safety inspectors (inspectors) when evaluating compliance with applicable navigation, communication and surveillance requirements prescribed for air operators. it also discusses methods and requirements necessary to approve or deny requests for certain operations that require gaca approval. these approvals may include the use of an aircraft and/or navigation systems new to that operator and/or proposed operations into new areas of operation using previously approved aircraft and navigational systems. a. evaluation of aircraft navigation equipment. due to the complex nature of air navigation, navigational requirements for flight operations, and the wide variation in air traffic control (atc) separation standards used in these operations, inspectors should evaluate each proposed operation and assess the operator’s capability to operate an appropriately equipped aircraft including pilot training and procedures, in environments requiring differing navigational accuracies under a wide variety of meteorological conditions. b. evaluating operations. this chapter provides guidance for evaluating operations using navigational systems that have established operational characteristics and limitations within airspace having particular and unique navigational requirements or tolerances. when an operator requests an approval to use a means of navigation not addressed by this guidance, the request must be forwarded to the director, flight operations division, and the director, airworthiness division, when applicable. c. the objective of air navigation. in aviation, the following objectives of air navigation and navigational systems are necessary: 1) the first objective is to avoid all obstacles while en-route and to arrive safely and efficiently at the intended destination. 2) the second objective is to efficiently fly an intended route with enough precision to permit air traffic controllers to safely separate aircraft. d. general concepts. early in aviation, only a few aircraft operated within any given area at the same time. the most demanding navigational requirements were to avoid obstacles and arrive at the intended destination with enough fuel remaining to safely complete a landing. as aviation evolved, the volume of air traffic grew and a corresponding need to prevent collisions increased. today, the most significant and demanding en route navigational requirement in aviation is the need to safely separate aircraft. there are several factors that must be understood concerning the separation of aircraft by air traffic control (atc). 1) when atc does not have a means of surveillance, such as radar or automatic dependent surveillance (ads) to verify air traffic positions, atc must rely entirely on pilot position reports relayed from an aircraft to determine its actual geographic position and altitude. in this situation, the flight crew’s precision in navigating the aircraft and their timely transmittal of accurate position reports are critical to atc’s ability to provide safe separation. 2) when atc does have a means of surveillance to verify the aircraft’s position, precise navigation and position reports, when required, are a means of providing continuing safe separation. flight safety in instrument flight rules (ifr) operations depends directly on the operator’s ability to achieve and maintain certain levels of navigational performance. atc radar or ads is used to monitor navigational performance, detect navigational deviations, and expedite traffic flow. 3) the control of air traffic requires that a certain level of navigational performance be achieved by aircraft operating under visual flight rules (vfr) to ensure safe separation of aircraft and to expedite the flow of air traffic. a) during cruising flight, the vfr flight altitude appropriate to the direction of flight must be maintained to ensure the required vertical separation between vfr and ifr aircraft and to assist in the prevention of collision between vfr aircraft. b) any aircraft operating in accordance with atc instructions must navigate with the level of accuracy required to comply with atc instructions. c) if a clearance to enter controlled airspace has not been received, the flight crew must navigate the aircraft with sufficient precision to avoid that airspace. d) a pilot must navigate vfr aircraft with sufficient precision to: 1. avoid weather conditions that would prevent visual contact with terrain and other aircraft. 2. locate a suitable aerodrome and land safely without requiring assistance from air traffic service (ats) providers. international civil aviation organization (icao). a. general. 1) the need to ensure protection of persons and property both in flight and on the ground is fundamental to the general authority of civil aviation regulations (gacars). many of the design and performance requirements in aircraft certification rules are established to provide this protection. this protection is also extensively addressed in the operating and equipment rules related to air navigation. it is important that the regulations provide this protection equally to persons and property in flight and on the ground. approvals of route and areas of en-route operation must take into account the need to protect persons and property in flight and on the ground. 2) the foundation for the international civil aviation organization (icao) was established on december 7, 1944, when the text of the convention was opened for signature in chicago, illinois. this document (icao doc 7300) is referred to as the “icao convention” or the “chicago convention.” this “convention” contains 96 articles known as the articles of the convention. by signing the convention, a government (state) agrees to abide by “certain principles and arrangements in order that international civil aviation may be developed in a safe and orderly manner and that international air transport services may be established on the basis of equality of opportunity and operated soundly and economically.” the articles of the convention represent those certain principles and arrangements and serve as the foundation for international aviation laws, standards, recommended practices and guidance material. articles 44 through 66 established icao as a body within the united nations. articles 1 through 43 established general principles concerning international air navigation. the following are some of the more significant articles that relate to air navigation: a) article 1 recognizes that each state has complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory. b) article 3 states that the convention applies only to civil aircraft and that each state will require their state aircraft to operate with due regard for the safety of navigation of civil aircraft. c) article 11 requires that the international air navigation laws and regulations of a contracting state relating to “the operation and navigation of such aircraft while within its territory, shall be applied to the aircraft of all contracting states without distinction to nationality, and shall be complied with by such aircraft upon entering or departing from or while within the territory of that state.” d) article 12 is the most significant requirement related to flight operations (rules of the air). this article requires that “each contracting state undertakes to adopt measures to ensure that every aircraft over or maneuvering within its territory and that every aircraft carrying its nationality mark, wherever such aircraft may be, shall comply with the rules and regulations relating to the flight and maneuver of aircraft, there in force.” this article also requires that “over the high seas, the rules in force shall be those established under this convention. each contracting state undertakes to ensure the prosecution of all persons violating the regulations applicable.” e) article 37 requires each contracting state to achieve the highest practicable degree of uniformity with icao standards and recommended practices, in matters related to the safety, regularity, and efficiency of air navigation. 3) the articles of the icao convention contain basic principles that are the foundation for icao annexes. icao annexes contain the standards and recommended practices (sarps) that have been adopted through international agreement to ensure the safety, regularity, and efficiency of air navigation. an icao standard is worded in mandatory language (shall, must, will) and is directive in nature. a recommended practice is worded in permissive language (should, may, can) and is not directive. recommended practices represent practices that, although internationally recognized as safe operating practices, are not sufficiently comprehensive or lack the mature development appropriate for an international standard. the following are the icao annexes that are most significant to gaca inspectors (operations): a) annex 1, personnel licensing. b) annex 2, rules of the air. c) annex 6, operation of aircraft. d) annex 11, air traffic services. 4) icao annex 2 specifies international rules of the air agreed upon by icao member states. these rules are equivalent to the gacars for operating within the territory of the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa). however, for operations over the high seas, annex 2 is unique since it relates to flight and maneuver of aircraft within the meaning of article 12 of the convention. over the high seas, annex 2 applies without exception (compliance is mandatory for all civil aircraft). annex 2 is incorporated by reference into gacar §91.475 (a)(1), and requires each person operating a civil aircraft of ksa registry outside the kingdom of saudi arabia to comply with annex 2 when operating over the high seas. the sections of annex 2 most relevant to the discussion of air navigation are chapter 3, general rules, and chapter 5, instrument flight rules. a) chapter 3, paragraph 3.3 specifies requirements for atc flight plans and paragraph 3.6 specifies requirements for atc services. b) chapter 3, paragraph 3.6.2 requires an aircraft to adhere to its “current flight plan” (currently effective atc clearance), to operate along the defined centerline of any ats route used, and on any other route to operate directly between the points defining that route. c) chapter 3, paragraph 3.6.5 requires that the flight crew of any aircraft operated as a controlled flight to maintain a continuous listening watch on and establish two-way communication as necessary with (as required for air traffic control) the appropriate radio frequency of the appropriate atc unit. d) chapter 5, paragraph 5.1.1 requires aircraft to be equipped with suitable instruments and navigational equipment appropriate to the route the pilot will fly. e) chapter 5, paragraph 5.2.1 requires all ifr flights to comply with the provisions of paragraph 3.6 when operating in controlled airspace. f) these requirements, as specified in chapters 3 and 5 of annex 2, mean that the aircraft must be navigated to the degree of accuracy required for atc. flight crews must maintain a continuous listening watch and communicate with atc as necessary for the purpose of atc. g) icao doc 7030, regional supplementary procedures, forms the procedural part of the air navigation plan developed by icao regional air navigation (ran) meetings to meet those needs of specific areas that are not covered in the world-wide provisions. flight crews must be aware of the regional procedures and notams for the areas in which they plan on operating, that complement the statement of requirements for facilities and services contained in the air navigation plan publications. procedures of world-wide applicability are either included in ann"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Air Operator & Air Agency — Administration", "cat": "ebook", "sub": "ops", "file": "AIR OPERATOR & AIR AGENCY - ADMINISTRATION.pdf", "html":

non-commercial balloon operations, when reviewing an application for a certificate of waiver or authorization for an aviation event that involves balloon operations, and when performing surveillance of balloon operations. it also includes safety considerations from the balloon industry. additional guidance concerning balloon competitions and meets is located in the general authority of civil aviation (gaca) ebook volume 11, chapter 2: issue a certificate of waiver or authorization for a special aviation event. a. regulatory compliance. manned balloons are a class of the lighter-than-air category of aircraft, and are operated under general authority of civil aviation regulation (gacar) part 91. unmanned moored balloons and unmanned free balloons are governed by gacar part 101. manned balloons are maintained under gacar part 43. operators of manned balloons operated commercially (e.g. sightseeing flights) must be certificated under gacar part 119 and operated under gacar part 135. balloon pilots are certificated under gacar part 61. for the purposes of balloon operations in the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa), when a balloon is secured to the ground or to a fixed object by lines which prohibit free flight, it will be referred to as a “moored” balloon secured by “mooring lines”. b. safety considerations. the following safety considerations should be observed during balloon operations. 1) when surface winds exceed 7 knots, the potential hazards with balloon launch procedures increase dramatically with the increase of wind speed. 2) balloon pilots should consider existing and forecast wind directions and velocities when selecting launch sites. if there are trees or obstructions downwind the pilot should ensure that there are adequate distances to permit the balloon to climb above them. note: extreme caution (including termination of flight) must be used anytime balloon operations are contemplated close to or upwind of high tension wires. 3) before takeoff the pilot should ensure that the ground crew is thoroughly briefed as to their duties during the planned fight. 4) balloon pilots must select appropriate launch and landing sites. under light or calm wind conditions, these sites might be quite small. 5) the pilot should ensure that existing and forecast weather conditions are suitable for the planned operations. 6) the pilot should always be aware of the possibility of becoming becalmed (unable to drift because of lack of wind) over areas offering limited appropriate landing sites. if groundspeed slows, the pilot should consider landing before drifting over those areas. 7) balloon pilots must be aware of the potential hazards of operating in areas of wind shear. these potential hazards include abrupt changes in ground speed and/or direction during takeoff or landing, changes in the shape, size, and flight characteristics, even closure of the mouth of the balloon in flight when shear exceeds 15 knots. balloon pilots must take precautions to avoid wake turbulence and rotor wash of large aircraft. c. minimum safe altitudes. gacar §91.67 (a), (b), and (c) apply to all free balloon operations. except when necessary for takeoff or landing, a balloon may not be operated below an altitude that would permit an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface. d. powered civil aircraft equipment and instrument requirements. as used in the gacars, the term “powered” refers to aircraft with horizontal propulsion systems. under gacar part 1, balloons are considered lighter-than-air aircraft and are not considered powered aircraft. as a result, the minimum equipment and instruments required for hot air and gas balloons are prescribed in the airworthiness standard identified in gacar part 31. 4.1.1.3. unmanned balloons. an unmanned balloon is a balloon that does not carry a person, even though it may be capable of carrying a crew and passengers. unmanned moored and unmanned free balloon operations must be conducted in accordance with gacar part 101. a. unmanned moored balloons. an unmanned moored balloon is a balloon that is secured to the earth by several mooring lines and does not carry a person. the mooring lines prevent the balloon from swinging in the wind and keep it in a stationary position (figure 4.1.1.1). b. unmanned free balloons. an unmanned free balloon is not secured to the earth, is controlled or monitored from the ground during flight, and does not carry a person. c. gacar part 101. 1) gacar part 101 applies only to unmanned (moored and free) balloons. gacar part 101 does not apply to hot air or gas balloons (aircraft) that are occupied by passengers and crew. all manned balloons must be operated under gacar part 91. 2) there are no airworthiness standards for unmanned balloons because carriage of passengers aloft is not intended. 3) gacar §101.29 requires an automatic (2) rapid deflation device on a moored balloon to protect airspace users from a moored balloon that separates from its moorings. an automatic deflation device operates independently of any human input. it must be designed to deflate the envelope if a balloon separates from the mooring. 4.1.1.5. manned balloons. a. manned balloon considerations. manned balloons, whether moored or free flight, are considered aircraft and must be operated in compliance with all the operating, certification, and airworthiness regulations applicable to aircraft. b. operational considerations. 1) when not in total free flight, a manned, moored balloon is limited by its mooring lines (normally three) that allow the balloon a radius of movement around the points of anchor (figure 4.1.1.2). the size of this radius of action depends on the length of the mooring lines and the strength of the wind. 2) operation of a manned, moored balloon requires essentially the same vertical control skills as those required to operate a free balloon. 3) a balloon on long mooring lines (over 50 m) may create a collision hazard between other aircraft and the mooring lines. for night operations, consideration should be given to providing lighted mooring lines. where local air traffic service (ats) service is available, the operator should advise the ats facility of the presence of the mooring lines and balloon. 4) when a balloon is moored in class d airspace, the operator must advise the appropriate ats facility of the balloon operation. c. bungee jumping. manned, moored balloons used for the purpose of bungee jumping must meet all"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Air Operator & Air

.......................................244 ............................................ 233 ...................................................207 section 1. general information and the certification process 3.1.1.1. general information. the purpose of the certification process is to provide a means by which all prospective (operators or air agencies) are authorized to conduct business in a manner which complies with all applicable general authority of civil aviation regulations (gacars). this section both standardizes and describes the certification process in detail. note: for the purpose of this section, the term “applicant” will be applicable for both an operator and an air agency. 3.1.1.3. certification introduction. the following guidance will result in compliance with the gacars. the applicant will not be certificated until the general authority of civil aviation (gaca) is assured that the applicant is capable of complying with the regulations. 3.1.1.5. the certification process. the certification process is a series of steps outlined in five phases: • phase one - pre-application • phase two - formal application • phase three - document compliance • phase four - demonstration and inspection • phase five - certification phase a. inspector assessment. the complexity of the certification process is based on an aviation safety inspector (inspector) assessment of the applicant’s proposed operation. for simple certifications, some steps can be condensed or eliminated. b. differences among applicants. some applicants may lack a basic understanding of what is required for certification. other applicants may propose a complex operation, but be well prepared and knowledgeable. because of the variety in proposed operations and differences in applicant knowledge, the process must be thorough enough and flexible enough to apply to all possibilities. 3.1.1.7. phase one - pre-application. initial inquiries about or requests for an application may come from individuals or organizations. an initial meeting between gaca personnel and the applicant will then be scheduled. the meeting may be conducted physically or virtually at the applicant discretion. a. initial inquiry. during the initial meeting, the applicant will usually have specific questions about the certificate requirements. 1) the inspector should explain to the applicant all appropriate requirements and discuss pertinent parts of the gacars. in addition, the inspector should direct the applicant to the applicable department for further handling e.g. civil aviation tariffs, gaca economic regulations and gaca security regulations. 2) at this point, the inspector should determine if the applicant is sufficiently aware of the certification requirements and access the experience level of the applicant to determine how formal the process must be. if the applicant wishes to continue with the process, the inspector may provide the applicant with a copy of the pre-application statement of intent (pasi), to fill out and return for review. 3) in addition to the pasi, it is recommended that applicants submit a letter, detailing the operation they wish to undertake, the equipment they have available, the facilities they plan to use, pilot qualifications if applicable, and the approximate date when they plan to begin operation. 4) the scope of the proposed operation (e.g., a large number of complex aircraft) may also require that the applicant (or representative) come to the gaca office for a pre-application meeting in addition to submitting a pasi. if there is any question about the need for such a meeting, the inspector should consult with the office manager. 5) an applicant who is already familiar with the certification process (i.e., an individual who has worked for a certificated air operator and/or aviation organization and wishes to start a similar business) may simply submit a completed application form during the initial contact with the gaca office. the applicant may present the application in person along with any manuals and other documents that might be required. this will usually occur only when the applicant’s operation is of limited complexity. b. certification team assignment. the gaca office manager will assign sufficient inspectors to a certification team. one team member will be designated as a certification project manager (cpm). the cpm will not only coordinate certification matters with the applicant, but will also ensure that the applicable gaca office management is kept fully informed of the project’s current status (e.g., during staff meetings). team members must strive at all times to maintain a professional and responsive relationship with the applicant. from the time of its appointment, the certification team handles all matters pertaining to the applicant, regardless of whom the applicant initially contacted. note: for the purposes of operator authorization, cpm is named as the authorization project manager (apm) or authorisation team leader (atm). 1) cpm qualifications, duties and responsibilities. for appointment as a cpm, experience as a principal inspector (pi) is desirable. however, other inspectors are acceptable depending on the situation and at the discretion of the gaca office manager. the duties and responsibilities of the cpm include the following: a) the cpm coordinates certification matters with the applicant and ensures that the office manager is kept fully informed of the project's current status. b) the cpm serves as the primary contact with the applicant. the cpm ensures each certification task is completed in an acceptable and timely manner and that all certification matters are thoroughly coordinated with each team member. c) the cpm schedules and conducts pre-application and formal application meetings with the applicant. d) the cpm notifies supervisors and the office manager of any information that may significantly impact or delay certification. periodic meetings will ensure everyone concerned is kept informed of the status of the certification. if the cpm cannot attend a scheduled meeting, the cpm appoints a team member to act as cpm. 2) team member responsibilities. each team member will respond to requests for assistance made by the cpm and keep the cpm appraised of the status of the certification. anything that may delay certification must be brought to the attention of the cpm immediately. c. pre-application meeting. after being assigned to the project, the cpm shall contact the applicant to arrange a pre-application meeting as soon as practicable. 1) the meeting should include, but not be limited to, the following: • a review of the pasi to verify that all information is complete and accurate • a review of applicable gacar parts (and how to obtain them, if not already accomplished) • a review and discussion of the certification procedures to ensure that the applicant understands what is expected • a review of what is required on the application and what attachments will be submitted with the application ( see paragraph 3.1.1.9 below) • provision of a certification job aid to the applicant (as applicable) • an indication of which inspectors will conduct specific aspects of the certification 2) operator certification tasks throughout volume 3 provide guidance on pre-application meetings for the different types of air operator or service providers. d. terminating the pre-application phase. the pre-application phase ends when the certification team is satisfied that the applicant is prepared to proceed with formal application. if the applicant is not ready, the team should advise the applicant of the problems and work with the applicant to arrive at solutions or terminate the certification process. 3.1.1.9. formal application package. at the pre-application meeting, the form, content, and documents required for formal application are discussed. an applicant’s presentation of an application package and the gaca’s review of that package are considered to be the formal application phase. a. formal application letter. the formal application must be in letter format and must contain the following: 1) the full and official name of the applicant. 2) a statement that the document is a formal application. 3) the applicant’s mailing address and the physical address of the applicant’s intended primary operating location. 4) for an air operator applicant, the full name and address of the agent (designated person who has signature authority) for service (if, as

for manned balloons; and for aircraft designated by the president under gacar part 21 as special classes of aircraft. special airworthiness certificates are airworthiness certificates issued for aircraft type certificated in the primary or restricted category, light-sport aircraft, and for experimental aircraft. article 31 of the convention on international civil aviation (icao), to which the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa) is a signatory, requires every aircraft engaged in international navigation to be provided with an airworthiness certificate (often called a certificate of airworthiness) issued or rendered valid by the state in which the aircraft is registered. in the development of procedures and directives concerning airworthiness certificates, the gaca considered two basic situations according to icao annex 8 and related icao guidance material: • the issuance of a new airworthiness certificate when an aircraft is first registered in the ksa (this can be a newly manufactured aircraft or a used aircraft being imported from a foreign state) • the renewal of an airworthiness certificate issued by the gaca note: the gaca does not validate an airworthiness certificate issued by a foreign state. note. the airworthiness certificate for aircraft registered in the ksa also includes provisions to indicate if the aircraft is in compliance with applicable noise emission standards in accordance with gacar part 36 and icao annex 16, volume i. b. references. the following regulatory references are related to issuance of airworthiness certificates: • gacar §21.165 (a), (b), and (c) provides the basis for the issuance of initial and renewal standard airworthiness certificate • gacar §21.167 provides the basis for the issuance of special airworthiness certificate • gacar §21.179 provides the basis for the issuance of special flight permit, when an aircraft does not meet the requirements for the issuance of a standard airworthiness certificate that conforms to article 31 of the icao convention. the gaca imposes operating conditions on special flight permits where the conditions are required to ensure the safety of the aircraft, other aircraft, persons, animals or property. see section 6.2.4 for additional guidance on special flight permits. 6.2.1.7. classification and catefory of airworthiness certificate. an airworthiness certificate issued to a saudi arabian-registered aircraft will be either a standard airworthiness certificate or a special airworthiness certificate. see appendix c to this section, “airworthiness certificate mapping ” for an illustration of the applications for these two types of certificates. a. standard classification. a standard airworthiness certificate may be issued for an aircraft that fully complies with all of the requirements applicable to the normal, utility, acrobatic, commuter, or transport category, manned balloons or any other special class of aircraft designated by the president. b. special classification. a special airworthiness certificate may be issued for an aircraft that does not meet the requirements for a standard airworthiness certificate. the special airworthiness certificate may be issued for an aircraft that meets the following: 1) restricted. aircraft that satisfy the requirements of gacar §21.169 . 2) light sport. aircraft that satisfy the requirements of gacar §21.170 . 3) experimental. for any category of aircraft that meets the requirements of gacar § §21.173 , 21.175, and 21.177. see section 3 for additional guidance on the issuance of a special airworthiness certificate for an unmanned aircraft system (uas) an experimental aircraft. 4) special flight permits. an operating limitations letter attached to the gaca special airworthiness certificate may be issued for an aircraft that does not currently meet applicable airworthiness requirements; however, is capable of safe flight and meets the requirements of gacar §21.179 . in certain cases, the special flight permit is authorized through issuance of an opspec. see section 4 for guidance on issues relating to special flight permits. 6.2.1.9. standard airworthiness certificate - initial issuance. a. basic eligibility requirements. the standard airworthiness certificate is used for all original and recurrent airworthiness certification of aircraft that are eligible for a standard airworthiness certificate. a standard airworthiness certificate remains valid for the validity period prescribed on the certificate (generally one hegira year), as long as maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations are performed in accordance with gacar part 21, 43 and 91. before a standard airworthiness certificate can be issued, the applicant must show the following: 1) the aircraft was type certificated under gacar part 21 in the balloon, normal, utility, acrobatic, commuter, or transport category or in the special class. 2) the aircraft conforms to its approved type design and is in a condition for safe operation. 3) any major alterations were accomplished in accordance with an approved stc or other gaca-approved data. (see gaca ac 021-03 for a listing of types of approved data). 4) all applicable ads have been complied with. 5) if altered while in another category, the aircraft continues to meet or has been returned to its approved type design configuration and is in a condition for safe operation. 6) the aircraft meets any additional airworthiness requirements required under the gacar part for which the aircraft will be operated. 7) the aircraft is properly equipped according to the minimum prescribed requirements under the gacar part for which the aircraft will be operated. 8) any other additional item required by the president. b. application for airworthiness certificate. an applicant must submit an application for airworthiness certificate and a data sheet for airworthiness certification whenever an airworthiness certificate is to be issued or amended. the application for an airworthiness certificate must be made by the registered owner or an agent who has a letter of authorization from the registered owner. the applicant must complete the appropriate sections of the application before submitting it to the gaca. use of appendix b of this section, “aircraft airworthiness certificate checklist,” may also assist the applicant during the application phase. c. documentation and records review. 1) inspectors should confirm the eligibility of make, model, and serial number of the aircraft for airworthiness certification by ensuring that the aircraft has been type certificated by the federal aviation administration (faa) (reference the faa tcds) or otherwise validated by the gaca under gacar part 21 (consult gaca airworthiness engineers for further guidance in this area). 2) obtain a properly executed application for airworthiness certificate and data sheet for airworthiness certification from the applicant, and any other forms or documents required by the gaca to process the certification, such as: a) selection of inspection program form. b) certification of inspection form. c) certification of altimeter system and altitude reporting equipment test and inspections form. d) certification of ats transponder tests and inspection form. e) certification of battery replacement of elt form. f) in addition, the inspector should request the following information from the applicant if they are not listed on the data sheet for airworthiness certification: • aircraft flight manual (afm) revision status • mass and balance report (including aircraft equipment list) • electrical load analysis • layout of passenger accommodations (lopa) note: the applicant must have the forms completed before submitting the application to the gaca. 3) coordinate with the director of airworthiness to determine that a previously submitted application for airworthiness certificate has not been denied. if it was denied, the reasons stated in the denial letter must be rectified before issuing an airworthiness certificate. 4) arrange with the applicant to make the aircraft, aircraft records, and any other data necessary to establish conformity to its type design available for inspection and review. 5) determine that the aircraft is properly registered under gacar part 47. note: certification & licensing division (c&ld) should be contacted to ensure that the hz registration has been properly issued, or whether it is a temporary or reserved registration that has not been permanently issued. 6) when all of the required records and documentation have been provided for the aircraft, review records and documentation to the extent necessary to establish the following: a) the aircraft flight manual is up-to-date. b) a mass and balance report is up-to-date and the aircraft empty mass has been established by periodic weighed within the time intervals prescribed by gacar §91.11 . c) the aircraft is properly equipped for the applicable operating rules (i.e. part 91, 121, 125, 133, 135, as applicable). inspectors should use appendix a, “determining required instruments and equipment job aid,” to assist them in establishing the applicable equipment and instrument requirements. d) the maintenance records are complete and accurate. e) the instructions for continued airworthiness (icaw) are available, complete and current. f) for aircraft operated under gacar part 121 or 125 all additional airworthiness requirements prescribed in these parts have been complied with. g) the inspection records and technical data reflect that the aircraft conforms to the type design accepted/validated under gacar part 21, that all required inspections and tests have been satisfactorily completed, and that the records are complete and reflect no unapproved design changes. h) statement of alteration and repair status: completed. this includes the manufacturers service documents form, major alteration status form, and major repair status form, as applicable. these forms must reflect the actual status of the aircraft and all alterations and repairs have been performed in accordance with approved data. i) airworthiness directives status: completed. the airworthiness directive compliance record form must reflects the actual status of the aircraft and all applicable airworthiness directives have been complied with. j) statement of life limited component/part status: completed. the applicable gaca forms must reflect the actual status of the aircraft and all components/parts are within time limits. k) airplanes with a maximum takeoff mass greater than 5700 kg, turbine powered multi engine airplanes, and turbine powered rotorcraft that were certificated in other than the transp"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Airmen — Certification", "cat": "ebook", "sub": "airmen", "file": "AIRMEN - CERTIFICATION.pdf", "html":

.......398 ....................................... 389 section 1. general information 9.1.1.1. applicability. volume 9 contains direction, guidance, and procedures for certification of airmen. applicable regulations include general authority of civil aviation regulation (gacar) part 61, 64, 65, 66, 67, 121, 125, 133, 135, 141, 142, 143 and 144. 9.1.1.3. individuals authorized to conduct certification. the airmen certification process described in this volume may be conducted by a general authority of civil aviation (gaca) aviation safety inspector (inspector) or, when authorized, by a designated examiner. the guidance in this volume applies to both inspectors and designated examiners. airmen examiners are designated in accordance with the provisions of gacar part 183 to help meet the certification workloads that exceed the capacity of the inspector workforce. all examiners performing certification shall be designated and their activities administered in accordance with this handbook. note: see volume 14 designees – appointment & management, for specific guidance on the various types of gaca designated examiners. 9.1.1.5. inspector and examiner qualifications. when a phase of certification is conducted by a designated examiner, that examiner must be qualified and current in the aircraft in accordance with the applicable gacar part, and appropriate company manuals. when a phase is conducted by an inspector, the inspector must hold the same or higher grade of certificate the applicant is seeking. when an inspector performs safety pilot duties in an aircraft, that inspector must also hold the appropriate ratings and be current in accordance with gacar §61.17 . 9.1.1.7. surveillance during certification. surveillance is an ongoing inspector responsibility which is not limited to formal inspections. when engaged in airman certification, an inspector has recurring opportunities to evaluate personnel, manuals, procedures, and training programs. when personnel performances do not meet standards or when other types of deficiencies are observed, inspectors shall report those deficiencies and recommend corrective action. inspectors are encouraged to correct deficiencies “on the spot,” with the operator’s working level personnel when practical. regardless of whether the discrepancy can be corrected “on the spot” or not, the deficiency shall be reported by the inspector on a gaca activity report (gar). reports of corrected discrepancies are as important as uncorrected ones for building accurate data bases for trend detection and analysis. discrepancies, including potential violations, may be corrected and closed out on site when mutually agreed to by the inspector and the office manager. inspectors and office managers are expected to act with discretion; however, discrepancies must be corrected in a timely manner. 9.1.1.9. inspector preparation. inspectors shall prepare themselves before conducting certification tests by becoming thoroughly familiar with the operator’s aircraft operating manual and operations specifications (as applicable). inspectors and examiners shall coordinate with a representative on acceptable methods for the conduct of certification activities for a specific operator. this shall include inspector’s access to appropriate manuals and providing briefings on approved operating minimums and on additional requirements. 9.1.1.11. testing policies. a. single applicant. only one applicant for an airman certificate or rating shall be administered by an inspector at a time; this includes both orals and flight tests. note: the practical skills test for pilots and flight engineers is referred to as a flight test. b. observers. an inspector monitoring a certification test must be allowed to observe the conduct of the test. other observers may monitor a test only when their presence has been coordinated with and agreed to by both the applicant and the inspector or examiner conducting the test. in no case shall another applicant be allowed to monitor a flight test as an observer. c. crew concept. the gaca promotes the “crew concept” in training and certification to ensure that crew coordination and flight management are adequately addressed. inspectors and examiners must evaluate the effectiveness of the applicant’s interaction with other crewmembers. to facilitate this requirement, all crew positions required by the aircraft flight manual (afm) must be occupied by qualified personnel (instructors or flight crewmembers). 1) when a flight test is conducted in an aircraft, supporting crewmembers must possess appropriate certificates and be current under the gacars. when a flight test segment is conducted in a full flight simulator (ffs) or flight training device (ftd), a supporting crewmember must be qualified to perform the duties of the crew position to a degree of proficiency equivalent to a qualified line crewmember but does not need to hold a certificate or be current. for example, a simulator instructor may not be able to qualify for a certificate due to a medical deficiency. the operator may qualify such individuals as simulator instructors by training and conducting proficiency tests equivalent to those required for certification. such individuals are qualified to act as supporting crewmembers during a certification flight test in a ffs or ftd. it is preferred and recommended that the supporting crewmember not be an applicant for a certificate or rating. 2) when flight tests are conducted in a ffs or ftd with a separate instructor’s station, inspectors and examiners shall not occupy crew positions while the flight test is in progress. except as provided in paragraph d below, inspectors and examiners shall not occupy crew positions when conducting a flight test in an aircraft. this direction and guidance allows inspectors to effectively act as evaluators rather than as participants. d. inspector, examiner, and safety pilot duty positions. a qualified and current pilot must occupy a pilot seat and act as safety pilot on all flight tests conducted in an aircraft. the preferred procedure is for the operator to provide a qualified instructor pilot or check airman to act as the safety pilot and pilot-in-command. on aircraft equipped with jump seats, inspectors will usually occupy a jump seat so that they can evaluate the crew’s interaction. however, when necessary a qualified and current inspector may act as a safety pilot and occupy a pilot’s position on pilot flight tests. this provision will normally be limited to those families of aircraft in which it is not possible for the inspector to evaluate from a jump seat. on other occasions, an inspector may be the only qualified individual available to act as the safety pilot. this may be appropriate when an operator is introducing a new aircraft type or when the aircraft is a type not typically used in part 121 or 135 operations. in such circumstances, an inspector may act as safety pilot and occupy a pilot position during the flight test. when an examiner conducts a pilot flight test in an aircraft, the examiner will usually act as the safety pilot. 9.1.1.13. aircraft operating manuals. the gacar parts frequently reference the aircraft flight manual (afm) in matters pertaining to the certification of aircrew members. many operators use the afm as an operating manual. most part 121 operators and many part 135 operators, however, extract the information from the approved sections of the afm and place it in a company aircraft operating manual. operators may modify certain afm procedures with the approval of the principal operations inspector (poi). under these circumstances, operators do not normally provide their crewmembers access to the afm. inspectors and examiners shall use the company-prepared aircraft operating manual instead of the afm for airman certification purposes. inspectors should be alert to deficiencies in the operator’s manuals and procedures and for conflicts between company manuals and the afm. when conflicts or deficiencies are observed, they shall be reported to the poi. 9.1.1.15. testing sequence and time limits. a. test sequence. for all flight crewmembers, the phases of the certification process must be completed in the following sequence: • written test • oral test • flight test b. multiple segment flight tests. when a combination of a ffs and aircraft is used for a flight test, the ffs segment must be completed before the airplane segment. c. completion of training before the oral test. applicants must be adequately prepared for each phase of the testing process. the applicant must complete ground training including systems integration training before the oral test is administered. systems integration training may be conducted using a ffs or a ftd; however, it is not considered to be flight training. when flight training is conducted entirely in an aircraft, all ground training must be completed before the oral test. when circumstances make literal compliance with these policies impractical, the poi may approve alternate provisions. d. completion of training before the flight test. when a flight test is conducted either entirely in a ffs or in an aircraft, all flight training must be completed before the flight test is conducted. when a flight test is conducted with a combination of ffs and aircraft segments, only the simulator training must be completed before the simulator segment of the flight test is conducted. the aircraft portion of the flight training does not need to be conducted until after the simulator segment of the flight test has been completed. e. time limits. the flight test phase must be completed within 60 days of completion of the oral test. if a flight test is conducted with a combination of flight simulator and aircraft segments, the aircraft segment must be completed within 30 days of the simulator segment. f. extending time limits. if an unplanned delay beyond the control of the operator occurs, the oral test may be repeated to extend the 60 day"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title":

........................................................................428 section 1. authorizing documents: general 15.1.1.1. general. one of the cornerstones of the general authority of civil aviation regulation (gacar) concept is the utilization of authorizing documents to approve all of the authorities that have been granted by the president to regulated entities who have been certificated or otherwise authorized under the gacars. the aviation regulatory system (ars) computer system includes modules for publishing and managing these authorizing documents issued by the general authority of civil aviation (gaca). a. the definition in gaca part 1 for authorizing documents is: a document issued by the president to an entity regulated under the gacar and that specifies authorizations, conditions and limitations associated with specific activities that have been authorized by the president. types of authorizing documents include, but are not limited to, air operator certificates, airmen certificates, aerodrome certificates, air agency certificates, operations specifications, certificates of authorization and certificates of waiver. b. under the gacars there are several types of authorizing documents issued: • certificates • operations specification (opspec) • foreign operator authorizations • other miscellaneous forms of authorizations c. each regulated entity under the gacars receives one or more of these types of authorizing documents. as an example: • all airmen receive certificates • all aircraft receive certificates for registration and airworthiness • all aerodromes receive certificates • except as noted below, all air operators and air agencies receive both certificates and operations specifications o non-commercial operators of small aircraft operating under gacar part 91 receive a certificate of authorizations when necessary (e.g. mel) • foreign air carriers receive a foreign operator authorization • certificates of waiver are issued to any air operator who is issued a waiver under gacar part 91, subpart h section 2. operations specifications: general 15.1.2.1. applicability. this section contains guidance concerning the issuance of operations specifications (opspecs) to general authority of civil aviation regulation (gacar) part 121, 125, 133, 135, 141, 142, 143, 145 and 147 certificate holders. direction and guidance is included in volume 15, chapter 11 for amending, canceling, suspending, or revoking the opspecs. the aviation operations safety system (aoss) is the computer system for issuing and managing all types of general authority of civil aviation (gaca) authorizations and further information on the aoss is found in chapter 2 of this volume of the handbook. 15.1.2.3. history of opspecs. the early history of commercial aviation did not provide for opspecs. a valid certificate or temporary permit was the principal authorization for conducting any commercial air operations. in addition to the certificate or permit, each operator had to possess valid competency letters, or temporary letters, issued by the appropriate aviation authority. these letters, which contained information relating to the operator’s services, routes, aircraft, maintenance, airmen, and weather procedures, were appended to and considered part of the operating certificate. the wide spread use of opspecs started in the early 1950’s and now they are an accepted document of the international civil aviation organization (icao). the uses of opspecs have now advanced to the point that under icao annex 6, all commercial air operators are required to apply for opspecs at the time of application for their certificate. icao now prescribes that opspecs must be the documents that states will use in order to specify the authorizations, conditions and limitations associated with each air operator certificate. gaca has furthered expanded the opspec concept to include all air operators (not just commercial) and air agencies as well. most of the opspecs now used in the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa) have been derived from similar opspecs in use by the federal aviation administration (faa). some faa opspecs have been deleted as they were considered outdated or not relevant to the ksa context. several new opspecs have been added. all of the gacar opspecs have been tailored to the ksa context and are matched to the gacar requirements. 15.1.2.5. conceptual need for opspecs. within the aviation industry there is a need to establish and administer safety standards to accommodate many variables. these variables include: a wide range of aircraft, varied operator capabilities, the various situations requiring different types of air transportation, and the continual, rapid changes in aviation technology. it is impractical to address these variables through the promulgation of safety regulations for each and every type of situation and the varying degrees of certificate holder capabilities. also, it is impractical to address the rapidly changing aviation technology and environment through the regulatory process. safety regulations would be extremely complex and unwieldy if all possible variations and situations were addressed by regulation. instead, the safety standards established by regulation should usually have a broad application that allows varying acceptable methods of compliance. the opspecs provide an effective method for establishing safety standards that address a wide range of variables. in addition, opspecs can be adapted to a specific certificate holder’s class and size of aircraft and type and kinds of operations. opspecs can be tailored to suit an individual certificate holder’s needs. only those authorizations, limitations, standards, and procedures that are applicable to a certificate holder need to be included. 15.1.2.7. legal basis for opspecs. opspecs and the certificates, with which they are associated, are issued under specific provisions of the gacars. the gacars are published by the gaca under the authority granted in the civil aviation law. the authority for the issuance of opspecs rests with the president or his delegated officials. 15.1.2.9. types of opspecs. there are three types of operations specifications: a. standard – mandatory. this is required for all certificate holders under the particular gacar part. the number of standard-mandatory opspecs issued to a certificate holder varies according to the gacar part under which the operation is conducted. b. standard – optional. an authorization issued for a specific type of operation that requires a certificate holder to apply for and demonstrate its qualification prior to conducting that specific type of operation (e.g. etops). c. nonstandard – optional. an authorization issued for special conditions or situations. these authorizations are usually time limited. note: figure 15.1.2.1 provides a schematic presentation of the three types of opspecs. 15.1.2.11. standard opspecs. standard opspecs are developed using opspec templates that are developed by the gaca and afford very little latitude for the aviation safety inspectors (inspectors) in terms of what is being authorized with the specific opspec template. the future development process of standard opspec templates will ensure that before standard templates are finalized, appropriate coordination is accomplished with affected industry stakeholders. since standard opspec templates specify limitations, conditions, and other provisions which operators must comply with, coordination with industry is essential to a mutual and clear understanding of the effect they will have on industry. after appropriate coordination has been completed, drafts of the new standard paragraphs/templates, or revisions to existing paragraphs/templates are finalized and incorporated into the aoss. through the use of standard opspecs, the gaca and industry are assured that certificate holders conducting comparable operations are held to the same standards. 15.1.2.13. nonstandard opspecs. occasionally, a situation may occur in which it becomes necessary to issue a certificate holder an opspec for which either the authorization requires extensive free text to identify the authorized activity and associated conditions or limitations, or for which an opspec template does not even exist. these situations are considered nonstandard because of a unique situation not provided for in the standard template. in those cases when a nonstandard template is more restrictive than the standard template, justifiable reasons must exist, since the certificate holder could be placed at a competitive disadvantage. 15.1.2.15. opspec parts. all opspecs associated with common subject matter are organized into opspec parts, each of which has an assigned letter and subject title. • part a, general • part b, en-route authorizations and limitations • part c, airplane terminal area authorizations and limitations • part d, airworthiness • part e, mass & balance • part r, rotorcraft • part t, training 15.1.2.17. opspec identifies. under the gacar, each unique opspec has a unique identifier assigned to it. the identifier includes a letter and a number. • the letter corresponds to the opspec part to which it belongs. (e.g. a, b, c, d, etc.) • the number is used to create a unique identifier example; opspec e96 addresses empty aircraft mass and balance control program • non-standard opspecs are always in the a500-series. 15.1.2.19. opspec applicability. a specific number opspec may be used under several different gacar parts but they are tailored for each gacar part. this can be illustrated by the following examples: • opspec a10 - fatigue risk management program is applicable for issuance to operations under gacar parts 121, 125, 133 or 135 • opspec a9 - aeronautical aerodrome and weather data is only applicable for issuance to operations under gacar part 121 15.1.2.17. availability of opspecs to a certificate ho"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "CORSIA", "cat": "ebook", "sub": "general", "file": "CARBON OFFSETTING AND REDUCTION SCHEME FOR INTERNATIONAL AVIATION (CORSIA).pdf", "html": "library/carbon-offsetting-and-reduction-scheme-for-international-aviation-corsia.html", "pages": 257, "sections": 68, "snippet": "This E-book defines airplane operators’ responsibilities for implementing ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.", "search": "chapter 1: administration procedures chapter 2: guidelines on monitoring, reporting and verification chapter 3 state pairs” that is available on the icao corsia website: ܥܱ2=σܯ݂∗ܨܥܨ݂ chapter 3: co2 emissions estimation and reporting methods and c. the airplane operator may use either the (1) block time input method or (2) the great circle distance d. the airplane operator using the block time input method will collect the following data and must enter chapter 4: emissions monitoring plan (cert): chapter 5: reporting part 157. unless otherwise stated, fuel use and co2 emissions must be reported to the nearest ton. icao corsia cert. icao corsia cert. gacar 157. chapter 6: verification 17.6.2.emssion monitoring plan 17.6.3. emssion report gacar; corsia corsia corsia (corsia); chapter 7: guidelines on calculating offsetting requirements chapter 8: emission units section 6 of this e-book. appendix a: timelines and compliance periods note: if the sector’s growth factor (sgf) for the year to offset is not available by 31 october of that year chapter 3 state pairs” applicable for the 2021 compliance year. chapter 3 state pairs” applicable for the 2022 compliance year. chapter 3 state pairs” applicable for the 2022 compliance year. chapter 3 state pairs” applicable for the 2024 compliance year. chapter 3 state pairs” applicable for the 2025 compliance year.

(corsia); appendix f: glossary appendix g: administrative partnerships under corsia chapter 1: administration procedures 17.1.1. introduction a. this e-book defines airplane operators’ responsibilities for implementing icao’s carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for international aviation (corsia) in the kingdom of saudi arabia. airplane operators are required to measure their fuel use from international flights. this data is then used to compute co2 emissions, which is to be reported to gaca, beginning from a 2019-2020 baseline period (appendix a). emissions in excess of internationally agreed targets must be offset via cancellation of emissions credits or other emission reduction schemes. b. the procedures specified in this chapter summarize administrative roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders involved in implementing gacar part 157. 17.1.2. applicability a. the scope of the requirements in gacar part 157 is applicable to an airplane operator that produces annual co2 emissions greater than 10,000 tons from the use of an airplane(s) with a maximum certificated take-off mass greater than 5,700 kg conducting international flights, with the exception of domestic, humanitarian, medical and firefighting flights. b. there are also specific aircraft categories that do not fall within the scope in addition to specific requirements associated with new entrant airplane operators. additionally, flights taking-off from or landing at an aerodrome of a state, or one of its territories that is not an icao member state, are not within the applicability scope of gacar part 157. 17.1.2.1. scope of applicability for offsetting requirements 17.1.2.2. international flights a. for the purpose of gacar part 157, an international flight is defined as the operation of an aircraft from take-off at an aerodrome of a state or its territories, and landing at an aerodrome of another state or its territories. b. international flights are defined regardless of the state of registration of the airplane conducting the flight, or the state to which the airplane operator has been attributed. when considering whether a flight is international or domestic, an airplane operator and gaca must use doc 7910 — location indicators, which contains a list of aerodromes and the state or overseas territory t which they are attributed. in case an aerodrome is not listed in doc 7910, the state in which the aerodrome is located should be determined on the basis of a similar location indicator (e.g., nz% for new zealand), or by identifying the overseas territory in which it is located and the state to which the overseas territory is attributed to in doc 7910. if an aerodrome is not listed in doc 7910, then the airplane operator is required to inform gaca. 17.1.2.3. airplane with a maximum certificated take-off mass of greater than 5,700 kg a. the “maximum certificated take-off mass” is defined as “the maximum permissible take-off mass of the airplane according to the certificate of airworthiness, the flight manual or other official documents”. b. the maximum certificated take-off mass is a limitation associated with an individual airplane serial number. 17.1.2.4. airplane operator with annual co2 emissions greater than 10,000 tons a. an airplane operator must assess whether its annual co2 emissions from international flights are above the threshold of 10,000 tons. if above this threshold, then the airplane operator must engage with gaca. 17.1.2.5. airplane flight categories not within the scope of the mrv requirements a. the following airplane flight categories are not considered to be within the scope of gacar part 157. i. domestic flights: a. flights within a state, or between a state and one of its territories, or between the territories of a state, are considered as domestic ii. military and state airplane flights: a. gacar part 157 does not apply to military operations, or state airplanes including (customs and police services), or specific flights carrying official government representatives. b. the airplane operator must provide evidence to gaca to prove that an operation was a military or state airplane flight. (1) if item 8 (flight rules and type of flight) of the flight plan is marked “m”, then it is considered to be a military flight according to doc 4444 — procedures for ai navigation services — air traffic management. (2) if item 18 (other information) of the flight plan is marked “sts/state”, then it is considered a flight engaged in military, customs or police services according to doc 4444. (3) if item 18 (other information) of the flight plan is marked “sts/head”, then it is considered a flight with head of state status according to doc 4444. (4) if a flight was operated solely for a military purpose, consistent with the state’s condition(s) for demonstrating the military purpose, then the flight is considered a military flight. iii. humanitarian, medical and firefighting flights a. the airplane operator should provide evidence to gaca to prove that a flight was a humanitarian, medical or firefighting flight according to doc 4444. for example, b. if item 18 (other information) of the flight plan should be marked: (1)“sts/hum” then it should be considered a humanitarian flight; (2)“sts/hosp” then it should be considered a medical flight declared by medical authorities; (3)“sts/medevac” then it should be considered a life critical medical emergency evacuation flight; or (4)“sts/ffr” then it should be considered a firefighting flight. c. one or more flights preceding or following a humanitarian, medical or firefighting flight may be exempted under the above conditions as long as such preceding or following flight(s) have been operated with the same airplane and it can be proven that such flight(s) were part of the related humanitarian, medical or firefighting operation. 17.1.2.6. attribution a. if the airplane operator changes its icao designator, aoc (or equivalent) or place of juridical registration, and is subsequently attributed to a new state, but it is not establishing a new entity or a subsidiary, then this state must become the state to which the airplane operator fulfills its requirements under this e-book at the start of the next compliance period. 17.1.2.7. gaca administrative responsibilities a. gaca will approve the airplane operator compliance on the basis of satisfactory evidence that the airplane operator meets requirements that are at least equal to those in gacar 157. b. gaca will evaluate ksa airplane operators that have not been identified as subject to gacar 157 to ensure that all airplane operators for whom the regulation is likely to be applicable according to gacar 157, §157.3 (a). use gaca data on international operations by non-corsia airplane operators as inputs to the icao cert model to compute emissions. those airplane operators with emissions near 10,000 tons should be investigated further. c. gaca will not delegate enforcement of the requirements of gacar 157, or their administrative tasks towards icao, to another state. gaca may delegate administration processes of gacar 157 to another state through an administrative partnership based on bilateral agreement among the respective states. d. the state providing capacity support through an administrative partnership must notify icao about the contracting administrating authorities, affected airplane operators, scope and duration of the administrative partnership and a copy of the bilateral agreement. chapter 9 of this e book provides an example bilateral agreement that can be used as the basis for an administrative partnership. e. the state providing capacity support via an administrative partnership should assess whether the administrating authority that has been delegated authority, which will provide administering tasks for another state, has the required resources to offer such services. f. gaca will ensure that airplane operators attributed to it are advised of the administrative arrangements prior to start of the administrative partnership and any potential changes thereafter. g. neither state will withdraw from an administrative partnership before completion of the reporting activities at the end of the reporting period, but it may withdraw from an administrative partnership according to the notice period defined in the agreement. h. gaca will submit to icao a list of verification bodies accredited in the state according to the requirements and in accordance with the timeline as defined in table a-1 above. gaca may submit updates to this list to icao on a more frequent basis. 17.1.3 new entrants a. a new entrant is an airplane operator that exceeds 10,000 tons for the first time in a given year. b. a \"new entrant\", which states that an airplane operator can be treated as a new entrant if its “activity is not in whole or in part a continuation of an aviation activity previously performed by another airplane operator”. c. “new entrant” does not include an airplane operator whose activity in whole or in part is a continuation of an aviation activity previously performed by another airplane operator. d. the following conditions should be checked to determine whether an activity of a potential new entrant airplane operator would be deemed the continuation of an activity previously performed by another airplane operator, where activity is understood to mean the operation of one or more flights on a specific state pair as identified by the departing and arriving aerodrome pairs: (1)the activity has been operated by the potential new entrant in the 12 months starting from the month in which its co2 emissions has exceeded 10,000 tons, and has also been performed by one or several other airplane operator(s) during the same 12 months or during the 6 preceding months, irrespective of whether any such airplane operator was subject to corsia or not; (2)the activity was operated by another airplane operator that had a business relationship with the potential new entrant, such as being in a parent-subsidiary relationship or part of a common holding; or the activity was operated by another airplane operator that in such timeframe was subject of a financial operation by the potential new entrant, such as a partial or complete acquisition or merger including the case of bankruptcy of the previous airplane operator. e. a new entrant (airplane operator) is exempted from corsia offsetting requirements for the first 3 years or until its annual emissions exceed 0.1% of total 2020 co2 emissions from international flights, whichever comes first. (1) example: operators a and b start operations in year 2022 as shown in the table below. according to the paragraph above, operator a will have offsetting requirements in 2025, and operator b in 2024. table 1-1: new entrant emissions corsia participation example f. for illustration, the below timeline would apply to an airplane operator that exceeds the annual co2 emissions threshold of 10,000 tons in 2026 and is considered a new entrant in accordance with guidance as described in section 1 of this e-book157-01: (1) the exemption period for the new entrant begins from 1 january 2026; (2) new entrant may monitor its co2 emissions in 2026; (3) it will monitor, verify and report its co2 emissions in 2027 and 2028; (4) the first year for which the airplane operator is subject to offsetting requirements is 2029 (full calendar year); (5) if in 2027 the new entrant exceeds the exemption threshold of 0.1 per cent of total co2 emissions from international flights in 2020, the first calendar year for which the airplane operator is subject to offsetting requirements is 2028. g. an airplane operator will be entitled to the provisions applicable to new entrants under gacar 157 in any of the years of their applicability if, the following conditions are met in such year: (1) the airplane operator has not been within the scope of applicability of gacar part 157 in each year from 2019 until the year preceding the entry year; or (2) none of the activities performed by the airplane operator are "}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Compliance Enforcement", "cat": "ebook", "sub": "safety", "file": "COMPLIANCE ENFORCEMENT & RESOLUTION OF IDENTIFIED SAFETY DEFICIENCIES.pdf", "html": "library/compliance-enforcement-resolution-of-identified-safety-deficiencies.html", "pages": 113, "sections": 103, "snippet": "The Civil Aviation Law approved via Royal Decree M/44 dated 18/7/1426H forms the foundation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s State Safety Program.", "search": "section 1. gaca compliance enforcement philosophy and policy 13.1.1.3. gaca compliance enforcement philosophy. noncompliances. 13.1.2.1. inspector responsibilities. 13.1.2.5. unit supervisor and reviewing principal inspector responsibilities. section 3. the aviation safety & environmental sustainability compliance enforcement committee (cec) 13.2.1.1. gaca activity reporting (gar). 2) 3766 (aw) chapter 2, section 2 of volume 13 of this handbook. complaints that do not allege noncompliance with the 13.2.1.5. general. § 13.27, describes what is considered to be a formal complaint of noncompliance with the gacars, and section 2 of this chapter apply equally well to the process of investigating complaints. section 2 of this chapter should be followed. 13.2.1.11. prerequisites and coordination requirements. 13.2.1.13. references, forms, and job aids. 13.2.1.15. complaint resolution/investigation procedures. witness statement: referrals checklist: gaca letterhead gaca letterhead b. 3731, 3732, 3733, 3734 (aw) 13.2.2.5. general. gaca avses. 13.2.2.15. references, forms, and job aids. 13.2.2.17. procedures. 13.2.2.19. task outcomes. section 3. determining the regulation believed violated 13.2.3.3. general. section 1. general 13.3.2.1. introduction. step 1 - determine edt applicability. step 2 - categorize safety risk level. situations. step 4 - categorize conduct. step 5 -determine the appropriate enforcement action. edt – organization determine what remedial certificate action is required. the recommended penalties and punishments. 13.3.2.13. enforcement action types. 13.3.2.15. remedial certificate action - detailed guidance. 13.3.2.17. gaca punitive policy. 13.3.2.19. special cases. part 129); section 3. sanction table 100000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 300000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 500000 sr 300 sr 500 sr 200 sr 200 sr 500 sr 1000 sr 1500 sr 50000 sr 50000 sr 50000 sr b. 3739 (aw) subpart c of gacar part 13 to certain aviation organizations and/or individuals under specific conditions. part 13, under gaca’s compliance enforcement policies, other violators would also normally not be a.

compliance with these requirements in an essential aspect for maintaining aviation safety at an acceptable level. this section provides an introduction to compliance enforcement and the resolution of all identified safety deficiencies. 13.1.1.3. gaca compliance enforcement philosophy. a. background. the general authority of civil aviation (gaca) compliance enforcement program has three broad aims and activity areas. it includes all those activities carried out by gaca to ensure that: • regulated entities (e.g. certificate holders, holders of other authorizing documents issued by the president) comply with the regulations on a continuing basis through a thorough and systematic surveillance program. • regulated entities that have been identified to be in violation of an applicable regulation are brought back into full regulatory compliance without delay. • regulated entities are deterred from committing violations by imposing appropriate punitive measures when circumstances warrant. aviation organizations required by gacar part 5 to have a safety management system (sms) are allowed certain freedoms from punitive enforcement actions provided the organization self-identifies violations and then takes proactive steps to correct any noncompliances and safety deficiencies in a timely manner and in addition take the necessary actions to prevent a reoccurrence. the compliance enforcement program commences whenever the gaca aviation standards and environmental sustainability sector (avses) learns of a violation, or alleged violation, of the gacars by way of one of the following means: • routine and non-routine surveillance • incident investigations • accident investigations • public complaints • law enforcement agencies • self-disclosure • any other means 1) no matter how aviation standards and environmental sustainability (avses) sector learns of a violation, if left unresolved, violations have the potential to adversely affect aviation safety and thus they must be rectified in a timely manner. for the gaca avses safety oversight programs to be effective, and for the kingdom of saudi arabia to meet its international obligations under international civil aviation organization (icao), gaca avses must resolve all identified regulatory noncompliances in a timely and effective manner. 2) the president has published a policy on the resolution of safety concerns and noncompliances. this policy is stated in paragraph 13.1.1.5, below. all gaca aviation safety inspectors (inspectors) shall follow this policy for the resolution of identified safety concerns and noncompliances that fall within their jurisdiction. noncompliances. a. all identified safety concerns and regulatory noncompliances shall be resolved in accordance with this policy and related work processes. b. since not all safety concerns are of equal seriousness, the gaca policy on the resolution of identified safety concerns is to assign a deadline for resolution that is inversely proportional to the seriousness of the concern. that is to say, the most serious safety concerns must be resolved immediately (e.g. before further flight) while those concerns of least seriousness may be given up to sixty days to resolve. system improvements to correct the root causes of identified safety deficiencies may be given up to ninety days to implement provided that short term corrective actions are implemented to resolve the identified safety concern. c. noncompliances are sometimes unintentional and/or of an isolated nature, while others are intentional and/or of a repetitive nature. the gaca policy on the resolution of noncompliances is to be intolerant of repetitive and intentional noncompliances by assigning short deadlines for resolution. conversely, for error based and isolated noncompliances longer deadlines may be permitted for resolution provided the safety severity is low. d. for violators who fail to meet the established deadlines or who fail to implement corrective actions to resolve the identified safety concern, the gaca must take remedial certificate actions. these actions may involve suspending or revoking the certificate, rating, authorization, or other privileges. the gaca may also pursue punitive measures in order to deter future violations. e. records shall be generated and retained in the certificate holder’s file that describes the corrective actions taken by the certificate holder and the final acceptance by gaca. for cases where actions against the certificate have been taken, the relevant documents and correspondence shall also be retained in the file. 13.1.2.1. inspector responsibilities. • aviation safety inspectors (inspectors) are responsible for having the knowledge, skill, and ability to counsel and instruct the general public, the aviation public, and the aviation industry on the accepted methods of compliance with the general authority of civil aviation regulations (garar) • inspectors are also responsible for preventing violations of regulations whenever possible. one way to assure this is through the certification process where an inspector assures that applicants are in full compliance with the gacars before issuing any certificate, rating, or authorization • inspectors also ensure that all applicable persons comply with the regulations on a continuing basis through a thorough and systematic surveillance program • if, during the performance of any of these duties, the inspector finds or becomes aware of any violation of the gacars, the inspector must investigate and report according to gacar part 13 13.1.2.3. discharging compliance enforcement responsibilities. inspectors must remember some very important issues when carrying out compliance enforcement responsibilities: a. gacars are the minimum standards for aviation safety. inspectors can and should encourage compliance with the highest possible standards; however, when it comes to enforcement, the inspector can only require compliance with the regulation, precisely as it is written. b. regulations are sometimes permissive, sometimes restrictive. restrictive regulations are enforceable; permissive regulations are not. if the regulation does not specifically say a person cannot, then a person can. this is not to say that either the stringent or lenient understanding of the gacars should always be followed. rather, the gaca’s compliance enforcement program shall not be used for a reprisal against those in the public who are uncooperative so long as they are in compliance. on the other hand, inspectors shall not: • “wink” at the enforcement of regulations they do not like or do not understand • “shrug” at regulatory standards with which they do not agree or at the failure of “good guys” to comply • have “double standards” for those who are friendly or hostile to “the cause”—aviation safety c. however, inspectors shall: 1) always be mindful of the difference in being nosy and investigating, and use the latter to establish guilt or innocence and to find both mitigating and aggravating circumstances. 2) be objective, i.e., report what they find, both bad and good—the good in those whom the inspector finds offensive and the bad in those the inspector likes. 3) leave the final sanction (if applicable) to those who must decide it, but be sure to give those individuals the basis for sound decisions in the technical analysis. 4) include the inspector’s feelings, opinions, and conjecture in the analysis, clearly separating them from the facts. 5) report what the inspector must instead of what the inspector wants; be detached and not emotionally involved. 6) take a positive, objective approach, not wasteful of diminishing resources, and always considering safety; keep in mind that proper regulation and promotion of the aviation industry are the same thing. 7) try to avoid emotional reporting. the inspector should always read what he wrote in aggravation after a “cooling off” period, and see if it still reflects a true and accurate picture of the event. consultation with other inspectors and the supervisor can sometimes be very effective, provided the inspector is willing to take the advice given. if the inspector is unwilling to accept that advice, his investigatory and reporting problems are likely to multiply. 13.1.2.5. unit supervisor and reviewing principal inspector responsibilities. a. immediate supervisors and principal inspectors (pis) are responsible for assuring that their inspectors are trained and given proper guidance in the investigation and reporting of violations. they are also responsible for: • assigning the best qualified, available inspectors to investigate and report on violations • tracking the investigation and reporting process to assure timely progression • assisting inspectors during the investigation and reporting process by giving advice and counsel b. carefully and thoroughly reviewing each report to be sure it is prepared in accordance with general authority of civil aviation (gaca) policy and guidelines. the review shall include a reference to and an analysis of each gacar. this “look in the book” is absolutely essential to assure that a violation has indeed occurred and that there is evidence in the file to support all applicable elements of the rule. 13.1.2.7. gaca management responsibilities. gaca managements (including general managers) has overall responsibility for the effectiveness and propriety of the compliance program. among those responsibilities are the quality and timeliness of each investigation and its corresponding report. section 3. the aviation safety & environmental sustainability compliance enforcement committee (cec) 13.1.3.1 general. a. the aviation safety & environmental sustainability (avses) compliance enforcement committee (cec) was formed in adherence to the executive administrative order 4/1/29568, dated 09/02/2023, by the gaca executive vice president aviation safety & environmental sustainability. b. the general manager of the safety & risk department heads the cec or whomever the executive vice president of aviation safety & environmental sustainability deems appropriate for this position. c. the cec members are all the departments’ managers and general managers within the gaca aviation safety& environmental sustainability sector. d. if the committee agrees on a course of action, but one or more of its members disagrees with the majority decision for whatever reason, the majority decision will be taken into action. in contrast, the disagreeing members’ reasoning will be listed in the committee’s agenda for future reference. 13.1.3.3 roles and responsibilities of the cec. a. the cec must ensure that all compliance enforcement cases encountered by the aviation safety & environmental sustainability sector are handled in full compliance with gacar part-13 and volume-13 of this handbook. b. the cec will maintain complete records and archives of all compliance enforcement cases handled by the aviation safety & environmental sustainability sector. such filing is in addition to the filing performed by each respective department in accordance with this volume. c. the cec must approve all compliance enforcement formal actions taken by the gaca aviation safety& environmental sustainability sector. the cec must forward compliance enforcement actions requiring senior gaca management approvals with the cec’s recommendations. d. the cec will ensure the appropriate channeling of compliance enforcement data into the safety information system of the ksa state safety program. e. the cec will compile a periodic compliance enforcement "}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Designees —

a. 1565 (op) (certificate) b. 1672 (op) (surveillance) c. 1939 (op) (designee meeting) 14.1.1.3. objective. this chapter provides aviation safety inspector (inspector) guidance regarding designated examiners who work in air transportation, including aircrew program designees (apd), designated flight engineer examiners (dfee), designated aircraft dispatch examiners (dade), and training center evaluators (tce), unless specifically stated otherwise. note: see volume 14, chapter 2, “specific aircrew designated examiner (ade) program guidance” and volume 14, chapter 3, “specific designated aircraft dispatcher examiner (dade) guidance” for additional guidance. 14.1.1.5. general. a. background. gacar part 183 allows the president to appoint persons to act as a representative of the president in carrying out certain specified functions to aid in the administration of the gacars. the information contained in this chapter addresses certain representatives of the president who are engaged in the air transportation sector. b. authority. under, gacar part 183, 183.11 (b) the director, aviation operations department, may select candidates for pilot examiner, cabin crew member examiner, aircraft dispatcher examiner, or flight engineer examiner whenever he determines there is a need. in addition to aviation safety inspectors (inspectors) who have been delegated authority by the president for administering certain regulatory function, certain specific certification tasks may also be delegated to qualified examiners (also referred to as designees) outside of the gaca. note: the policy and guidance contained in these chapters clarifies and amplifies the requirements in gacar part 183. c. need for and ability to manage a designee. by policy, the gaca will normally permit designations relating to air carriers to lapse when a need no longer exists for their services. d. designee oversight. oversight of designees requires a risk management approach based on differences in the potential impact on safety and the likelihood of error on the part of the designee. sufficient resources must be allocated to ensure effective management and efficient oversight of designees. the designee management program must be periodically evaluated to ensure it is producing the desired result. this evaluation should be data-driven and be based upon objective evidence. any decisions should be documented in accordance with the guidance material in this chapter. 14.1.1.7. types of designees. a. aircrew program designees and designated flight engineer examiners. apds and dfees are designated to conduct certification activities within specifically approved programs known as ade programs. 1) eligibility. apd/dfee candidates must be employed by the operator and qualified as check pilots or check flight engineers for the operator before they may be designated as apds/dfees. 2) appointment. principal operations inspectors (pois) should recommend apd/dfee candidates to serve in any ade program that the poi oversees to the director, aviation operations department who will then proceed with the selection and appointment process under gacar part 183. the specific functions of an apd/dfee are named in the certificate of designation, which are issued to the designee. apds and dfees are restricted to examining only those applicants employed by their operator and trained in their approved training program. b. training center evaluators. 1) tces are persons employed by a gacar part 142 certificated training center, who are authorized to conduct certification functions associated with the center’s approved gacar part 61 and 65 curricula. 2) a tce may, with the approval of the operator’s poi, be authorized to act as a check pilot for that operator. a tce who has been approved as a check pilot for an operator by its poi may also be authorized, by the poi, to conduct certification evaluations of an operator’s airmen in accordance with the operator’s approved curriculum. typically, such programs are associated with gacar part 121, 125, and 135 operators whose training is conducted under contract by certificated training centers. the authority of a tce is controlled by the certificate of designation. note: for complete details on the appointment and training requirements for tces to become check airmen for an operator, see volume 4, chapter 9. c. designated aircraft dispatch examiner (dade). unlike other air transportation designees, dades are not necessarily employees of an air carrier or a training center. in many respects, dade policy and guidance is similar to that of a designated pilot examiner (dpe). volume 14, chapter 3 contains those areas where dade policy and guidance differ from the policy and guidance in this chapter. 14.1.1.9. designee authority and responsibilities. a designated examiner is authorized by the president to conduct only those airman certification activities authorized by the president. a. privileges and limitations. the following privileges and limitations apply to designated examiners conducting evaluations of personnel in air transportation. 1) a designated examiner may: • conduct only those tests indicated on their certificate of designation • issue temporary certificates to applicants that the designated examiner has evaluated and found qualified for the certificate or rating sought • amend or alter a certificate only (1) when adding a rating to the certificate of an applicant whom that designated examiner has tested and found to be competent, or (2) when removing a restriction on a certificate which the examiner is authorized to issue • be authorized to conduct certification tests within gacar part 121, 125 or 135 training programs at any base or facility approved for the operator’s use by the poi 2) a designated examiner may not: • conduct a test for a certificate or rating that the designated examiner does not hold • normally conduct an evaluation of any applicant whom the designated examiner has instructed in preparation for the certificate or rating sought by the applicant. exceptions may be granted by the supervising inspector only on a case-by-case basis • normally conduct an evaluation of any applicant whose performance the designated examiner has found to be unsatisfactory on the previous evaluation (i.e., a different examiner is required on a “re-take”). exceptions may be granted by the supervising inspector only on a case-by-case basis • conduct special medical evaluations, tests for waivers, or any test for competency. specialists will instruct designated examiners to direct applicants for waivers, special medical evaluations, and competency tests to a gaca inspector b. professional conduct. each designated examiner must represent the president in a manner which credits the gaca. qualities such as promptness, courtesy, and professionalism are essential. each designated examiner must continuously exhibit a positive personal attitude toward safety and present a positive image of the gaca in respect to aviation safety. c. designated examiner responsibilities. designated examiners are responsible for the following: • conducting all practical tests in air transportation programs in accordance with the applicable sections of this handbook. inspectors should ensure that designated examiners are aware that all operators must have a document covering procedures and maneuvers which contains specific training and testing standards. this document should be based on the applicable airman certification standards/practical test standards (acs/pts). • submitting complete and accurate certification packages (which include the gar or locally prepared data input forms) to the supervising gaca office within 7 calendar-days of administering a test. d. multiple certification services by an examiner. a person may be designated by the gaca to perform multiple certification services as an examiner on behalf of the president. in some cases, a person: • may be designated to hold more than one type of designation; or • may be approved to conduct certification activities under more than one training program, which, in turn, may be approved for use by more than one operator. note: a designated examiner may be issued only one certificate of designation. when a designated examiner holds authority to perform multiple certification services, each authorization shall be listed on a single certificate. 1) designations. a person may be designated as more than one type of designated examiner. for example, a person might be designated as a private pilot examiner (pe) in gliders and, separately, as an apd for an air carrier and as a tce for a training center. 2) training programs. a designated examiner for an air carrier may be approved for a maximum of two different training programs. note: a training program approved by one poi for use by an operator under his oversight may be approved by another poi for use by a different operator. in such instances, a tce authorized as a check airman for an operator is viewed as having been approved under one training program. 14.1.1.11. gaca personnel. inspectors and gaca managers have oversight responsibilities for designated examiners. a. supervising inspectors. for the purposes of these chapters, supervising inspectors are referred to as “specialists.” the term “supervising inspectors” as it is used in connection with examiners comprises: • pois • aircrew program managers (apm) • tcpms • partial program managers (ppm), if appropriate • training center ppms • geographic ppms • apm assistant ppms (see volume 14, chapter 4 for definitions of terms) • inspector (aircraft dispatch) b. managers. the term “managers” as it is used in connection with examiners includes: • directors • unit supervisors 14.1.1.13. prerequisites and coordination requirements. a. prerequisites. this task requires knowledge of gacar part 61, 65, 121, 125, 135, 142 and 183 regulations and gaca policies, and qualification as an inspector (operations) with designee oversight responsibilities. b. coordination. this task may require coordination between the aviation operations department and aviation license department personnel. 14.1.1.15. references, forms, and job aids. a. references: • gacar parts 1, 61, 91, 121, 135, 142, and 183 b. forms: • gaca form 8710 6, examiner designation/qualification records c. job aids. none. 14.1.1.15. procedures. a. designating examiners. managers should consider designating examiners when the volume of certification activity makes such designations desirable for an operator and for the gaca. these conditions may occur when the volume of certification activity is relatively high, when an aircraft type is new to an operator’s fleet, or when simulator training is available. managers may consider designating examiners for fe and aircraft dispatcher certification as well as for pilot certification. managers must also consider if they have the resources available to manage designees. b. programs for apds and tces authorized as check airman. apds and tces may be designated as follows: 1) ade program. a) apds and dfees are trained in an ade program. an ade program is associated with an operator which conducts its own program of airman qualification. it is the preferred program for conducting the certification of flight crew members for complex gacar part 121, 125, and 135 operators. b) the ade program was originally designed for operators with sophisticated training capabilities (including flight simulators), with highly trained personnel, and with a large volume of certification activity. the program has since been used by a broader range of operators. c) pois and managers should consider establishing an ade program before the operator’s airman certification workload for any aircraft type exceeds the gaca’s ability to meet requirements using available inspector resources. they should also consider an ade program as a means of "}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Foreign Air Operators — Authorization", "cat": "ebook", "sub": "ops", "file": "FOREIGN AIR

the international civil aviation organization (icao) convention, the general authority of civil aviation (gaca) must insure that every aircraft flying over or maneuvering within its territory complies with the rules and regulations relating to the flight and maneuvering of aircraft. article 33 to the icao convention provides that certificates of airworthiness and certificates of competency and licenses issued, by the state in which an aircraft is registered, shall be recognized by the state (gaca), provided that the requirements under which such certificates or licenses were issued are equal to or above the minimum standards which may be established by icao. gaca is entitled, by article 16 to the icao convention to search aircraft from other states on landing and departure and to inspect the certificates and other documents prescribed by the convention and its annexes, provided there is no unreasonable delay to the operation. operators must have already shown compliance with icao standards by the original certificate issued by the contracting state, to include: • aircraft airworthiness complies with icao annex 8 • operation of aircraft complies with icao annex 6 • flight

minimum safety standards a foreign air carrier authorized to conduct operations to, from, and within the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa) must adhere. in addition, before any foreign air carrier or foreign operator may conduct any passenger or cargo operations to and from the ksa, it must obtain the applicable economic authority. 10.2.1.5. requirments for foreign air carriers. the foreign air carrier must comply with gacar part 91 and part 129 including any conditions and limitations prescribed in the gacar part 129 authorizing document, the ksa aeronautical information publication (aip) and any other applicable regulations, laws, and orders of the ksa. at all times the foreign air carrier must have appropriate economic authority issued by the gaca. in addition, the foreign air carrier must comply with the following: a. approved aircraft. the foreign air carrier must conduct its operations to, from, and within, the ksa using only the aircraft listed in the gaca authorizing document and is limited to the types of operation, special authorizations, aerodromes used and routes flown as specified by the gaca. b. leasing of aircraft. prior to conducting operations involving a lease of aircraft with crew, each foreign air carrier must provide the gaca with a copy of the lease to be executed. note: foreign air carriers may lease aircraft without crew provided that is authorized in the air operator certificate (aoc) issued by the state of operator. 1) the gaca may refuse to authorize any lease agreement of aircraft with crew not deemed to be in the public interest. 2) for leasing of aircraft with crew, the lessee must ensure the lessor is an operator holding an authorization issued under gacar part 129 or an air operator certificate (aoc) issued under gacar part 119. 3) upon authorization of a lease of aircraft with crew, the president issues amendments to the authorizing documents of each party to the agreement, as needed. the lessee must provide the following information to be incorporated into its authorizing documents, as needed: a) the names of the parties to the agreement and the duration thereof. b) the nationality, registration markings, and serial numbers of each aircraft involved in the agreement. 4) for leasing of aircraft with crew, the lessee must provide the gaca: a) a statement specifying the lessee has operational control of all operational functions and the times, aerodromes, or areas under which such operational control will be exercised. b) a statement of acknowledgment and consent to the lease by civil aviation authority of the state of the lessor and the state of the lessee, if different from that of the lessor. c. flight crew members. 1) each person acting as a flight crew member must hold a certificate or license that shows the person’s ability to perform duties in connection with the operation of the aircraft. one of the following entities must have issued or rendered valid the certificate or license, in accordance with the standards contained in annex 1 (personnel licensing) to the convention on international civil aviation: • the state in which the aircraft is registered or • the state of the operator, provided that the state of the operator and the state of registry have entered into an agreement under article 83 bis of the convention on international civil aviation that covers the aircraft 2) each pilot must be familiar with the applicable rules, the navigational and communications facilities, and the air traffic control and other procedures, of the areas he will traverse within the ksa. 3) each foreign air carrier must: • establish procedures to assure that each of its pilots has the knowledge required by this subparagraph and must check the ability of each of its pilots to operate safely according to applicable rules and procedures. • conform to the practices, procedures, and other requirements prescribed by the gaca for saudi arabian air operators for the areas to be operated in 10.2.1.7. authorizations and prohibitions. per gacar §129.3 , the following apply: • the gaca will issue authorizing documents to a person authorized to conduct operations as a foreign air carrier • each foreign air carrier’s authorizing documents will contain the authorizations, limitations, and certain procedures under which each kind of operation is to be conducted • no person may operate without, or in violation of, appropriate authorizing documents • each foreign air carrier must operate in accordance with the applicable standards contained in annex 6 (operation of aircraft), and annex 8 (airworthiness of aircraft), annex 18 (transportation of dangerous goods by air) and annex 19 (safety management) to the convention on international civil aviation • foreign air

as established by the gaca • no person may operate or list on its authorizing documents any aircraft listed on operations specifications issued under gacar part 119, subpart d 10.2.1.9. content of authorizing documents. each foreign air carrier authorized to conduct operations under gacar part 129 must obtain a foreign operator authorization (i.e. authorizing document) containing the following: • the specific location and mailing address of the foreign air carrier’s principal place of business in the state of the operator and, if different, the address that will serve as the primary point of contact for correspondence between the gaca and the foreign air carrier • the certificate number and validity of the foreign air carrier’s or aoc issued by the state of the operator • the designation of an agent within the ksa, including the agent’s full name and office address or usual place of residence • aerodromes in the ksa to be used • any other item the gaca determines is necessary note: each foreign operator authorization also includes a gacar part 129 operator limitations listing which identifies all limitations associated with the authorized operations. note: additional guidance on the development process for the foreign air carrier authorizing document may be found in volume 15, chapter 15 of this handbook. 10.2.1.11. foreign air carrier authorization process. a. a foreign air carrier applying for an authority to operate under gacar part 129 must submit an application: 1) in a form and manner prescribed by the gaca. 2) containing any information the gaca requires the applicant to submit. b. each applicant must submit its application for authorization to the gaca at least 30 working days before beginning operations to or from the ksa. c. gaca will review the submitted documentation in order to verify that the applicant complies with all applicable requirements prescribed in gacar part 129. the scope and depth of the review will be established by gaca management using risk-based principles. greater review scrutiny will be given to applicants with previously known safety concerns or who hold an aoc issued by a state who has been determined to warrant enhanced oversight. when evaluating an application by an operator from to operate within the ksa, the gaca will examine both the safety oversight capabilities and record of the state of the operator and, if different, the state of registry, as well as the operational procedures and practices of the operator. this is necessary in order for the gaca to have confidence in the validity of the certificates and licenses associated with the operator, its personnel and aircraft, in the operational capabilities of the operator and in the level of certification and oversight applied to the activities of the operator by the state of the operator. inspectors can obtain information on the safety oversight capabilities, and the level of compliance with icao standards, of another state by accessing information from the icao universal safety oversight audit programme (usoap). this information is available on the icao website http://www.icao.int and accessible through the flight safety information exchange (fsix) – safety oversight information – audit reports (1999-2004) or audit reports (comprehensive systems approach). further information is available by accessing audit summary reports from the usoap audits available to states on the icaonet http://www.icao.int/icaonet/. full information on usoap audit results, available only to states, can be found on the icao safety oversight audit (soa) secure site which is accessible, subject to an appropriate password, through the fsix home page. the soa secure site has been developed to provide all contracting states with the ability to access safety critical information collected from contracting states that completed the state aviation activity questionnaire (saaq) and compliance checklists in preparation for the usoap audit and from the safety oversight usoap audits conducted under the comprehensive systems approach. this secure site contains final safety oversight audit reports including the audit findings, recommendations, state’s action plan and comments, as well as the comments of the safety oversight audit section on a state’s action plan in addition to all relevant information derived from the audit findings and differences database (afdd). inspectors can also obtain information on an operator from another state by application to the state of the operator, for reports of any inspections that may have been conducted, and from the international register of air operator certificates to be established by icao. inspectors can also request access to reports of audits of the operator in question, conducted by independent aviation audit organizations and / or by other air operators, such as code-sharing partners. such non-regulatory audits should be used in conjunction with other information such as a report from the icao universal safety oversight audit programme (usoap) or other inspection results to evaluate the application. other considerations tha"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title":

implementing policies, processes, and procedures and directs the activities of general authority of civil aviation (gaca) aviation safety inspectors, engineers, and specialists responsible for the certification, technical administration, surveillance, compliance enforcement and the resolution of identified safety concerns of all aircraft, airmen, air operators, air agencies, aerodromes, air navigation service providers and many other aviation activities conducted in accordance with the applicable parts of the general authority of civil aviation regulations (gacars). b. this manual also, provides the required information to all regulated entities under the gaca aviation safety regulations (gacars) on the gacars implementation policies, processes, and procedures that are applied to those entities by gaca inspectors, engineers, and specialists. c. this manual contains mandatory policies and procedures guidance for inspectors, engineers, and specialists. all inspectors, engineers, and specialists will be expected to follow the mandatory policies and procedures unless otherwise authorized by the president. if the guidance in this manual conflicts with the gacar, the gacar takes precedence. inspectors should refer questions about such conflicts to their immediate supervisors. d. this manual also provides direction for tasks related to aircraft accidents and incidents, investigations, the state safety program, administrative areas, and miscellaneous tasks not related to a specific regulation. e. in addition, it contains requirements for other aviation safety & environmental sustainability sector personnel performing duties in the support of inspectors. 1.1.1.3. standardization and coordination. a major objective of the gaca aviation safety & environmental sustainability sector is to standardize the functions of the inspector, engineer, and specialist positions. for this reason, any change to this manual must be in accordance with the approved aviation safety & environmental sustainability revision process. a. deviations from this manual. inspectors, engineers, or specialists who find that specific requirements in this manual do not apply to a specific case, should forward a request, through their supervisor/manager, to the executive vice president (evp) of the aviation safety & environmental sustainability for permission to deviate from the requirements. the request should specify the alternate means that will be used to meet the intent of the guidance or procedures from which he wishes to deviate from. the evp will assess the deviation request and either accept or deny the request. the evp decisions will be communicated to the general manager of the affected department via a signed memo. b. authority to change this document. the aviation safety & environmental sustainability executive vice president or his delegates must approve all changes to this manual. prior to any change, the evp may appoint a review committee to study all proposed changes. the committee will study the proposed changes and provide the evp with recommended action. c. conflicts with other gaca guidance. the guidance in this manual may conflict with guidance previously issued by gaca in other policy documents and directives. this situation may arise inadvertently or because it is impractical to revise all orders simultaneously. in such a case, use the guidance with the most recent date. if the guidance in this manual conflicts with the gacar, the gacar takes precedence. inspectors should refer questions about such conflicts to their immediate supervisors. d. availability of this manual. this manual is available to both gaca personnel and to individuals outside the gaca. inspectors should advise operators and other service providers of the availability of this manual. 1.1.1.5. manual revisions. note: individuals at all levels of the gaca aviation safety & environmental sustainability and individuals in the aviation industry are encouraged to make suggestions for revisions to the manual. a. policy questions or concerns. questions or concerns regarding policy issues that cannot be resolved by the applicable general manager must be coordinated with the evp. in that situation the general manager should contact the evp and provide complete details regarding the issue or concerns, including reasons why he is not able to resolve the issue or concern. b. manual revision process. the aviation safety & environmental sustainability revision process is coordinated and managed by the aviation safety & environmental sustainability regulations & standards department under the authority of the executive vice president aviation safety & environmental sustainability. the need for a revision may become evident when a change occurs in the aviation industry, within the gacar, the gaca organization, gaca policies or changes in the global civil aviation domain. the revision process follows the following steps: 1- the evp issues instructions for the revision with the assignment to the appropriate aviation safety & environmental sustainability personnel to develop and prepare the required revision. 2- review and notification. the regulations & standards department is the custodian of this manual. the regulations & standards department (in coordination with the evp) will review and consider all questions, concerns, or suggestions submitted. the regulations & standards department will acknowledge receipt of each suggestion. 3- the regulations & standards department coordinates and manages the preparation of the required revision, then prepares the standard gaca ebook amendment docket (gaca_ebook_f-002). 4- the gaca ebook amendment docket is then raised to the executive vice president aviation safety & environmental sustainability for evaluation and evp approval. c. presentation of changes. each revision to a volume of this manual results in the version being indexed upward by one. the version of each volume is noted in the document footer (when printed) and in the volume title as read online. a log of versions is maintained that can be used to track all of the current and prior versions to each volume of the manual. a summary of changes is also maintained that provides a brief explanation of all the changes of the manual. 1.1.1.7. directive and guidance information. a. directive information. directive information is information considered directive in nature, contains terms such as \"shall,\" \"will,\" or \"must,\" and means the actions are mandatory. \"shall not\" prohibits the action. the use of these terms will leave no flexibility, and inspectors must follow their direction unless otherwise authorized by the evp. b. guidance information. guidance information is information considered guiding in nature and will contain terms such as \"should\" or \"may.\" these terms indicate actions that are desirable, permissive, or not mandatory, and allow flexibility. c. the use of faa and icao guidance material incorporated by reference. in certain specified circumstances, guidance information published by the federal aviation administration (faa) or the international civil aviation organization (icao) is incorporated by reference in this manual. the faa guidance information may contain references to the faa organization structure and regulatory structure that are not applicable in the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa). in general, when faa guidance material is incorporated by reference, inspectors should follow the technical content presented. content referring to faa procedures, processes and databases that are clearly not applicable in the ksa should generally be ignored. if inspectors are unsure of how to proceed, they should consult with their supervisor. the icao guidance information is generally sufficiently general in nature that it is applicable to any state but if inspectors are unsure of how to proceed, they should consult with their supervision. section 2. writing principles for gaca aviation standards regulatory documents 1.1.2.1. purpose. the purpose of this section is to stipulate the writing principles for gaca aviation standards regulatory documents. such documents include, but not limited to the gacars, gaca ebooks, advisory circulars (gaca-acs), and safety bulletins (gaca-sbs). 1.1.2.3. general. the drafter of gaca regulatory documents needs to be clear and concise when writing such documents. this is important because all aviation service provides are expected to align with these provisions. if they can't understand what is written, it could lead to confusion which can lead to inconsistent implementation, inefficiency, and risk. writing in plain language does not mean “dumbing down” the provisions. it means writing in clear, concise, and easy to understand language. it is often more difficult to express provisions in this manner because some provisions are necessarily complex. although there are several simple techniques to make your writing clear and effective. this section describes the most critical ones. you must follow them when writing gaca related documents. this document contains the following principles that should be used when writing gaca aviation standards regulatory documents: 1. organize your document. 2. clarify the primary intent of a provision. 3. write informative headings. 4. introduce each paragraph with a topic sentence. 5. write in the active voice. 6. use of verbs. 7. avoid unnecessary qualifiers. 8. be consistent. 9. be positive. 10. use consistent grammatical structures. 11. use short, simple words. 12. write short sentences. 13. write short paragraphs. 14. avoid dense text and complex instructions. 15. use of brackets. 16. use of the forward slash 17. avoid noun clusters. 18. use of numbers and symbols. 19. use gender-free language. 20. use of digits. 21. use of more than one unit of measure. 22. use of singular vs. plural. 23. use of means and includes. 24. use of abbreviations and acronyms. 25. use of quotation marks. 26. use of figures. 1.1.2.5. writing principles for gaca regulatory documents. 1- organize your document. the key to clear writing is to present material in the order that is most useful to the reader. if your document deals with a process, organize it chronologically, first step to last. you can also organize documents by putting the most important points first and the minor ones at the end. put standard provisions first and exceptions last. sometimes a combination of these organizational methods is useful. whichever method you use, keep your reader in mind and be consistent. ask yourself, “what will help my reader understand and follow my document?” 2- clarify the primary intent of a provision. be clear about the primary intent of a provision. for example, if the intent is to ensure an operator carries out specific checks, it is better to write “the operator must carry out checks...” rather than “the operator must establish procedures to carry out checks…” the former focuses on the intent of the provision, while the latter focuses on the need to establish procedures. while the operator does need to establish the necessary procedures in order to carry out the checks, the second formulation detracts from the primary intent of the provision. it should be implicitly understood that procedures will need to be established for the checks to be carried out properly. 3- write informative headings. most documents benefit from headings. however, it’s important that you use useful headings. after good organization and active voice, informative headings are the most helpful way to guide readers through your document. your reader should be able to decide, based on the heading, if they need to read a paragraph. don't waste a reader’s time by using headings that are not informative, such as \"general\" or \"transfer\" or \"training.\" instead, headings should give the reader a synopsis of what information follows, such as \"gen"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Ground Services", "cat": "ebook", "sub":

aerobatic practice area and/or an aerobatic contest box. upon approval of the application, a general authority of civil aviation (gaca) certificate of waiver with attached special provisions is issued to the applicant. note: see volume 4, chapter 2, section 2, waivers and authorizations for additional guidance on the waiver process. 11.1.1.5. general. waiver preparation for an aerobatic practice area is discussed in paragraph 11.1.1.7, and for an aerobatic contest box in paragraph 11.1.1.9. note: aviation safety inspectors (inspectors) and applicants should review the application processing flowchart for an aerobatic box in figure 11.1.1.1. note: the term inspector in charge (iic) will be used for the inspector tasked with approving the certificate of waiver. a. background. the unique special provisions for evaluating an application and issuing a waiver for aerobatic practice areas or aerobatic contests include the requirements for the application process, the issuance of the waiver, and the surveillance of the activity. 1) a separate set of suggested special provisions may be used for each type of waiver. 2) waivers are issued for specific activities in the following two airspace areas: a) an aerobatic practice area is established for the purpose of practicing aerobatic skills. b) the aerobatic contest box is established for the sole purpose of conducting competitive aerobatic demonstrations in accordance with the rules, procedures, and practices of the international aerobatic club (iac). gaca may elect to recognize the rules, procedures, and practices of the iac for its use in its issuance of waivers and in its monitoring of aerobatic operations. 3) the user of an aerobatic practice area or an aerobatic contest box is not required to hold a statement of acrobatic competency. 4) each activity requires a waiver with attendant special provisions appropriate to the site and the activity. b. regulatory authority. the regulatory authority for the issuance of waivers of general authority of civil aviation regulation (gacar) part 91 for aerobatic practice areas and aerobatic contest boxes is based on the authority vested in the gacars. all airspace waivers must be fully coordinated by gaca ss&at with air traffic services (ats) to ensure safety of flight in the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa) airspace system. airspace waivers may be issued up to, but may not exceed, 24 calendar-months. requests for waivers are processed by the flight operations division. the final approval of the waiver is the responsibility of the manager, flight operations division. c. application. applications for a certificate of waiver for aerobatic purposes are processed in the following manner. 1) aerobatic practice area. there are short term and long term practice areas. a) the application form should be submitted 30 days or more prior to the use of the practice area to allow for sufficient processing time. b) short term aerobatic practice areas: • are associated with airspace for use of less than 10 days in duration • are associated with a special aviation event or aerobatic contest c) long term aerobatic practice areas: • are associated with airspace use for periods from 10 days to no more than 24 calendar months in duration • iics may need to consider environmental factors that could affect the proposed use of the airspace as described in the application. iics should consult their supervisor if they believe that environmental or other factors affecting or of interest to other government agencies might be involved with the proposed activity. 2) aerobatic contest box. when applying for an aerobatic contest box: a) the application form should be submitted 60 days or more prior to the contest to allow for sufficient processing time. b) the gaca will process the application for a contest within 30 days of receipt. c) because thorough planning has a direct bearing on the success and safety of an aerobatic contest box, the applicant is encouraged to develop an effective plan that covers all facets of the coordination and use of the contest box. the iic should assist the waiver applicant by discussing the following: • proper site selection (controlled and uncontrolled aerodromes, or other sites suitable for aerobatics) • the size, scope, and location of the contest • the category of competitors • a plan for spectator control (if appropriate) • the preparation of notices to airmen (notam) 3) upon receipt, the application should be reviewed for discrepancies. if discrepancies exist, a meeting with the applicant may be helpful in resolving them. note: although not required, applicants may receive assistance with the application documentation for an aerobatic contest box by contacting the iac. gaca does not require any applicant to be a member of the iac; but may recognize the iac’s expertise in this area. d. approval. waivers are processed and issued using procedures prescribed in volume 4, chapter 2, section 2 of this handbook. 1) waivers for an aerobatic contest box or a box for an aerobatic practice area are approved upon satisfactory review of the application. 2) certificates of waivers are issued using procedures prescribed in volume 15, chapter 14 of this handbook. 11.1.1.7. aerobatic practice areas. pilots who wish to practice aerobatic maneuvers that do not meet the requirements of gacar §91.417 must obtain a waiver. such maneuvers will be performed in a designated area referred to as an aerobatic practice area. these areas are not to be considered event or competition sites. the aviation community uses these practice areas to establish and maintain proficiency as well as to enhance competitive skills in aerobatic maneuvers. aerobatic practice areas are established by the waiver applicant in conjunction with the gaca and may have dimensions of several kilometers in various directions or be as small as a contest box. inspectors should be receptive to establishing these areas, consistent with safety regulations and in compliance with current guidance found in this handbook and associated publications. it is imperative that the safety of all nonparticipating aircraft be considered when issuing a certificate of waiver for an aerobatic practice area. a. waivers. when a waiver is issued for an aerobatic practice area, it generally includes provisions for: 1) aerobatic flight below 1,500 feet (460 meters) above ground level (agl). 2) other portions of gacar §91.417 may be waived if the proposed operation involves an airway or class b, c, d, or e airspace designated for an aerodrome. 3) applicants for aerobatic practice areas located directly over or in the immediate vicinity of an aerodrome, although not required, should coordinate the planned activity with aerodrome management. this is in keeping with a “good neighbor” policy and provides a means for addressing potential aviation safety concerns. the gaca will review, verify, and evaluate any potential safety concerns and modify the special provisions attached to the certificate of waiver accordingly to address these concerns. 4) the applicant is charged with addressing known environmental concerns in their application and iics (in consultation with their supervisor) are charged with considering environmental issues during their review of the application. this ensures that environmental impacts are considered when deciding where a proposed aerobatic practice area should be located. the waiver applicant should consider coordinating with the residents, landowners, and municipalities where aerobatic flight is planned to be conducted. b. definitions. 1) aerobatic flight. the provisions of gacar §91.417 constitute the definition of aerobatic flight. 2) special aviation event. a special aviation event include air shows, closed-course air races, certain parachute demonstration jumps, fly ins, balloon meets, and competitions that are conducted before an invited assembly of persons. aerobatic competitions are not considered to be special aviation events since the public is not invited (see volume 11, chapter 2, issue a certificate of waiver or authorization for a special aviation event). 3) inspector in charge (iic). the inspector who is assigned the responsibility of processing the waiver application and for conducting ongoing surveillance of the aerobatic practice area. 4) responsible person. the person named specifically named on the certificate of waiver. 5) temporary flight restriction (tfr). a regulatory action issued via the notices to airmen (notams) system to restrict certain aircraft from operating within a defined area, on a temporary basis, to protect persons or property in the air or on the ground. typical events associated with a tfr are major events or gatherings, natural disasters, air shows, special security areas, and movements of dignitaries. c. scope of waivers. per gacar §91.601 , a certificate of waiver may only be authorized for the rules listed in gacar §91.611 . 1) some aerobatic maneuvers may require only a waiver of gacar §91.417 (e) to permit aerobatic flight at less than 1,500 feet (460 meters) above the surface. others may require the waiver of speed limitations, minimum safe altitudes, operations in controlled airspace, or specific prohibitions while operating in the vicinity of an aerodrome. 2) the following approved sections of gacar part 91 that are commonly waived for aerobatic contests and/or aerobatic practice areas: gacar § §91.65 , 91.67, 91.125, 91.127, 91.129, 91.131 and 91.417, depending on the location, congestion, and complexity of the area in which aerobatics will take place. 3) waivers of the basic vfr weather minimums specified in gacar §91.165 may be considered only in areas where the entire aerobatic maneuvering area is totally within class b, c and d airspace or a temporary flight restriction. d. regulations that may not be waived. 1) gacar §91.67 (a) and (b) may not be waived at any time for an aerobatic practice area. 2) gacar §91.161 may not be waived for any operations conducted in an aerobatic practice area. however, the iac holds an exemption for fuel required during flight in vfr conditions. this exemption applies only during the conduct of officially sanctioned aerobatic contests and associated practices. e. air traffic (ats) coordination. aerobatic practice areas may be located at controlled or uncontrolled aerodromes or in sparsely populated areas far removed from any persons and/or congested areas. the iic determines the location of these practice areas through proper coordination with the waiver applicant and the appropriate ats. use of the area may be for a short duration, once each year for annual qualification, or for all hours of the day and/or evening. iics should coordinate with the ats unit having primary airspace jurisdiction over the proposed practice area. the waiver shall not be signed unless the working file contains documentation of ats coordination. f. night operations. aerobatic performers who conduct night aviation event operations should practice their routines in realistic conditions before the actual flight at an aviation event. numerous air show performers of both powered and unpowered aircraft need to practice their routines in areas that offer no obstructions and little or no distractions during the hours of darkness. 1) in order to facilitate practice sessions, iics should determine i"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Safety Management Systems — General", "cat":

information 3. conclusions 4 safety recommendations section 1. general information 2.1.1.1. the evolution of safety management systems (sms). as part of the continuous development of civil aviation over the past 100 years there has been steady evolution of safety practices and a corresponding steady improvement in aviation safety. a. several years ago there was recognition among the leading authorities in the domain of aviation safety that further improvements in safety practices were required in order to improve the level of safety of civil aviation. out of this work the concept of safety management systems was developed. b. the international civil aviation organization (icao) was an early promoter of sms principles and in 2006 they established standards and recommended practices (sarps) for safety management systems for icao annex 1, 6, 8, 11, 13 and 14. in effect, icao mandated the implementation of sms regulations for all commercial air operators and non-commercial air operators of large aircraft engaged in international air transportation, repair stations, aircraft manufacturers, pilot training organizations, international aerodromes and air traffic service providers. 2.1.1.3. sms regulations in the kingdom of saudi arabia. the kingdom of saudi arabia (ksa) published its first set of sms regulations in march 2009 but there was no systematic implementation of these regulations at that time. with the publication of the general authority of civil aviation regulations (gacar) in 2012, new safety management system regulations were included in part 5. gacar part 5 is modeled after the icao sms sarps and it includes all of the icao mandated sms components and elements. gacar part 5 adopts a similar structure and rule language to that used in the sms regulations of the united states (u.s.), federal aviation administration (faa).table 2.1.1.1 provides a complete comparison between the gacar part 5, 14 cfr part 5 and icao sms requirements. gacar part 5 is applicable to the following certificate holders: • all air operators certificated under gacar part 119 • all aerodromes (except heliports) certificated under gacar part 139 • all pilot schools, flight engineer schools and training centers certificated under gacar parts 141, 142 and 143 that operate aircraft • all repair stations certificated under gacar part 145 • all air traffic service providers authorized under gacar part 171 a. for the most part, the gacar part 5 sms requirements are general requirements in the sense that they do not distinguish between an sms for an air operator versus an sms for an aerodrome, for instance. the gacar part 5 sms requirements apply to any certificate holder required to have an sms. gacar part 5 does, however, include an appendices that lists several special sms requirements that are only applicable to certain kinds of aviation organizations. gaca calls these “sector specific” sms requirements. 2.1.1.5. the purpose of this ebook volume. volume 2 of this handbook is dedicated to the subject of safety management systems. this volume provides detailed guidance for aviation safety inspectors (inspectors) to use when evaluating the sms that have been implemented by aviation organizations to which the sms regulations apply. like gacar part 5, for the most part, the sms guidance in this volume is general in nature in the sense that it does not distinguish between an sms for an air operator versus an sms for an aerodrome, for instance. the sms guidance applies to any aviation organization required to have an sms. like gacar part 5, where special sms guidance is required to address special sms requirements that are only applicable to certain kinds of aviation organizations, these items are clearly noted in the volume. 2.1.1.7. the structure of this handbook volume. this volume of the handbook is organized to facilitate ease of use by inspectors. chapter 1 includes introductory remarks of the evolution of sms concepts and regulations. chapter 2 outlines in detail the sms framework and it lists the general objectives and expectations for each of the required components, elements and processes that make up an sms. chapter 3 explains the phased implementation process for sms. phased implementation is only permitted for existing certificate holders under the transitional provisions of gacar part 199. chapter 4 explains in detail the tools used by inspectors for assessing an sms to ensure that it complies with the sms framework and therefore gacar part 5 requirements. chapter 5 explains in detail the processes and tools to be used by inspectors when formally accepting an sms. formal gaca acceptance of an sms is a regulatory requirement under gacar part 5. chapter 6 presents additional guidance concerning certain key topics associated with sms. and finally, chapter 7 includes guidance related to sector specific sms requirements. 2.1.1.9. linkages to other ebook volumes. although this volume is dedicated to sms topics, several other handbook volumes will be needed by inspectors overseeing compliance with the sms requirements. specifically, volume 12 includes guidance for inspectors concerning the ongoing surveillance of an aviation organization’s sms and volume 13 includes guidance to be used when safety concerns or non-compliances associated with an sms are identified. table 2.1.1.1. sms requirements concordance table 2.2.1.1. background. a. the objective of this chapter is to describe, in detail, the framework of a safety management system (sms). the sms framework is composed of components, elements, and processes, each of which is explained in terms of its functional expectations, or how they would need to be used in order to contribute to an effective sms. these functional expectations are further defined in terms of performance objectives (what the process needs to do) and design expectations (what needs to be developed) to better align with current system safety and safety oversight models. b. the sms framework addresses two important needs: 1) to provide one standard set of concepts, documents, and tools for the development and implementation of sms that complies with general authority of civil aviation regulation (gacar) part 5. 2) to make the general authority of civil aviation (gaca) documents and tools align with the structure and format of the international civil aviation organization (icao) sms framework. it should be noted that this sms framework also aligns exactly with the federal aviation administration (faa) sms framework. 2.2.1.3. scope and applicability. a. scope. this framework provides guidance for sms development by aviation organizations (for example, commercial air operators, schools and training centers, repair stations, air traffic service providers, and aerodrome operators) and forms the basis for sms assessments which are described in detail in chapter 4 of this volume. b. applicability. the gaca views the objectives and expectations in this framework as a minimum for an aviation organization to develop and implement in order to comply with the sms requirements as specified in gacar part 5. 1) this framework describes the objectives and expectations for an aviation organization’s sms. 2) this framework is intended to address only operational and support processes and activities that are related to aviation safety and not to address those related to occupational safety, environmental protection, or customer service quality. 3) aviation organizations are responsible for the safety of services or products they purchase or contract from other organizations. 4) this document establishes the minimum objectives and expectations for an effective and compliant sms; aviation organizations may establish additional or stricter requirements. c. references. this framework is in accordance with the following documents: • icao annex 19, safety management • international civil aviation organization (icao) document 9859 (as amended), icao safety management manual (smm) • icao document 9734, safety oversight manual • faa safety management system

that results in death, injury, occupational illness, damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment. b. accountable executive. the single, identifiable person having final responsibility for the effective and efficient performance of the organization’s sms. c. analysis. the process of identifying a question or issue to be addressed, modeling the issue, investigating model results, interpreting the results, and possibly making a recommendation. analysis typically involves using scientific or mathematical methods for evaluation. d. assessment. the process of measuring or judging the value or level of something. e. attributes. system attributes, or the inherent characteristics of a system, are present in any well-defined organization and apply to an effective sms. while the six system attributes were first applied with the faa’s air transportation oversight system (atos), there are conceptual differences when applied to sms. f. audit. scheduled, formal reviews and verifications that evaluate whether an organization has complied with policy, standards, and/or contract requirements. an audit starts with the management and operations of the organization and then moves to the organization’s activities and products/services. g. authority. who can direct, control, or change the process, as well as who can make key decisions such as risk acceptance. this attribute also includes the concept of empowerment. h. aviation system. the functional operation or production system used by an organization to produce an aviation product or service (see system and functional below). i. complete. nothing has been omitted and what is stated is essential and appropriate to the level of detail. j. conformity. fulfilling or complying with a requirement [ref. iso 9001-2000]; this includes but is not limited to complying with federal regulations. it also includes complying with company requirements, requirements of operator-developed risk controls, or operator policies and procedures. k. continuous monitoring. uninterrupted (constant) watchfulness (checks, audits, etc.) over a system. l. controls. controls are elements of the system, including hardware, software, special procedures or procedural steps, and supervisory practices designed to keep processes on track to achieve their intended results. organizational process controls are typically defined in terms of special procedures, supervisory and management practices, and processes. many controls are inherent features of the sms framework. practices such as continuous monitoring, internal audits, internal evaluations, and management reviews (all parts of the safety assurance component) are identified as controls within the design expectations. additionally, other practices such as documentation, process reviews, and data tracking are identified as controls within specific elements and processes. m. corrective action. action to eliminate (remove) or mitigate (lessen) the cause or reduce the effects of a detected nonconformity or other undesirable (unwanted) situation. n. correct. accurate without ambiguity or error in its attributes. o. documentation. information or meaningful data and its supporting medium (e.g., paper, electronic, etc.). in this context, documentation is different from records because documentation is the written description of policies, processes, procedures, objectives, requirements, authorities, responsibilities, or work instructions; whereas records are the evidence of results achieved or activities performed. p. evaluation. an independent review of company policies, procedures, and systems. if accomplished by the company itself, the evaluation should be done by a person or organization in the company other than the one performing the functio"}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Surveillance", "cat": "ebook", "sub": "safety", "file": "SURVEILLANCE.pdf", "html": "library/surveillance.html", "pages": 643,

observation forms 12.1.1.1. introduction. a. background. the civil aviation law authorizes the general authority of civil aviation (gaca) to conduct surveillance of certificate holders in order to ensure compliance with the general authority of civil aviation regulations (gacars). specifically, article 17 and article 83 of the law which permits the president to: • “ authorized representatives of the authority ... enter offices and premises of national and foreign air carriage companies and establishments, as well as air freight and aircraft ground service companies and agencies to inspect them and monitor the implementation of the conditions of the licenses and permits issued thereto for the performance of the activities thereof...” • “ said representatives shall have the right to access any documents as may be deemed necessary to perform said inspection and may seize any documents found to be in violation of the provisions of this law, licenses or permits issued to said companies or agencies or instructions issued by the authority” • “ the authority may inspect aircraft in order to verify airworthiness thereof, and may, if necessary, suspend airworthiness certificates and issue the necessary instructions therefore in accordance with controls and procedures set forth in the regulations.” the civil aviation law also authorizes the gaca to take actions (e.g. amend, suspend, revoke) against certificates issued by the gaca if the certificate holder has failed or is unable to meet or maintain the required standards. in addition to the civil aviation law, the gacar parts include sections that require certificate holders to grant access to the president (and his authorized representatives) in order to make any necessary inspections to ensure compliance with the regulations. b. surveillance is one of the most significant duties of the gaca. surveillance is a duty and responsibility of all aviation safety inspectors (inspectors) and is carried out in order to ensure the continued compliance of certificate and license holders with the gacars. information generated from the surveillance programs permits the gaca to act upon deficiencies which affect or have a potential effect on aviation safety. 1) for an organization to receive certification, the organization is required by regulation to publish manuals (e.g. operations manual (om), repair station manual (rsm), quality control manual (qcm), maintenance manual (mm) in part 121 and maintenance control manual (mcm)/ maintenance procedure manual (mpm) in part 125) which clearly explain how the organization intends to meet the requirements of the standards and regulation under which the organization will be operating. the manuals are reviewed during the gaca certification activities to ensure that the means to achieving compliance with regulatory requirements is referenced and documented. 2) once certificated, the organization’s manuals form regulatory standards to which the organization will be evaluated. if for any reason process and/or procedure specified in a manual are inadequate or are not being complied with by organization personnel, such deficiencies must be brought to the attention of the organization for rectification. moreover, non-conformance with other regulatory requirements must also be brought to the attention of the organization. where a non-conformance is identified during an inspection, a finding will be assigned citing examples of the deficiencies, corrective actions will be implemented and follow-up will be conducted in accordance with the process specified in this process. 3) checklists, forms, reports and material are designed to provide inspectors and organizations with guidance information in effort to accurately assess an organization level of conformance with regulatory requirements. checklists may be general in nature or refer to more specialized checklists, forms or guidance material. inspectors may also supplement these checklists with information contained in other authoritative publications as required. 12.1.1.3. objective of surveillance programs. the broad aim of the gaca surveillance program is to ensure that all significant aspects of a certificate holder’s procedures and practices are evaluated on a continuing basis. the gaca surveillance program encompasses a number of elements that, as a total surveillance package, provides for thorough and ongoing assessment of the certificate holders’ degree of compliance with the gacar. the gaca surveillance program includes the following elements: • scheduled audits and inspections performed in accordance with a surveillance plan that is derived from the gaca surveillance policy • inspections performed as part of certificate renewals • periodic random inspections • special purpose inspections when condition warrant 12.1.1.5. planning and executing surveillance programs. the gaca surveillance program is derived from several policies that relate to the planning and execution of surveillance activities and the resolution of identified safety concerns and non-compliances. these policies are described in the associated surveillance work processes. a. there are four phases involved in the gaca surveillance program. these phases are as follows: • phase one - developing the surveillance plan by determining the types of surveillance activities necessary and the frequency of those surveillance activities • phase two - executing the surveillance plan by conducting the surveillance activities • phase three - analyzing surveillance data in order to: 1) categorize the severity of safety deficiencies observed in order to establish appropriate timeframes for corrective actions; and 2) identify trends in order adjust the surveillance plan if necessary • phase four – resolution of identified safety deficiencies and non-compliances b. phase one: developing a surveillance plan. an annual surveillance plan shall be developed for each functional area of gaca safety and air transport (s&at). the annual surveillance plan shall be derived from the gaca surveillance planning policy. the gaca surveillance planning policy is established by the assistant vice president, s&at, with input from his staff. the surveillance planning policy is reviewed periodically for effectiveness and compliance with international norms. 1) the gaca surveillance planning policy is stated below: a) the broad aim of the gaca surveillance program is to ensure that all significant aspects of a certificate holder’s procedures and practices are evaluated at least once in every 12-month period. b) surveillance of holders of new certificates / privileges shall be undertaken within 6 months of the date of the original certificate / privilege issuance in order to re-evaluate the certificate holder’s procedures and practices. c) surveillance tasks and frequencies shall be established with consideration of available resources and the safety benefit derived from the surveillance activities. the broad objective shall be to maximize the safety benefit of our available surveillance resources. d) surveillance frequencies shall be increased if risk indicators show that higher frequencies are warranted. e) surveillance frequencies may be decreased with gaca management approval if surveillance results indicate a high degree of voluntary compliance and a well-established risk management system within the certificate holder. in no cases may surveillance frequencies exceed 24 months however. f) scheduled surveillance activities shall be supplemented with periodic random surveillance. g) sampling may be used when inspecting large amounts of similar data (e.g. pilot training records, maintenance task cards, etc.) however statistically reliable methods shall be used when selecting sample sizes. 2) the surveillance planning policy requires that the surveillance plan be developed with consideration of specific risk indicators associated with the certificate holder. risk indicators to consider include the following: • aspects of the certificate holder’s surroundings that may lead to or trigger a systemic failure with the potential of creating an unsafe condition. examples include: o age of fleet o varied fleet mix/configuration o change in aircraft complexity o outsourcing (maintenance, training, ground handling) o seasonal operations o relocation/closing of facilities o lease arrangements • compliance and performance history of the certificate holder over time, including: o enforcement actions o accidents/incidents/occurrences o third party audits (e.g. iosa, iasa) o self-disclosures o complaints • organizational and environmental factors the certificate holder cannot directly control, but can manage effectively to improve system stability and safety. examples include: o changes in key management personnel o difficult financial conditions o turnover in personnel o rapid growth/downsizing in workforce o merger or takeover o labor-management relations • organizational and environmental factors that the certificate holder can directly control. examples include: o new or major changes to programs, infrastructure or procedures o reorganization 3) the annual surveillance plan is to be based on available resources and should be designed to achieve the maximum safety benefit possible. 4) the annual surveillance plan is to be developed for each certificate holder. the surveillance plan must be presented in a format that includes the following items as a minimum: • name of certificate holder (or other kind of authorizing document, if applicable) • type of certificate(s) held (or other kind of authorizing document, if applicable) • number and type of all planned surveillance tasks c. phase two: executing the surveillance plan. 1) in conducting surveillance and documenting the outcomes, gaca is able to assess and demonstrate an organization’s level of conformance to regulatory requirements. adherence to the guidance herein is imperative to ensure inspection and/or audit policies and procedures are uniformly applied. all surveillance activities shall be executed in accordance with the gaca surveillance execution policy which is stated below: • all gaca surveillance shall be conducted in accordance with the processes and procedures described in this handbook • all identified non-compliances shall be recorded, in writing, using the relevant gaca forms • notwithstanding 2) below, at the discretion of the inspector, identified non-compliances that are not intentional, error based and which pose only very low risk to aviation safety may be resolved by way oral counseling • all surveillance records shall be retained in the certificate holder’s file at the gaca office 2) to maintain overall effectiveness of safety oversight or audit activity, the gaca approach to each organization must be one of transparency, with a high degree of professionalism, using experience, skills and communication as essential ingredients. the aviation community must view the gaca surveillance program as one that is fair and equitable in its application. d. phase three: analyzing surveillance data. 1) background. a) analyzing surveillance data gathered from surveillance reports is an essential element of the gaca surveillance program. by analyzing identified safety concerns and non-compliances, gaca is able to ensure that both short term and long term safety risks are identified and categorized and that the gaca approach to resolution will be appropriate to the seriousness of the situation. b) the analysis of surveillance reports and other safety intelligence allows the gaca to identify patterns, weaknesses, deficiencies in the aviation system. the analysis can also help identify causes and possible remedies. c) in view of the increasing complexity of modern operating techniques, aircraft and equipment, there is a continuing need to review the scope of inspections and related surveillance techniques and procedures in order to better evaluate specific areas of interest and ensure effective use of "}, {"num": "eBOOK", "title": "Unmanned Aircraft Systems", "cat": "ebook", "sub": "aircraft", "file": "UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS.pdf", "html": "library/unmanned-aircraft-systems.html", "pages":

chapter provides information and instructions on the requirements for applications related to the initial issuance, renewal, replacement and de-registration of certificate of registration for unmanned aircraft system (cr-uas). this addresses the application requirements prescribed in gacar part 48. a. these instructions are applicable to uas operators and/or owners of uas, wishing to register their uas through the gaca uas registration portal, or already holding a saudi arabian cr-uas. these instructions also apply to model aircraft. b. these instructions are applicable to unmanned aircraft with maximum take-off mass less than 150 kg, and intended to be operated under the open and specific categories of uas operation, as defined in gacar part 107. note 1 – model aircraft are considered unmanned aircraft. registration of model aircraft intended to be operated in the open category is also possible by aviation clubs certificated under gacar part 149. note 2 – there is no distinction between registration of unmanned aircraft intended for recreational and commercial use. in both cases, the uas must be registered in accordance with gacar part 48. 18.1.1.2 forms. unmanned aircraft registration should be done electronically through https://uas.gaca.gov.sa/uas. all applicable forms and the associated e-services are available through gaca’s uas registration portal. 18.1.1.3 initial issuance. this section summarizes essential information to be obtained from applicants for certificates of registration for unmanned aircraft system (cr-uas). the gaca staff of the uas department must inform applicants that, should gaca reject to issue a requested cr-uas, the applicant may be eligible to reapply for cr-uas after having corrected wrong information. a. applicants who intend to bring or import uas from another country into the ksa, must be informed by the uas department staff that security clearance from the gaca aviation security sector must be obtained first. custom clearance from zakat, tax and customs authority (zatca) may only be provided after security clearance and registration of the unmanned aircraft. the uas department staff will approach zatca after registration to try to obtain the custom clearance. b. the applicant should first be asked to provide the maximum take-off mass of the unmanned aircraft, and to indicate which types of uas operations are intended to be conducted (open and/or specific). based on this information, the application will be classified as one of the following: 1) unmanned aircraft less than 15 kg, only intended for operations in the open category. 2) unmanned aircraft between 15 and 25 kg, only for operations in the open category. 3) unmanned aircraft less than 150 kg, intended for operations in the specific category. 4) unmanned aircraft, for which operations under a gacar part 107 waiver is envisaged. 5) unmanned aircraft, which cannot be operated within the scope of gacar part 107. c. table 1 summarizes the essential information related to the application for initial issuance of a cr-uas, which may only be issued through gaca uas registration portal for applications classified under b. above as 1, 2 or 3. the other types of applications (classified as 4 or 5) typically require the applicant to register under gacar part 47 and then apply for an airworthiness certificate. registrations under gacar part 47 are conducted by the gaca airworthiness department. table 1 essential information for initial issuance of cr-uas essential information open category specific category applicant name yes yes applicant authorized representative yes yes applicant national address yes yes mailing address yes yes applicant email address yes yes manufacturer no yes model name no yes serial number, if available no yes note 3 – gaca may ask the applicant to provide more than the essential information (e.g. for the open category, gaca may ask the applicant for the manufacturer, model name and serial number of the unmanned aircraft if this information is available). after initial issuance of the cr-uas, the registered unmanned aircraft must display a unique identifier. this is either the gaca registration certificate number or the uas serial number (in accordance with gacar 48.21). note 4 – the uas department must, together with issuance of the cr-uas, inform the applicant that all uas intended for operations in the specific category must, after obtaining a valid operational authorization (oa) or uas operator certificate (uoc), also display a label or qr-code reflecting eligibility to conduct such uas operations. this label or qr-code, which is issued by the gaca uas department together with the oa or uoc, must be removed when the oa or uoc expires. note 5 – unmanned aircraft intended for operations in the specific category, must only be registered by companies registered in the ksa, unless otherwise authorized by the president of the gaca. 18.1.1.4 renewal. uas operators and/or owners of uas may apply for renewal of the cr-uas, prior to the expiry date. such request may be made no earlier than six months prior to expiry date. 18.1.1.5 replacement. in the event of a lost or destroyed cr-uas, the owner of the unmanned aircraft (or authorized representative) should be instructed to download a new version from the uas registration portal. 18.1.1.6 de-registration. the owner of the uas (or the authorized representative) may ask for de-registration of the cr-uas, for example for a lost or damaged unmanned aircraft that cannot be repaired or for another reason. the reason must be acceptable to the inspector and must be provided prior to de-registration. 18.1.1.7 change of ownership. the owner of the uas (or the authorized representative) may ask to transfer the cr-uas to another owner. the new owner of the uas (or the authorized representative) must apply for a new cr-uas as per the instructions described above through the gaca uas registration portal. 18.1.1.8 change of intended uas operation(s). in case the owner of the uas (or the authorized representative) has approval for operations in the open category only and wishes to extend this to intended operations in the specific category, he/she must apply for an amended cr-uas, through the gaca uas registration portal, as per paragraph 18.1.1.3 above. the existing registration number may be reused. in this case, the uas department staff must also inform the uas operator about the applicable marking requirements for the specific category. section 1. general information. 18.2.1.1 remote pilot certification (rpc). the gaca processes and procedures for remote pilot certification are supported by flight instructors for the operation of unmanned aircraft and by designated remote pilot examiners (drpes). the flight instructors provide practical training for specific category operations. drpes provide examination services to remote pilots, within the limitations set forth in the drpe’s certificate of designation. 18.2.1.2 prerequisites. this task requires knowledge of gacar part 107, gaca policies and knowledge of the functional responsibilities of the uas inspector responsible for drpe oversight. 18.2.1.3 coordination. this task may require coordination between the instructor, drpe, the uas department and the personnel licensing department of the gaca. 18.2.1.4 different types of certificates. there are two types of remote pilot certificates: • rpc open category for open category operations (rpc-o) • rpc specific category for specific category operations (rpc-s) additionally, there are endorsements for specific category operations. remote pilots for open category operations are not required to conduct a practical skills exam and therefore there is no requirement to use instructors and/or drpes for these operations. 18.2.1.5 forms. there are three forms, associated with the different steps in the process: • remote pilot application • remote pilot examination • remote pilot certificate 18.2.1.6 competency-based framework. different types of competencies may need to be achieved. the instructors and drpes should adhere to the competency-based framework associated with the type of operation for which the practical skills of the remote pilots are being assessed. the competency-based framework for specific category operations is described in advisory circular 107-02. this ac includes competencies and observable behaviors that must be achieved for remote pilot certification. section 2. application phase 18.2.2.1 objective. the task objective is to determine an applicant’s eligibility for a remote pilot certificate under gacar part 107. completion of this task results in the issuance
