Regulations play a crucial role in ensuring safety and efficiency in civil aviation. This involves the timely development, review, and enforcement of regulations to keep pace with industry amendments. Different types of regulations, from restrictive to permissive, impact how oversight is conducted. Compliance with Annexes to the Chicago Convention is essential for regulatory conformity, regardless of the complexity of civil aviation operations.

  1. CHAPTER 6 CNS Regulations and Other Oversight Documentation

  2. Development and Review of Regulations Regulations provide regulated entities with requirements to be complied with in order to assure safety and efficiency of civil aviation. To inspectors, regulations provide the framework under which the safety oversight system works. This therefore underscores the importance of complete, relevant and up to date regulations. For this reason, CNS inspectors need to ensure that regulations are as current as possible at all times

  3. Development and Review of Regulations States should develop and implement a process to ensure the timely development and amendment of the specific operating regulations, necessary in order to keep pace with amendments to Annexes to the Convention. Additionally, sufficient guidance material provides guidance to technical personnel and allows management to ensure that safety oversight functions and activities are carried out in an effective and standardized manner.

  4. Development and Review of Regulations The CAA s specific operating regulations should conform with the Annexes to the Chicago Convention; The adoption of requirements shall be as contained in the Annexes regardless of the size and complexity of their civil aviation activity; Only non applicable provisions should be avoided;

  5. Enforceability of Regulations Types of Regulations; (i) Restrictive Regulations- Categorically state that something must be done or adhered to . These regulations can and must be enforced. Restrictive regulations must contain the following types of language: Shall and must , because they are mandatory. No person may or A person may not , because they are prohibitory. (ii) Permissive Regulations- Regulations that do not state what must be done or adhered to. The inspector can encourage use of these regulations to service providers, but cannot enforce them. When used alone, may is not enforceable because it is permissive, used to state authority or permission.

  6. Enforceability of Regulations Types of Regulations; (iii) Conditionally prohibitive language, such as no person may, except or unless is enforceable only in instances that are not covered by the exceptions. (iv) Conditionally mandatory language, such as each person shall, except: or unless is enforceable only in instances that are not covered by the exceptions.

  7. Enforceability of Regulations Types of Regulations; (v) Regulatory language that simply confers authority or responsibility, such as the holder of a certificate is used to determine assignment of responsibility. (vi) Definitive or explanatory language, such as this part prescribes or each of the following requires , is used to determine regulatory applicability.

  8. Technical Guidance Material Technical guidance material is meant to enable CNS Inspectors perform their safety oversight function in accordance with established requirements and in standardized manner. This includes the provision of technical guidance to the ANSP on implementation of applicable regulations and instructions. States need to develop and publish their own technical guidance material to assist in the implementing national regulations, procedures and practices. CNS inspectors have a duty to ensure that all guidance is provided and that applicable TGMs are reviewed at regular intervals.

  9. Technical Guidance Material Developed and availed to inspectors to enable them to perform their safety oversight functions effectively and in a standardized manner; Developed immediately after the review and promulgation of regulations; Necessary to subject the draft to stakeholders input before approval.

  10. Technical Guidance Material The following documents form part of TGMs. ANS Inspectors handbook Advisory circulars Orders Technical standards Applicable forms and checklists

  11. Importance of reviewing Audit Documents a) minimize risks associated with use of outdated material; b) increase operational excellence; c) ensure that inspectors have the information to do their respective assignments well; d) ensure inspectors are using accurate instructions and procedures; e) boost the Authority s preparedness for USOAP audits by ICAO; and f) comply with international requirements and best practices.

  12. Review of ANS Regulations and TGMs It is the responsibility of a State to develop and implement a process amendment of the regulations; to ensure specific the operating timely need to revise or amend Regulations may be occasioned additionally by any of the following;

  13. Review of ANS Regulations a) Upon receipt and assessment of amendments to relevant ICAO Annexes and PANS Upon amendment to Civil Aviation Act/Code Upon receipt of request/information from stakeholders regarding the application and/or implementation of the regulation; Whenever there is a significant change in the size and complexity of the aviation system; Whenever there is change in technology; When the regulations are no longer relevant, applicable or effective; As may be desired by the Authority to enhance efficiency of the safety oversight b) c) d) e) f) g)

  14. Review of TGMs The TGMs may be amended or revised when need arises owing to the following reasons: a) Upon amendment to Civil Aviation Regulations that require amendment of TGMs; b) Whenever there is an operational or environmental requirement; c) Concern raised by the industry in interpretation and/or accuracy of TGMs; d) Whenever there is a change in technological such as introduction of new equipment e) When it is no longer relevant, applicable or effective.
