CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1. Ramp inspection

Ramp Inspections are planned inspections carried out at ramp to verify thecompliance of laid down standards and regulations during operation ofcommercial air operators. This inspection is carried out by a team ofinspectors from Operations and Airworthiness covering respective area as perstandard checklist.

Under Article 16 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, States areentitled to search aircraft from other States on landing and departure and toinspect the certificates and other documents prescribed by the Convention andits Annexes, provided there is no unreasonable delay to the operation. Therequirements for Inspection of foreign aircraft are covered in CASR Part 129.

Further, paragraph 4.2.2.2 of ICAO Annex 6 (Operation of Aircraft, Part I -International Commercial Air Transport - Aeroplanes) also requires that Statesshall establish a programme with procedures for the surveillance ofoperations in their territory by a foreign operator and for taking appropriateaction when necessary to preserve safety.

This Staff Instruction has been prepared for use and guidance of DGCAinspectors for the performance ramp inspection on the aircraft operated bydomestic and foreign operators.

2. Purpose

The purpose of the ramp inspections is to inspect the aircraft at ramp toascertain the organisational approach and associated procedures employed bythe operator to resolve factors contributing to overall safety standards. Theinspection is mainly concerned with the aircraft documents and manuals,the apparent conditions of aircraft and the presence and condition ofmandatory cabin safety equipment and airworthiness standards. Theapplicable requirements for these inspections are:

i. The Aircraft Rules and Regulations for aircraft used bydomestic operators

ii. The ICAO international standards for aircraft used by foreign operator

iii. Manufacturers' standards when checking the technical condition of theaircraft; and

iv. Published national standards (e.g.Aeronautical InformationPublications, CASR that are declared applicable to all operators flying inthe Indonesia Airspace).

The Annual Ramp Inspection Program of domestic and foreign carriers shouldbe laid down on the DGCA database. However, unplanned ramp inspectionsmay also be carried out by the DGCA.

Ramp inspection shall be carried out by a team comprising of trainedinspectors (Operations and Airworthiness) using applicable checklists asprovided by Staff Instruction SI Form 01.

CHAPTER III

RAMP INSPECTION PROCEDURES

SI 8900-6.2

AUGUST 2017

1. Ramp Inspection And Related Processes - Overview

Inspection

Finding(s)

J.Categorization

J-Follow-up

a. The inspection process consists of different elements like the preparationof the inspection, the determination of which items need to be inspectedand which standards to use (For foreign and domestic operators). Generalguidance on the ICAO references and DGCA regulation references areplaced at Appendix 3 and Appendix 4 respectively.

b. If during the Ramp Inspection a deviation from the applicable Standards isestablished, it is considered a finding. Guidance of ramp inspection findingscan be found in Appendix 2 (ICAO Finding Guidance).

c. There are three different categories of findings, depending on the impact thefinding has on the safety of the aircraft and/or its occupants. Chapter 4 ofthis Staff Instructions provides guidance on the categorization of findings.

d. Based on the outcome of the inspection and subsequent categorization,follow-up actions as detailed in Chapter 5 shall be taken.

2. General Instructions - Ramp Inspection

a. The main elements of the ramp inspection, the visual inspection of theaircraft exterior, the inspection on the flight deck and the inspection of thepassenger cabin and/or cargo compartments can be divided among theinspector(s).

b. Before the commencement of the inspection, the Inspector(s) shallidentify themselves with credentials to the pilot-in-command or, in hisabsence, to a member of the flight crew or to the most senior representativeof the operator prior to commencing the onboard part of their rampinspection. When it is not possible to inform any representative of theoperator or when there is no such representative present in or near theaircraft, the general principle will be not to perform a ramp inspection. Inspecial circumstances, if it is decided to perform a ramp inspection, it shallbe limited to a visual check of the aircraft exterior only.

SI 8900-6.2

AUGUST 2017

c. The inspection shall be as comprehensive as possible within the time andresources available. In case of availability of only limited amount of time,the number of inspection items shall be reduced. The checklist to be usedfor carrying out the ramp inspection is given at the Staff Instruction SIForm-01.

d. The general principle shall be that the ramp inspection shall not cause anunreasonable delay in the departure of the inspected aircraft. Possiblecauses for delay may be, but are not limited to, doubts regarding thecorrectness of the flight preparation, the airworthiness of the aircraft or anymatters directly related to the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.

e. Inspectors must show tact and diplomacy when performing a RampInspection. Any unnecessary contact with passengers should be avoided;however, this may be justified so as to be able to inspect certain elementsin the cabin, such as:

i. proper stowage of cabin baggage under the seat,

ii. overweight in overhead luggage bins,

iii. baggage in front of emergency exit,

iv. infants/children over the minimum age should have their own seat,

v. sufficient number of seats,

vi. observing the boarding process during normal operations, duringrefueling in progress

f. Departure delay of an aircraft should be avoided. However, when aninspector discovers an issue which may have a major effect on flight safetyor requires further investigation to be clarified, a delay may be justified.

g. A certain amount of inconvenience to flight and cabin crews, handlingagents and other personnel involved in ground handling activities mayarise, but inspectors must do everything possible to reduce hindrance tothe minimum, for example:

i. they should try to be as precise and complete as possible whenasking for aeroplane documents from flight crew. This should result ina minimum of discussion time allowing the flight crew to deal with theirprimary task of flight preparation;

ii. they should ask the senior cabin crew member to dedicate one crewmember to assist them with the inspection tasks;

iii. they should debrief the commander of the aircraft after the inspectiontask is completed;

iv. they should inform cargo loading staff of possible hindrance due toinspection task in cargo compartment;

v. when carrying out inspections on the flight deck, the flight crew shouldbe allowed to give priority to staff directly involved in the flightpreparation (e.g. fuel master, load-planning agent, handling agent pax.info, etc.).

h. Whenever possible, it is advised to contact the operator's representative atthe airport so that he/she can be present during the Ramp Inspection.Experience shows that the operator's representative may be helpful inproviding support especially in facilitating communication with the crew oroperator home base.

SI 8900-6.2

AUGUST 2017

3. Selection Criteria

Generally Ramp Inspection activities is planned establishing a schedule for theperformance of Ramp inspections in the Annual Surveillance Plan. Thisschedule is the responsibility of the DGCA (DAAO Office and Regional Office) orInspectors who have been assigned for inspections.

The schedule may consist of:

1. Long term planning

Operators performing scheduled operations could be selected on a long-term basis for inspections, since their schedule is known to the DGCA.

2. Short term planning

Short term planning should be used for planning ramp inspection of nonscheduled / chartered operators. Short term planning may be done forscheduled operators depending upon safety issue.

4. Data Collection

Using the information sources, DGCA IMSIS data base would enable theinspector to:• Verify the rectification of previously found non-compliances• Select the items to be inspected if the time available does not permit a full

inspection

5. Ramp Inspection Items

The Ramp Inspection checklist contains a total of 55 items. Of these checklistitems, 25 relate to operational requirements (A-items) to be checked on theflight deck, 15 items address safety and cabin items (B-items), 12 items areconcerning the aircraft condition (C-items) and 3 items (D-items) are related tothe inspection of cargo and the cargo compartment. In case of any findings notrelated to the other items of the checklist, they may be administered by the Eitem (General) of the checklist. Appendix 2 details the list of these items alongwith sample of findings as per its impact on safety.

The inspection findings and subsequent categorization have to be reported onthe Ramp Inspection Report after completion of the inspection, even if thereare no findings raised.

Depending on the items to be inspected, a Ramp Inspection may be performedon landing or on departure of the aircraft.

6. Standards

The purpose of a Ramp inspection is to check the compliance withinternational standard in case of foreign operators and national standardsused for ramp inspection of Aircraft of Indonesian operators.

The Ramp inspection on the foreign operator is carried out to check thecompliance with international standards (i.e. Chicago convention, its Annexes)which are the minimum standards to be complied with by any aircraftengaged in international navigation. In addition, when inspecting thetechnical condition of an aircraft, it should be checked against the aircraftcertification specifications and manufacturer's standards. ICAO Reference forchecking the international operator is detailed in Appendix 3.

SI 8900-6.2

AUGUST 2017

Similarly, ramp inspection on the domestic operator is carried out to check thecompliance with DGCA standards (i.e. Aircraft Rules, regulations and ICAOAnnexes for items which are not separately covered in DGCA regulations.). Inaddition, when inspecting the technical condition of an aircraft, it should bechecked against the aircraft certification specifications and manufacturer'sstandards. DGCA Reference along with relevant ICAO Reference for checkingthe national operator is detailed in Appendix 4.

The applicable standard required to be reported on the ramp inspection formwhen ever a finding is raised.

1. General

CHAPTER IV

RAMP INSPECTION FINDINGS

SI 8900-6.2

AUGUST 2017

A Ramp inspection aims at assessing the compliance with the applicablestandards of an aircraft used in operations. A non-compliance found during aninspection is called a finding. When a deviation from a standard has beendetermined, the inspector should be certain that the finding is applicable tothe specifics of the inbound and/or outbound flight, such findings arecategorised according to the magnitude of the deviation of the requirementsand to the influence on safety of the non-compliance.

When inspectors are raising issues on the ramp that may lead to theidentification of findings, they should, as much as possible, document andkeep records of the non-compliances detected. This could be done, forinstance, by taking photographs of the deficiency itself, as well asphotographs/images of the manufacturer references used to assess thetechnical defects, pictures or copy of the aircraft log book entries performed.These elements could be very useful in the follow-up phases of the rampinspection either to explain in details and illustrate the finding detected, or tobe able to exchange appropriate documented evidence when findings arechallenged

Note 1: In exceptional cases, a single fault may give rise to more than onefinding under different inspection items, for example: a tyre worn beyond limitswhilst the PIC refuses to enter the defect in the Technical Log (or equivalent)would give rise to findings under C04 and A23.

Note 2: On manufacturer standards, a finding to these standards shouldalways be demonstrated in relation with aircraft technical documentation (AMM,SRM, CDL, WDM, AFM, etc.) and MEL references. If significant defects aresuspected, the operator should be asked to demonstrate compliance with thestandards. Deviations from these standards can only be acceptable if the Stateof oversight / DGCA in case of Domestic operator, has issued a formalwaiver/exemption/concession detailing conditions and/or limitations to allowthe aircraft to continue to operate for a specific period of time before final repair,unless the aircraft willperform a ferryflight and the validity of the C of A is notaffected. In case the deviation leads to a temporary invalidation of the Certificateof Airworthiness, the operator will be required to obtain a permit to fly from theState of Registry, and the relevant permission from the affected States(departure, arrival and every overflown State).

2. Detection/reporting/assessment of significant technical defects

A technical defect is considered to be any material fault pertaining to theaircraft, its systems or components. Minor defects are typically withoutinfluence on safety. Although minor defect are not considered to be findings,they should be brought to the attention of the operator using general remarks.Those defects which are potentially out of limits are considered to besignificant defects. Further assessment is required to determine if thesignificant defect is within or outside the applicable limits. Such defects shouldbe known to the operator since they should have been detected during regularmaintenance, aircraft acceptance procedure or pre-flight inspections.

8

SI 8900-6.2

AUGUST 2017

Care should be taken when dealing with technical defects which did notnecessarily had to be detected by the operator since the approved maintenanceprogramme does not require the operator to detect such issues during turnaround inspections; examples are missing fasteners, bonding wires and thecabin emergency lighting which are normally not part of the pre-flightinspection. Therefore, no finding should be raised under A23/A24 that suchdefect was not detected/reported/assessed.

However, inspectors should not ignore cases where those defects led to an outof limits situation; apparently the Approved Maintenance Program failed toensure that the aircraft is in an dispatchable condition and therefore such

non-compliance should be raised as a cat. 3 finding.

Since significant defects might have appeared during the inbound flight, theinspector must give the operator the opportunity to identify and assess asignificant defect during the preflight inspection before he/she raises a finding.However, this does not mean that the inspector should wait with his/her

inspection of the aircraft condition until the operator performed/completed thepreflight inspection.

A "defect within limits but not recorded" should not be raised as a technical

finding. If the significant defect appeared to be within limits, the safety focuseschanges from the defect itself to the concern that the defect was not

detected/assessed by the operator.

The following procedure should be used in particular when inspecting theAircraft Condition. In addition, the same procedure may also be applied wheninspecting items A, B or D:

a. If time allows, the inspector should inspect the aircraft condition after theoperator has completed the preflight inspection.

b. The inspector may perform the aircraft condition inspection (C-Items) inadvance of the operator's inspection in order to make best use of the timeavailable for the whole inspection. In that case the inspector should waitwith reporting the defects identified until the operator has completed thepre-flight inspection.

c. The inspector should subsequently check if the operator detected thesignificant defects found by the inspector. Examples of significant defectsare, but not limited to, multiple screws missing in the corner area or in theleading edge of panels, running/dropping leaks, dents in pressurized areasof the fuselage. A single screw missing in the middle of a fairing, traces ofold leaks and non-structural damages to e.g. fairings can, in many cases,considered to be "minor defects". Such defects should be brought to theattention of the operator as general remarks (cat. G).

d. If the operator detected the significant defect, but did not properly reportand/or assess it, the operator should assess the defect. If the defect appearsto be within limits, a finding should be raised under A23 (Defect notificationand rectification) mentioning "Known defect not reported/assessed". The

inspector should however, when collecting the evidence for this finding, takeinto account the reporting system used by the operator. For instance, if theoperator uses a Technical Logbook and/or a damage chart, a finding could

be raised if the defect was not entered. Additionally, a category "G" (general)remark should be created for the defect. If the defect is outside limits, acategory 3 finding should be raised under the respective inspection item. Inorder not to penalize the operator twice, no supplementary finding, relatedto this defect, should be raised in that case under A23.

e. If the operator did not detect the significant defect, the inspector shouldinform the crew on the non-identified defects. Subsequently, the operatorshould assess the defect in order to determine if the defect is within oroutside dispatch limits. If the defect is within limits, a category 2 findingmentioning "Pre-flight inspection performed but without noticing significantdefects" should be raised under A24 (pre-flight inspection) addressing thedeficiency that the defect was not detected. Additionally, a category "G"(general) remark should be created for the defect. If the defect is outsidelimits, a category 3 finding should be raised under the respective inspectionitem. In order not to report the finding twice, no supplementary finding,related to this defect, should be raised in that case under A24.

f. Multiple (Cat 2) findings on the same system (e.g. hydraulic leakage, fuelleakage, dents) and "root cause" (not identified, not reported or notassessed) raised under A23 or A24 should be grouped e.g. dents on the LHwing and the #2 engine intake which were not identified should be grouped,as well as hydraulic leakages which were identified but not assessed. On theother hand, a fuel leakage on the left wing which was not identified and afuel leak on Engine #2 which was reported but not assessed should benoted as two findings.

g. An unnecessary delay of the aircraft should be avoided. However, if theaircraft suffers a delay caused by the assessment of not properlyassessed/not identified findings, such a delay is justified because thepossible causes for delay could be doubts regarding the airworthiness of theaircraft.

a. Even when operators are carrying out their pre-flight inspection (aircraftacceptance) procedures only briefly before the departure of the aircraft, theinspector should wait until these procedures have been completed beforereporting to the operator the identified defects.

3. Deficiencies under the control of the operator

Non-compliances which are under control of the operator (in accordance withthe applicable requirements) are not to be raised as findings. If e.g. an aircraftdiverted because of technical defects and the aircraft is inspected upon arrival,such defects should not be raised during a ramp inspection following thediversion as long as the defect is properly reported (e.g. through the TechnicalLog) and subsequently assessed.

4. Findings - Categorization

If during the inspection it is established that a certain situation is not incompliance with the relevant standards, this is then considered a finding. Foreach inspection item, 3 (three) categories of possible deviations from thestandards have been defined. The findings are categorized as below accordingto the seriousness and perceived influence on flight safety.

Minor : Category 1 finding is considered to have a minor influenceon safety.

AUGUST 2017

Significant : Category 2 finding may have a significant influence onsafety

Major : Category 3 finding may have a major influence on safety.

Note:

Any other safety relevant issues identified during a Ramp inspection, althoughnot constituting a finding, can be reported as a General Remark under eachinspection item, for example: an electrical torch missing or unserviceable duringa flight conducted entirely in daylight

Findings on arrival flights being identical to the findings raised for departure flightsshould lead to the same categorization, although the corrective action might not bepossible when the flight has been completed. For example, an incorrect mass andbalance sheet (outside operational limits) found on arrival should be categorized as acat. 3. Obviously this cannot be corrected; however the appropriate class 3 actioncould be to confirm that the mass and balance calculations are within operationallimits for the outbound flight.

CHAPTER V

FOLLOW UP ACTIONS

1. Ramp Inspection - Follow-up Actions

Follow up actions will be taken after the Ramp inspection. The follow-upactions may be distinguished in two stages. The first stage is the follow-upaction directly resulting from the findings, the second stage is the monitoringand follow-up of any correspondence, sent out to the operator and the Stateresponsible for oversight in case of foreign operator, which should result inclosure of the findings.

The checklist used for the inspection shall be completed and a copy handedover to the pilot-in-command, or in his absence, to a member of the flight crewor to the representative of the operator present in or near the aircraft uponcompletion of the inspection. A signed acknowledgment of receipt of the proofof inspection shall be requested from the recipient and be retained by theinspector. Refusal by the recipient to sign shall be recorded in the remarkcolumn of the checklist.

In case of disagreements concerning inspection findings, the deficiencies shallbe communicated to the foreign operator's regulatory authority. Serious safetydeficiencies would require DGCA to initiate a dialogue with the regulatoryauthority of the State of the Operator including the operator. Failure to takepositive action to rectify the deficiencies may result in cancellation/ revocationof foreign operator's authorization.

In case of foreign operator, Inspection team will provide a copy of theinspection report to DAAO Ramp Inspections Team for taking follow up actionwith the regulatory authority of the airline concerned. Ramp Inspection forForeign Operator findings should be communicated by DAAO to the regulatoryauthority of the foreign operator.

Where action is expected to be taken by the airline, the regulatory authoritywill be requested to intimate the action taken to DGCA.

2. Actions Resulting From An Inspection

Based on the results of the inspection and on how the findings have beencategorized, following common follow-up actions may be used in order of theseriousness of the findings.

1. Aircraft grounded by inspecting DGCA inspector

2. Corrective actions before flight

3. Restrictions on the aircraft operation

4. Information to the operator and authority

5. Information to the Captain

6. No remarks

3. Class 1 Action: Information To The Captain

Minor - Category 1 finding is considered to have a minor influence on safety.Such findings along with Ramp Inspection Checklist shall be provided to theaircraft commander (or, in his/her absence, to another member of the flightcrew or the representative of the operator). When completing the RampInspection Checklist, the following should be taken into account:

12

si syuu-o.^

AUGUST 2017

When handing over the Ramp Inspection Checklist to the PIC/operatorrepresentative, the inspector should ask him/her to sign the Ramp InspectionChecklist whilst explaining that the signature does not mean that he/sheagrees with the findings. The signature only confirms that the Ramp InspectionChecklist has been received by the PIC/operator representative.

4. Class 2 Action: Information To The Authority And The Operator

Significant and major findings - (Category 2 and 3 findings) are considered tohave a significant and major influence on safety. Therefore, when such findingshave been raised, written communications must be made to the operator andthe state of operator and/or state of registry in case of foreign operator, in thefollowing manner:

• The operator:The communication should request that corrective actions are taken (oralternatively the provision of a corrective action plan) and evidencesupporting the corrective actions taken; in case of no focal point is knownfor the inspected operator, its Quality department might be the mostsuitable point of contact. The operator is requested to reply to the writtencommunication with an action plan which addresses the deficiencies.

• The state of operator and/or state of registry:The communication shall contain, where appropriate, a request forconfirmation that they are satisfied with the corrective actions taken by theoperator. This might be appropriate, for example, but not limited to:

a) a high number of findings,

b) repetitive findings,

c) lack of appropriate response from the operator,

d) where there is evidence of consistently poor standards demonstratedby operators from that State,

e) Where action by the State of operator and/or state of registry may berequired given the seriousness of the findings.

The state of operator and/or state of registry should also be informed whencertain findings indicate possible shortcomings at state level (e.g. medicalcertificate does not indicate the medical class).

The primary source of information to enable an operator to take swift action toaddress safety deficiencies is the Ramp Inspection Checklist. In order toinform the action to be taken and to confirm to the operator the findingsmade, these communications should be made not later than 30 working daysafter the inspection. In the case where the operator has already replied, to thesatisfaction of the DGCA, based on the information contained in the RampInspection Checklist, the written communication to the operator might not berequired to be sent.

5. Class 3 Action: Restrictions On Operation Or Corrective Actions BeforeFlight

Major findings - (Category 3 findings) which are considered to have a potentialmajor effect on the safe operation of the aircraft, requires that action(s) need tobe taken before the departure of the aircraft. A corrective action is requiredfrom the operator before the flight is commenced, therefore it should be

13

si ayuu-o.^

AUGUST 2017

possible to verify the corrective actions taken (e.g. if the tire has been changed,if the recalculation of mass and balance has been done correctly, etc.);

The inspector(s) performing the ramp inspection have concluded that, as aresult of some deficiencies identified during the inspection, the aircraft maydepart only under certain restrictions. Some examples of these actions are:

a) restrictions on flight altitudes if oxygen system deficiencies have beenfound,

b) a non-revenue flight to the home base if allowed for by the MEL,

c) some seats that may not be used by passengers,

d) a cargo area that may not be used.

6. Aircraft Grounded By DGCA Inspection Team

If the category 3 (major) findings that have been established during the RampInspection concern damage of a nature such that the aircraft is no longerairworthy, this has to be communicated immediately to the operator / state ofoperator and/or state of registry of the aircraft in case of foreign operator.Although the first contact may be, as a matter of urgency, accomplished bytelephone, it is advisable to use written communication procedures.

An aircraft is grounded in a situation where the category 3 (three) majorfindings are not corrected by the operator before flight. Because the safety ofthe aircraft and its occupants is at stake, the aircraft has to be prevented fromresuming its flight and has to be 'grounded' until the safety hazard is removed.

7. Generation And Distribution Of Ramp Inspection Findings

The inspection report shall be generated after finalization of findings. Thereports along with the findings shall be uploaded on IMSIS database. TheRamp Inspection report along with findings shall be distributed as follows:

a) Operator

b) State of operator and/or state of registry for foreign operator for furtherfollow up actions.

The DGCA Regional Office should ensure the proper distribution of RampInspection Reports on Operators, with a copy to DGCA (DAAO Office).

8. Further Follow Up

Any follow-up communication from the operators and the authorities should beacknowledged and they should be informed about the closure of findings. Anyrequest for clarification should equally be responded by the DGCA (DAAOOffice or Regional Office). The feedback or clarifications from the DGCA (DAAOOffice or Regional Office) should be performed within 30 working days.

If communications are taking place with the operator only, the state of operatorand/or state of registry should, as much as possible, be copied with theassociated replies.

Findings should remain "open" as long as no satisfactory response of theoperator and/or the competent authorities in the state of operator and/or state

14

si »yuu-o.2

AUGUST 2017

of registry was received; alternatively, findings could be closed if a re-inspection confirms that the appropriate corrective action was taken.

9. Contacts With Foreign Operators

The DGCA (DAAO Office) should ensure that, in accordance with SI 129-01 forall category 2 and 3 finding(s) a written communication will be sent to theoperator to request evidence of corrective actions taken.

10. Contacts With Authorities

The DGCA (DAAO Office) should ensure that, in accordance with SI 129-01, awritten communication will be sent to the responsible state of operator and/orstate of registry, addressing the results of the inspections and, wereappropriate, request for a confirmation that they are satisfied with thecorrective actions performed by the operators under their supervision.

APPENDIX 3

ICAO ANNEX REFERENCES FOR RAMP INSPECTIONS GUIDANCE

(FOREIGN OPERATORS)

1. Purpose and Scope

The ramp inspectors should follow the established inspection instructions onthe categorization of findings when performing inspections on foreign aircraft.The finding should be categorized according to the list of Pre-Defined Findings(PDFs) listed in this Staff Instruction.

The overall objective of the Pre-Defined Findings (PDFs) is to ensure that rampinspections are performed in a standardized manner within ICAO Annexes, byproviding detailed inspection instructions and a common reporting taxonomy.

The list of PDFs is based on the following standard references:

— Convention on International Civil Aviation (ICAO) (also known as ChicagoConvention), 9th Edition, 2006.

— ICAO Annex 1 (Amendment 174, 10 July 2017)

— ICAO Annex 2 (Amendment 45, 10 September 2016)

— ICAO Annex 6, Part I (Amendment 41,17 April 2017)

— ICAO Annex 7 (Amandement 6 , Jl 1 November 2012)

— ICAO Annex 8 (Amendment 105B, 11 July 2016)

— ICAO Annex 10,(Amandement 90, 10 November 2016)

— ICAO Annex 15 (Amendment 39B, 11 July 2016)

— ICAO Annex 16, (Amendment 1IB, 14 July 2014)

— ICAO Annex 18, (Amendment 12, 12 November 2015)— ICAO Doc 4444, Procedures for Air Navigation Services, Fifteenth edition

2007,Corrigendum 4

— ICAO Doc 9284, Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of DangerousGoods by Air, 2013-2014 Edition, Addendum No. 3/Corrigendum No. 3

The list of Pre- Define Findings is not exhaustive since it cannot cover allpossible deviations that may occur — as a consequence, other findings may beraised by the inspector. It is intended to be used by the inspector to ensure acommon description and categorization of findings. The inspector should makeuse of this list in the majority of circumstances, and should always privilegethe use of a Pre- Define Findings when reporting findings in the IMSISdatabase. Where there is no appropriate Pre- Define Findings, based upontheir proficiency and the impact on aviation safety, inspectors should make asound judgement into which category the finding needs to be placed and insertan UDF (User Described Finding) in the IMSIS database. The inspector shouldmake sure to always report the associated 'Standard Reference' representingthe basis for the identification of the finding.

2. Basic Principles

If during the inspection it is established that a certain situation is not incompliance with the relevant standards, this is then considered a finding.

35

51 OVUU-D.^

AUGUST 2017

a) For each inspection item, 3 categories of possible deviations from thestandards have been defined. The findings are categorized according tothe potential influence on flight safety. This means that a category 1finding is considered to have a minor influence on safety. A category 2finding may have a significant influence and a category 3 finding mayhave a major influence on safety.

Note: Any other safety relevant issues identified during a ramp inspectionalthough not constituting a finding can be reported as a GeneralRemark (Cat G) under each inspection item, for example: missing lifevests for flights conducted entirely overland.

b) In the Pre-Define Findings (PDFs) list the description, categorization andreference to the applicable standard is provided. Although the list of Pre-Define Findings (PDFs) is as complete as possible, it cannot cover allpossible deviations that may occur.

c) The Pre-Define Findings (PDFs) list is intended to be used by the inspectorto guarantee a common description and categorization of findings. Theinspector should make use of this list in the majority of situations andshould always privilege the use of Pre-Define Findings (PDFs) whilereporting findings. In those cases where there is no appropriate Pre-DefineFindings (PDFs), the inspector should, based upon his proficiency and theimpact on aviation safety, make a sound judgement into which categorythe finding needs to be placed.

AUGUST 2017

Check general condition.Check the stowage of interior equipment, suitcases, navigation chart cases etc.

Note: inspectors should make sure that manuals, flight cases etc. were indeednot appropriately stored during the incoming flight. In some cases it can be proven(or at least reasonably assumed) that the manuals were not stored during flightsince e.g. there is no suitable storage area. However, in those cases where itcannot be excluded that the crew indeed stores the manuals during flight, nofinding should be raised. Such manuals and cases may have indeed been used bythe crew during taxi and the turn-around before the inspector entered the flightdeck.

If a flight crew compartment door is installed, check the door locking/unlockingmechanism.

On passenger carrying aero planes with MTOW > 45.500 kg (or with a passengerseating capacity more than 60 pax) check for installation and serviceability ofthe reinforced cockpit door.

Check the means to monitor the door area from either pilots seat. Some meanswill fully satisfy the requirements, such as CCTV systems. However, means suchas the spyhole do not enable the crew to monitor the door area from their seatand lead to a cat. 2 finding. The visual monitoring of the door area from thecockpit is of paramount importance, therefore alternative procedures such as anaudio signaling code in addition to a spyhole are also considered to be not incompliance as they do not provide for an actual visual monitoring; therefore, acat. 2 finding should be raised in such a situation as well. However, when thishas been compensated during critical phases of the flight, for instance by theuse of an additional crew member to monitor the area on behalf of the flightcrew, or by denying access to the flight deck during these phases, it stillconstitutes a finding, but with a lesser impact on safety (hence the cat. 1 shouldbe used). The presence in the cockpit of an additional crew member during allphases of the flight is considered to fully meet ICAO requirements.Check the condition of the flight deck windows (e.g. windshield cracks, possibledelamination)

Check that no equipment is installed such that it obviously does not meet thesystems design features and emergency landing provisions in Annex 8 PartIIIA/B, Chapter 4 (e.g. when equipment installed on the glare shield significantlyimpairs the pilots vision).

Check the presence and serviceability of the windshield wipers (if required forthe flight). Check if any electrical cables/wires are unintentionally exposed.Check the serviceability of the warning panel lights.

result in a cat. 3 finding. If equipment is found to be obstructed (e.g. by amanual) during flight preparation phase, this should not lead to a finding.AllFlights:

a) TAWS (E-GPWS)

Check if installed and serviceable. If unserviceable check if properly deferred(reported in the ATLB) and check if still within MEL dispatch limits. Verifythat the installed GPWS has a forward looking terrain avoidance function. Ifthe terrain database is found to be expired, verify against the MEL thedispatch condition. When an operational test can be performed by the pilot, itshould be requested.

Note: On certain aircraft such a test cannot be performed by the pilots but onlyby maintenance personnel: this does not constitute a finding.Note: some CIS-built aircraft are equipped with GPWSsystems like the SSOS orSPPZ (SPBZ) that do not fulfil the ICAO requirements regarding the E-GPWS.Only the 7-channel (SRPBZ) with forward looking terrain avoidance functionmeets the ICAO requirements.

In the case where an aircraft is found not to have TAWS (E-GPWS) installedthen the competent authority should consider imposing an immediateoperating ban on that aircraft. The aircraft should be allowed to depart onlyon a non-revenue flight.

b) ACAS II (TCAS)

Check if installed and serviceable. If unserviceable check if properly deferred(reported in the ATLB) and check if still within MEL dispatch limits.When an operational test can be performed by the pilot, it should berequested.

Note: On certain aircraft such a test cannot be performed by the pilots but onlyby maintenance personnel: this does not constitute a finding.

In the case where an aircraft is found not to be fitted with a compliantTCAS/ACAS II system then the competent authority should consider imposingan immediate operating ban on that aircraft. The aircraft should be allowed todepart only on a non-revenue flight.

For aircraft (MCTOM over 5.700 kg or MOPSC in excess of 19 passengers)with their first C of A issued on or after 1 January 2014, check if ACAS II,software version 7.1 is installed. This can be done by verifying the TCAS call-outs in the crew procedures in the Operation Manual; for version 7.1 theseprocedures should show the extra resolution advisory "Level off, level off. Asof 1 January 2017, all aeroplanes (MTOM over 5.700 kg or MCPC in excess of19 passengers) should be equipped with ACAS II Software version 7.1.

When an operational test can be performed by the pilot, it should berequested.

Note: On certain aircraft such a test cannot be performed by the pilots butonly by maintenance personnel: this does not constitute a finding.Flights in designated airspace:

a) RVSMCheck whether the equipment unserviceability (if any) renders the aircraftnon-RVSM capable (check with Doc 9614).Check the areas of applicability and the relevant volumes of airspace in ICAODoc 7030.

d) 8.33 kHz channel spacingCheck that radio equipment is 8.33 kHz channel spacing capable. This can bechecked by requesting to select an8.33 kHz channel, for example, 132.055 kHz on the radio control panel. Thepanel should normally show 6 digits- however some radio control panels may omit the leading "1" and displayonly 5 digits, e.g. 32.055.Area of applicability: The carriage of 8.33 kHz channel spacing capable radioequipment is mandatory for operations in the specified ICAO EUR region forflights above FL195.

e) EFBWhen an EFB is used, check that the operator has established mitigatingmeans such as a back-up provision for those functions which may have animpact on the safe operation of the aircraft. A non-exhaustive list of suchfunctions includes:

Operations Manual;Aircraft Flight Manual;

• Checklists;Radio Navigation Charts;

• Electronic map systems for graphical depiction of aircraft position(electronic aeronautical charts including en route, area, approach, departureand airport surface maps);C Aircraft performance calculation applications to provide:"

"(a) take-off, en route, approach and landing, missed approach, etc.calculations providing masses, distance,times and/or speed limitations,(b) power settings, and(c) mass and balance calculation.Pending the adoption and publication by ICAO of standards and guidance onEFB, any back-up provision such as hardcopies or an alternative EFB shouldbe considered as acceptable."

As aminimum there shall be available those parts pertaining to flight operations.

Note: in the OPS manual the following subjects, in particular, could be checked:- presence of instructions and data for mass and balance control;

the list of the navigational equipment to be carried including anyrequirements relating to operations where performance-basednavigation is prescribed;

- presence of data that enables the crew to carry out performancecalculations;

- fuel planning and in-flight fuel management policies and procedures;- flight and duty time requirements;- safety precautions during refuelling withpassengers on board;- instructions on the carriageof dangerous goods (with DG on board).

Check if the flight crew is able to understand the language in which the OPSManual and/or AFM are written.

Note: ICAO standards do not require the manuals to be written in Englishlanguage. Such a case does not constitute a finding unless it is obvious that thepilot(s) do not understand the language in which the manuals are written.Note: the impact on safety is different in case only one flight crew member is notable to understand the language of the OM, or if it is not understood by any of

Check if the MEL is not less restrictive than MMEL.

Note: If it is found that the MEL does not incorporate the latest revision of theMMEL, this should be reported as a General Remark (cat. G).

Note: Checking the revision status of the MEL might not be enough; in case thelast revision introduced less restrictive conditions, the MEL might not have to beupdated.

questions may be raised in the follow-up phase on the appropriate documentcontrol.

Note: It takes time before more strict requirements introduced by a new MMELwill be implemented. Inspectors should allow a timeframe of at least 4 months(sincepublication of the revised MMEL) for the revisionofa MEL.

Check if MEL content reflects actual equipment installed on the aircraft andtakes into account the special approvals in the operations specifications.Check if the MEL contains the (M) maintenance and/or (0) operationalprocedures. Check if the MEL is fully customised. For example, the MELshould not contain a reference to regulatory material ("ATA 23 Communicationsystems - Any in excess of those required by 14 CFR may be inoperativeprovided it is notpowered by Standby Bus and is not required for emergencyprocedures.') but should mention the actual required number, or the actionsto maintain an acceptable level of safety should equipment becomeunserviceable.

Note: Mainly for passenger cabin related items, the number may be missing,provided that the MEL reflects an alternate means of configuration control.Check if the deferred defects (if any) are in accordance with the MELinstructions.

Note: Annex 6 does require that the MEL is approved by the State of Operator.However, the Annex 6 does not require thatproofofsuch approval be containedin the MEL itself or has to be carried on board. It is up to each and everyContracting State to determine how they approve a manual and whetherevidence of such approval is required in the manual.

Check if its format and content are in accordance with the requirements andwhether translated into the English language.

Note: The presence and content of a fireproof identification plate has no safetyrelevance; any non-compliance should be reported (if at all) as a General remarkonly.

Note: Although ICAO does not specifically allow carrying other than the originalof the document, inspectors could accept a certified copy provided that it iscertified by the issuing authority. Electronic copies could also be accepted as longas their reliability is assured. Suchassurance coulde.g. be done by means of anauthority letter allowing the electronic carriage of document copies and/or bymeans of the digital (electronic) signature ofsuch copies.

Note: Standards requiring that certain documents are to be carried on board donot specify that such documents shall be carried as hardcopies.

Check for presence and accuracy (including the Operations Specifications).Check if format (layout and content) of AOC and operations specifications isin compliance with Annex 6 (including English translation if written inanother language). If the AOC is not carried on board while engaged incommercial operations, apply the procedure described in GM7ARO.RAMP. 130 Assessment of findings on certificates and licenses prior tocategorisation.

Note 1: although ICAO requires a specific layout, no finding but a Category Gremark should be raised if the content is in compliance with the ICAOrequirements, but the layout is different.

Note 2: ICAO Annex 6 requires that the operations specifications specificallymention whether the operator is entitled to transport dangerous goods or not. Incase nothing is mentioned, and no other official document is available on boardindicating the authorisation to transport dangerous goods, no finding should beraised for this reason only and the operator should be considered to be notapproved. In the case the operator was actually or intending to transporting DG,a cat. 3 finding can be raised ("Commercial Air Transport operations not inaccordance with the operations specifications").

If the AOC contains an expiration date, check if within the validity period.Check if the aircraft operation (inbound and outbound) is in compliance withthe Operations Specifications (limitations, special authorisations: LowVisibility Operations (LVO), (B/P)RNAV, RVSM, MNPS, ETOPS, dangerousgoods, and others required for the particular type of operation).

Note: Annex 6 requires to carry a certified true copy (certified by an "appropriateauthority") of the air operator certificate (AOC) to be carried during each flight.However, as the appropriate certification of a copy is difficult to be verified onthe ramp, only a cat G remark should be raised when a non-certified copy of theAOC is found on board. For the same reason, electronic copies could also beaccepted.

Note: Standards requiring that certain documents are to be carried on board donot specify that such documents shall be carried as hardcopies. Therefore,electronic documents are acceptable as well in those cases where the competentauthority issues the original as an electronic document with electronicsignatures.

Note: If the AOC and/or operations specifications were not found on boardduring the inspection, the Category 3 PDF reflecting this shall be used. If nodocument is provided during the time of inspection, the aircraft can still bereleased as a non-commercial General Aviation flight. However, if during thefollow-up process the appropriate evidence is received that a valid documentwas issued at the time of the inspection, the finding should be downgraded tothe Category 1 finding created for this purpose (see GM7 ARO.RAMP.130Assessment offindings on certificates and licenses prior to categorisation)

Check for presence and accuracy. Check for the correct name/callsign.

Note: Following the Articles 29e and 30 of the Chicago Convention, a radiolicense is a license to install radio transmitting apparatus. ICAO does notspecify the information to be mentioned on the Radio License. The requirementto have a radio license is originating from Article 18 of the Radio Regulationsfrom the International Telecommunications Union, which requires the issuingState to include, besides the name/callsign, "thegeneral characteristics of theinstallation" into the license. However, the exact content of such a license isonly given by the ITUas a recommendation only (Recommendation 7 Rev. WRC-97). Therefore no finding should be raised on the content of the radio license,unless the mentioned information is incorrect.

Note: Although ICAO does not specifically allow carrying other than the originalof the document, inspectors could accept a certified copy provided that it iscertified by the issuing authority. Electronic copies could also be accepted aslongas theirreliability is assured. Such assurance could e.g. be done by meansofan authority letter allowing the electronic carriage ofdocument copies and/orby means of the digital (electronic) signature ofsuch copies.

Note: Standards requiring that certain documents are to be carried on board donot specify that such documents shall be carried as hardcopies. Therefore,electronic documents are acceptable as well in those cases where the competentauthority issues the original as an electronic document with electronicsignatures.Note: If the Radio License is not carried on board during the inspection whileengaged in commercial operations, apply the procedure described in GM7ARO.RAMP.130 Assessment of findings on certificates and licenses prior tocategorisation.

Note: Often HFEs in excess of those required (by MEL provisions) may be U/S,however in such a case, check against the MEL to verify compliance with theapplicable (M) and/or (O) provisions. If the latter MEL actions have not beenapplied, a finding should be raised using the "detection/reporting/assessment ofsignificant technical defect"procedure (see GM6 ARO.RAMP.130 Categorisation offindings).

Note: ICAOdoes not require hand fire extinguishers to have an expiration (or nextcheck) date. Operators may employ various systems to monitor the condition ofthe extinguishers. An extinguisher without a date does not necessarily constitutea finding. However, if the expiry date (or next inspection date) is overdue, consideras unserviceable.

equipment


Check for presence, access and condition. Check if the oxygen masks allow for aquick donning (rapid fitment).

Note: ICAO does not provide a detailed definition of what is a "quick donning"mask. The inspector must therefore act carefully when raising a finding on thismatter. Masks that do not meet all the FAA or EU-OPS criteria (place on the facewith one hand, less than 5 sec.) must be reported as general remark (G).However, a legitimatefinding on the lack of quick donning masks can be raised ifthe flight crew is unable to prove that:

- the masks are serviceable for all the flight crew members,- the masks enable radio communication,- the masks do not represent an hindrance to flight crew members wearing

glasses.Check oxygen cylinder pressure. In case of low pressure, check the minimumrequired according to the OPS manual. Flight Crew can be asked to perform anoperational functional check of the combined oxygen and communicationsystem, as this will reveal the status of its integrity.

Note: ICAO does not require oxygen masks or oxygen bottles to have an expiration(or next check) date. Operators may employ various systems to monitor thecondition of the oxygen masks. An oxygen mask or bottle without a date does notnecessarily constitute a finding. However, if the expiry date (or next inspectiondate) is overdue, consider as unserviceable.Note: In the case where the inspection reveals that the smoke goggles areunserviceable this should be reported as a General Remark (Cat. G). However, ifaccording to the operation manual/list of survival equipment such goggles have tobe available and serviceable, appropriate follow-up measures have to be applied.Whenever a combination of oxygen mask and smoke goggles is used, inspectorsshould verify if the two are compatible; in case of serious doubt a demonstrationof the equipment might be requested to proof incompatibility. Incompatible devicesrender the goggles unserviceable.

Check for presence and validity of crew licenses and appropriate ratings. If thelicense of aflight crew member is not carried on board at the time of theinspection, apply the procedure described in GM7 ARO.RAMP.130 Assessmentof findings on certificates and licenses prior to categorization. Check forpresence and validity of the Medical Certificate and, if appropriate, for theprivileges exercised. If the Medical Certificate of flight crew member is notcarried on board at the time of the inspection, apply the procedure described inGM7 ARO.RAMP.130 Assessment of findings on certificates and licenses prior tocategorization. Check if form and content (including English translation) is incompliance with ICAO Annex 1 (e.g. the means to easily determine the license'sprivileges and validity of ratings). Check if the flight crew members are meetingthe age requirements (60 years for single-pilot operations, 65 years for multi-pilot operations). In case of licenses issued by an authority other than the one ofthe State of Registry, check the validation of the license. Check for sparecorrecting spectacles (in case a flight crew member is required to wear correctivelenses). Check for endorsement of language proficiency (LP) in the license.

Note: The explicit mentioning of the LPLevel in the license is not mandatory andsuch a case should not be considered as finding. However, in the case when thereis indicated a level lower than level 4 this should be considered a finding. Thesame is for the expiry date of level 4 and 5 endorsements: they are not required tobe mentioned,but if they are mentioned and expired, a finding can be raised.

Note: With the adoption of Resolution A38-8, ICAO recognizes that States havemade significant progress in implementing the English language provisions sincetheir adoption in 2003. As a consequence, the flexibility clause relative to Statesthat were not compliant with the language provisions by 5 March 2011 has beenremoved, and States may discontinue transmitting to ICAO their implementationplans for the language proficiency requirements. Languageproficiency findings onlicenses shall be categorised as cat. 3 findings.

Note: Notwithstanding the note above, whenever a license holder is found nothaving his/her license endorsed with the required ELP, but the inspector issatisfied that such flight crew member can obviously communicateeffectively in English (e.g. in case of an English native speaker), the absence of theendorsement shall be reported as a cat. 1finding.Note: Following the adoption of Resolution A38-8, the protocol questions of theUSOAP Continuous Monitoring Approach (CMA) will be used to monitor theimplementation of the language proficiency requirements. The relevantimplementation information (which willprovide the necessary tool to continuouslymonitor the status of compliance of the language proficiency requirements) will bemade available on the ICAO web-pagehttp:// www, icao.int/safety/ Ipr/Pages/Language-Proficiency-Requirements,aspx.

Note: If during a ramp inspection a pilot is found to be properly endorsed with therequired ELP, but has obvious difficulties in communicating in English, this shouldbe reported as a finding. Such finding should be raised only by inspectorspossessing an adequate English knowledge (e.g. native speakers, holders of avalid languageproficiency certificate).

Note: The appropriate Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 Medical Assessment can beissued to the license holder in several ways such as a suitably titled separatecertificate, a statement on the license, a national regulation stipulating that theMedical Assessment is an integral part of the license, etc..

Note: Certified copies offlight crew licenses (certified by the issuing authority),although not meeting the Part-FCL requirements, should not be accepted, unless itis clear that the original is with the issuer for the purpose of renewal, etc. - in thiscases a finding should not be raised.

Note: If the license of a flight crew member was not found on board during theinspection, the Category 3 PDF reflecting this shall be used. However, if beforedeparture the appropriate evidence is received that the crew member is indeedholding an appropriate and valid license, but simply did not carry this license, thecategory 1 finding "Flight crew holding appropriate License but not carried onboard at the time of the inspection" should be raised. If such evidence is notprovided before departure, the category 3 finding "Flight crew without appropriatelicense" (requiring corrective actions before the flight) is authorised. Under nocircumstances, a flight crew member should be permitted to perform flying dutieswithout receiving confirmation that s/he has been issued an appropriate andvalid license.

Check if the crew composition meets the minimum crew requirements (availablein the AFM). When circumstances dictate (e.g. aircraft undergoes significantdelay), check whether the crew members are in compliance with the flight andduty time rules contained within the Operations Manual.

Check if the installed extinguisher(s) is at the indicated location and easilyaccessible. Check if the installed extinguisher is correctly secured in its bracket.Check if the installed extinguisher(s) is marked with the appropriate operatinginstructions.

Check if the installed extinguisher(s), including the extinguishing agent releasemechanism, is serviceable - check pressure gauge (if installed), check expirationdate (if any). If considerably low weight, consider it unserviceable.

Note: Often HFEs in excess of those required (by MEL provisions) may be U/S,however in such a case, check against the MEL to verify compliance with theapplicable (M) and/or (O) procedures. If the latter MEL actions have not beenapplied, a finding should be raised using the "detection / reporting / assessmentof significant technical defect" procedure (see GM6 ARO.RAMP.130 Categorisationoffindings).

Note: ICAO does not require handfire extinguishers to have an expiration (or nextcheck) date. Operators may employ various systems to monitor the condition ofthe extinguishers. An extinguisher without a date does not necessarily constitutea finding. However, if the expiry date (or next inspectiondate) is overdue, considerit as unserviceable.

Life jackets/ Flotationdevices


Check for presence, access, sufficient number and serviceability.

Note: ICAO does not require life jackets to have an expiration (or next check)date. Operators may employ various systems to monitor the condition of the lifejackets. A life jacket orflotation device without a date does not necessarilyconstitute a finding. However, if the expiry date (or next inspection date) isoverdue, consider it as unserviceable.Note: ICAO requires the carriage of life jackets/flotation devices only for over-water flights (see Annex 6 references below). If neither the inbound nor theoutbound flight or series offlights are over-water flights, then findings shouldnot be raised for this inspection item.

Note: In the case where spare lifejackets have been found to be unserviceable,this should reported as a General Remark (Cat. G).

Emergencyexit,lighting,marking,flash light,and

megaphone


Check for presence and condition of the emergency exit signs, lighting andmarking and independent portable lights. Check for presence and condition ofan escape path illumination system.

Check for presence and condition of the visual indication of the path toemergency exits in smoke filled cabins. Check for the presence of operatinginstructions on the emergency exits.

Note: Inspectors should be reminded that there is a difference betweenilluminated escape paths and a visual indication of the path to emergency exitsin smoke filled cabins. Aero planes over 5 700 kg, for which application forcertification was submitted before 13 June 1960, are not required to have anillumination of the escape path and exits. Aero planes over 5 700 kg, for whichapplication for certification was submitted before 2 March 2004, are notrequired to have the visual indication of the path to emergency exits in smokefilled cabins. If an illuminated visual indication system is used, by means oflow-mounted lights or the photo luminescent system, both requirements are met.Although the visual indication is not required by ICAOfor most aircraft, the vastmajority of aircraft is already equipped with such indications. Any defects ofsuch means of indication should be governed by the MEL; the finding shouldmake reference to the MEL.

Check that appropriate independent portable lights are readily available at allcrew member stations.

Check their condition, serviceability and access. Please note that flightsdeparting in daylight, but extending into the night, shall meet thisrequirement.

Note: Only aircraft operated at night require independent portable lights for thecrew. This includes flights departing in daylight but extending into the night,and aircraft departed at night and arrived in daytime. When inspecting daylightonly flights, the absence or unserviceability of any independent portable lightdoes not constitute a finding. This should however be reported as GeneralRemark (Cat. G).

Note: If the proper functioning of the torch is significantly affected as a result ofweak batteries, consider it unserviceable. Note: If only personal torches areavailable, this should not be considered as a finding provided they are readilyavailable to the cabin crew from their normal positions. This should however bereported as a General Remark (Cat. G).
