ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ASIS/HSIS/WASIS Section 1. Role and Responsibilities of Aerodrome Safety Inspectors 7.2.1.1 GENERAL A. Aerodrome Safety Inspectors have the major responsibilities and duties for, inter-alia, certification, authorization and establishment of aerodromes. The aerodrome safety inspectors generally report to the Manager or as assigned by General Manager, Aerodrome Safety Department (AGA). In this E-Book, team leader of certification or authorization process is referred as Certificate Project Manager (CPM) and Authorization Project Manager (APM). The responsibilities shall include, inter-alia, certification, authorization, establishment permission, safety oversight, change management, competence assessment, compliance enforcement, inspections, audits and surveillance of the aerodromes, heliports and water aerodromes on existing certified aerodromes or new aerodromes etc. B. ASIs responsibilities also include to review the aerodrome manuals, standard operation procedures, obstacles evaluation, assessment of safety management system manuals, aerodrome emergency plans and other requirements of certification and authorization as required by GACAR Part 139. In case such subject expertise is not available within Aerodrome Safety Department, then Manager shall coordinate with other respective department for services in such subject areas. C. ASIs shall also have the responsibilities as defined in Chapter 3 of E-Book Volume 1, specially for the following besides described in this e-book: 1. Section 1 – Aerodrome Safety Inspector Responsibilities; 2. Section 2 – Aerodrome Safety Inspector Ethics and Conduct; 3. Section 3 – Access to Aerodromes and Other Areas; and 4. Section 4 – Aerodrome Safety Inspector Training Requirements. D. Aerodrome Safety Inspectors should also be familiar with the provisions and requirements of E-Book Volume 2–Safety Management Systems, E-Book Volume 12-Surveillance, Page 13 E-BOOK VOLUME 7 UNCONTROLLED DOCUMENT WHEN DOWNLOADED VERSION 6.0 Consult the GACA website for current version GACA المينه العامه للطيران المدني General Authority of Civil Aviation EBOOK VOLUME 7. AERODROMES, HELIPORTS, VERTIPORTS AND WATER AERODROMES ADMINISTRATION Public - عл and Volume 13–Compliance Enforcement and Resolution. 7.2.1.2 AERODROME SAFETY INSPECTOR RESPONSIBILITIES AND TYPICAL DUTIES A. Aerodrome Safety 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 (GACARs). B. Aerodrome Safety Inspectors are also responsible for preventing violations of regulations whenever possible. One way to assure this is through the aerodrome certification or authorization process where an Aerodrome Safety Inspector assures that applicants are in compliance with the GACARs before issuing any certificate or authorization. C. Aerodrome Safety Inspectors also ensure that all applicable persons comply with the regulations on a continuing basis through a thorough and systematic surveillance program. D. If, during the performance of any of these duties, the Aerodrome Safety Inspector finds or becomes aware of any violation of the GACARs, the Aerodrome Safety Inspector must investigate and report according to provisions given in GACAR Part 13. E. Aerodrome Safety Inspectors should: 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 Aerodrome Safety Inspector finds offensive and the bad in those the Aerodrome Safety Inspector likes. 3. Leave the final decisions (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 Aerodrome Safety Inspector's feelings, opinions, and conjecture in the analysis, clearly separating them from the facts. 5. Report what the Aerodrome Safety Inspector must instead of what the Aerodrome Safety Inspector wants; be detached and not emotionally involved.

AERODROMES, HELIPORTS, VERTIPORTS AND WATER AERODROMES ADMINISTRATION Public - عام 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 Aerodrome Safety 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 Aerodrome Safety Inspectors and the supervisor can sometimes be very effective, provided the Aerodrome Safety Inspector is willing to take the advice given. If the Aerodrome Safety Inspector is unwilling to accept that advice, his investigatory and reporting problems are likely to multiply. 7.2.1.3 The typical duties of an Aerodrome Safety Inspector as regards to aerodrome certification process will also include but not be limited to the following: A. Examine the application for aerodrome certifications. B. Review the Aerodrome Manual and verify, inter-alia, aerodrome data in the aerodrome manual as per provisions given in chapter 4 of this E-Book including details of: 1. Location of the aerodrome; 2. Name and address of the aerodrome operator; 3. Movement area; 4. Runway declared distances available; 5. Aeronautical ground lighting; 6. Ground services; 7.
