BULLETINPAKISTAN CAA -- ICAO

From Editor’s DeskDear Colleagues,

This issue covers about the New Green Field Islamabad Interna�onal Airport which is planned to be inaugurated soon by the Prime Minister of Pakistan and will be made opera�onal on 3rd May 2018 as one of Asia's major avia�on hubs and a des�na�on in itself. The New Airport is equipped with cu�ng edge technologies of 21st century with state-of-the-art facili�es for passengers. This Bulle�n also covers the journey of PCAA towards its recer�fica�on under QMS 9001:2015 together with its benefits. Readers are also apprised on the principles outlined by ICAO on "Good Regulatory Prac�ces", encouraging the States to adopt them in their regulatory prac�ces. The Bulle�n also highlights the Work Plan for Regulatory Authori�es, as outlined by ICAO for CORSIA (Carbon Offse�ng and Reduc�on Scheme for Interna�onal Avia�on), which has to be followed by PCAA in its true le�er and spirit. Lastly, with up-coming challenge of developing regula�ons on Unmanned Avia�on, ICAO has forwarded the Key Terms to be used to ensure consistency in terminology.

The Bulle�n is also accessible on PCAA web site. (www.caapakistan.com.pk>useful links>ICAO Bulle�n). We are open to sugges�ons and would always appreciate your feedback.

KEY TERMS USED FOR UNMANNED AVIATION

Since many States do not yet have the regula�ons for Unmanned Avia�on in place, therefore, to support consistent terminology, the Key Terms to be used are as follows:

UNMANNED AIRCRAFT (UA) Unmanned Aircra� (UA) operate as part of an Unmanned Aircra� System (UAS) which also includes a Remote Pilot Sta�on (RPS), a C2 Link for control and management, and other necessary components.

UA includes a broad spectrum of aircra�, from drones, unmanned free balloons, and model aircra�, to highly complex Remotely Piloted Aircra� (RPA) operated by licensed avia�on professionals.

REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT (RPA) RPAs are a subset of UA. A further subset of RPA is expected to be accommodated and ul�mately integrated into the airspace for Interna�onal, Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) opera�ons, which will require full regulatory cer�fica�on.

SMALL UA/DRONES Generally weighing less than 25 kg, this subset of smaller UAs is commonly referred to as drones.

UNMANNED FREE BALLOON This term describes non-power driven, unmanned, lighter-than-air aircra� in free flight.

MODEL AIRCRAFT This term describes small size unmanned aircra�, generally represen�ng a scaled down version of full size aircra� and used for recrea�onal purposes in the sport and pas�me of aeromodelling.

• Focus on the interac�on of organiza�on with its internal and external environment to determine the interested par�es, their requirements, risks & opportuni�es and ac�on to mi�gate the an�cipated risks in a structured manner.• Greater emphasis on leadership engagement.• Comprehensive focus on supply chain management.• Composi�on of a knowledge-based organiza�on with competent manpower.

Islamabad Interna�onal Airport being first green field airport developed by PCAA; it was a test case for SQMS Directorate to iden�fy the latent hazards. SQMS Directorate conducted SMS and OHSAS Risk Assessments at IIAP and significant working has been done to iden�fy the risks and suggest the mi�ga�ve ac�ons.

In coming months, SQMS Directorate intends to take up phased implementa�on of Occupa�onal Health & Safety, Environmental Management System, Energy Management System and Informa�on Security Management Systems in PCAA. Basic framework has been established and execu�on strategy has been prepared in this regard.

Good Regulatory PracticesAt the 39th Session of the ICAO Assembly, there was a general support expressed in favour of “Smart Regula�on” approach, advocated by the Interna�onal Air Transport Associa�on (IATA), which encouraged States to adopt this approach in their regulatory prac�ces. The principles of this "good regulatory prac�ces" approach are currently under review by ICAO within the context of its ‘No Country Le� Behind’ (NCLB) ini�a�ve.

Policy Design Principles• Consistency and Coherence – Regula�ons should be consistent with exis�ng (and planned) rules and prac�ces that are applicable to regulated ac�vi�es so that there are no overlaps and contradic�ons (na�onally or interna�onally). They should also be predictable and applied with clear oversight responsibility and without discrimina�on against those being regulated. • Proportionality – Regula�ons should be used only when their necessity is demonstrated and should be propor�onate to the problems iden�fied so that the costs of compliance are minimized by pursuing the most cost-effec�ve solu�on. • Targeted at risk – Regula�ons should have specific and well-defined objec�ves that respond directly to the

problems iden�fied. Whenever appropriate, flexibility should be given to those being regulated to meet defined objec�ves. • Fair and non-distortive – Regula�ons should be applied fairly and not create discriminatory burdens on any group in par�cular. • Clarity and Certainty – Audiences subject to regulatory compliance need to clearly know the regula�ons that will apply, what is expected of them, and have sufficient �me to be able to comply with new requirements.

Process Principles • The objec�ve of the regula�on should be iden�fied based on sound evidence and available alterna�ves; and should be considered to select the most appropriate solu�on. • There should be an assessment of the impacts from the regula�on prior to implementa�on; and should be regularly monitored.• The dra�ing of the regula�on should involve those who are poten�ally affected; the decision making process should be transparent and objec�ve. • The process of developing the regula�on should allow for regular and systema�c review (and subsequent modifica�on, if needed) to ensure that the regula�on is s�ll appropriate. • There should be clear procedures to respond to adjudica�ons and appeals and to revise the regula�on if necessary.

CORSIA In 2016 CORSIA (Carbon Offse�ng and Reduc�on Scheme for Interna�onal Avia�on) was launched at the 39th ICAO Assembly to address the annual increase in CO2 emissions from Interna�onal Civil Avia�on and agreed upon by 191 member states. It is a global market-based measure (MBM) created with the aim of achieving the avia�on industry's aspira�onal goal of capping greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at 2020 levels, delivering “carbon neutral growth from 2020”. The Work Plan for Regulatory Authori�es as outlined by ICAO is as follows:

AUTHORITYStandardiza�on always results in efficiency and cost effec�veness. In the era, when the whole world is moving towards standardiza�on, efficiency, customer focus and cost effec�veness, PCAA embarked its journey towards acquiring Interna�onal Management System Standards in 2008. Directorate of SQMS was established to ins�tu�onalize the requirements of Management System Standards (MSSs). Over the period of �me mul�ple organiza�onal standardized prac�ces were established and implemented in CAA, which resulted in a refined system of documenta�on, management reviews and internal audi�ng leading to a profound performance evalua�on system. In 2015 and 2016 PCAA got its 4 major airports, CATI and HQCAA cer�fied on QMS 9001:2008. Presently, PCAA is an ISO cer�fied organiza�on.

Upon transi�on of Quality Management System Standard QMS from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 by ISO, SQMS Directorate took measures required for this transi�on. Major requirements were earmarked and required ac�ons have
