Compliance monitoring
How compliance monitoring works at a UK Certificated Aerodrome.
Under UK(EU) 139/2014 Aerodrome Operators are responsible for compliance monitoring.
Aerodrome Operators are required to establish an internal auditing process (compliance monitoring) as described in ADR.OR.D.005 Management System, paragraph (b)(11) and the supporting AMC. CAA, through its aerodrome oversight programme, will seek to verify compliance with the applicable requirements’
Over the 36 month oversight cycle CAA will seek to verify compliance with all of the applicable requirements and the effectiveness of the Aerodromes Safety Management System. The compliance monitoring programme established and implemented by the aerodrome operator is an important part of this process.
To support the Aerodrome Operator’s compliance monitoring programme, a number of Question Banks have been prepared and relevant ones will be provided with the audit notification correspondence.
Instructions for completing and returning the question banks can be found on page 1 of each question bank document.
