TAAG Angolan Airlines

| (13) | TAAG Angolan Airlines has submitted on 21 November 2014, through the competent authorities of Angola (INAVIC), a request to add a new aircraft of type Boeing 777-300 to Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. However, there are persistent difficulties to establish and maintain regular contact with INAVIC as well as with TAAG Angolan Airlines. These difficulties extend also to INAVIC's contacts with ICAO, which has led in the recent past to a number of cancellations of previously scheduled ICAO audits. This indicates that there are internal communication problems within both TAAG Angolan Airlines and INAVIC as well as between them, which makes it difficult to adequately assess whether the granting of the request by TAAG Angolan Airlines would entail safety risks. Therefore, the Commission considers that the most appropriate way to proceed is to request both INAVIC as well as TAAG Angolan Airlines to fully engage with the Commission in the near future, with a view to thoroughly reviewing the current safety situation in all its aspects, including with regard to the addition of new aircraft to the fleet of TAAG Angolan Airlines. |

On the basis of that information, it appears that CAAB would like ICAO to conduct another ICVM before the end of this year, in order to verify that the corrective actions that were taken are sufficient to resolve the two SSCs.

| (20) | The assessment of the information provided further indicates that all air carriers were recertified and had been provided with new Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) on the same date. This will lead to a peak in workload for CAAB every time these AOCs need to be renewed. The CAAB has developed a surveillance program for the safety oversight of the air carriers, but the implementation of this program is behind schedule. Finally, during the oversight activities only a limited number of findings is recorded and as a consequence, it is difficult to determine the capacity of the CAAB to resolve emerging safety issues. In order to clarify these issues, additional information will be requested by the Commission and the CAAB will be invited by the Commission to a technical meeting to discuss any further details with respect to the safety oversight situation in Botswana. |

DNAC has continued to address the remaining USOAP findings in terms of the associated protocol questions, through the use of ICAO's Continuous Monitoring Approach (CMA) online tool. Between the beginning of August and the end of September 2014 ICAO has conducted an off-site validation of the protocol questions amenable to remote verification. As a result, the overall effective implementation of the eight critical elements showed a slight improvement. |

The latest progress report and its supporting documents received by the Commission and EASA on 26 September 2014 indicate that IACM has continued to work on the update of the legal framework by submitting legislative proposals to further align the civil aviation act with ICAO requirements, to have its role upgraded from one of a mere regulator to that of an authority and to further pursue the alignment of its existing regulations with the amended ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS). The recruitment and training of staff continues, in order to further reinforce the oversight capacity, mainly in the areas of operations and licencing, aerodromes, airworthiness, rulemaking and enforcement. The internal capacity building efforts are strengthened through partnerships with African and European authorities, as well as with regional organisations. A gap analysis of the aerodrome certification has been conducted for all airports and a detailed plan for the certification of the international airports (Maputo, Beira and Nacala) has been requested, with a view to initiating the process in 2015. The State Safety Programme is being established and is expected to be completed by 2017. |

The recruitment and training of staff continues, in order to further reinforce the oversight capacity, mainly in the areas of operations and licencing, aerodromes, airworthiness, rulemaking and enforcement. The internal capacity building efforts are strengthened through partnerships with African and European authorities, as well as with regional organisations. A gap analysis of the aerodrome certification has been conducted for all airports and a detailed plan for the certification of the international airports (Maputo, Beira and Nacala) has been requested, with a view to initiating the process in 2015. The State Safety Programme is being established and is expected to be completed by 2017.

| (81) | IACM has continued to address the outstanding USOAP findings in terms of the associated protocol questions. In addition, many of the required regulations and procedures to support the replies have been produced and the associated documentation uploaded, through the use of ICAO's CMA online tool. The validation of these actions by ICAO is currently pending. |

| (83) | The significant progress reported by IACM in the rectification of the deficiencies identified by ICAO has been noted and its efforts towards completing their work of establishing an aviation system fully compliant with international standards are encouraged. Recognising the significant progress already achieved, and the expected further progress, a Union safety assessment mission might take place in the first quarter of 2015. However, for the time being, the fact remains that several important aviation safety-related issues still need to be fully and adequately addressed. |

| (84) | The investigation into the crash of the air carrier Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique SA (LAM) on 29 November 2013 is still ongoing. The final accident investigation report is expected by the end of 2014. Following the accident, LAM has conducted an extensive review of internal safety and security training, mechanisms and procedures, resulting in the implementation of more demanding organisational and operational requirements. In parallel, the work has continued to further improve the Safety Management System (SMS), with a particular attention to flight data analysis and exchange. |

Air carriers from Zambia

Air carriers from Zambia

| (124) | By letter of 15 May 2014, the Zambian Department of Civil Aviation reported to the Commission that the Zambia Civil Aviation Authority (ZCAA) is operational and that its administrative capacity is being reinforced. That letter also provided an update on the corrective actions taken to address the existing deficiencies, including a Safety Plan, which the Commission received on 5 August 2014. That Safety Plan sets out the additional actions that need to be taken to establish an efficient and effective safety regulatory and oversight system in Zambia and contains clear goals for the short, medium and long term. |

| (125) | It appears that the Zambian Department of Civil Aviation has made progress and the Zambian authorities are encouraged to continue to make further improvements, with a view to the current restrictions being reconsidered at the appropriate moment after the necessary verification. However, for the time being, a number of important deficiencies remain, notably regarding the establishment of the ZCAA, including an adequate number of properly trained staff, and the update of legislation and regulations to implement the provisions of the ICAO Annexes which have been identified in the Safety Plan and in respect of which the corresponding actions are still to be carried out. |
