During that visit the CAC demonstrated that it has made considerable progress in recent years. The CAC has focussed on the implementation of ICAO standards and recommended practices. The CAC has a traditional compliance-based approach to aviation safety and it recently began implementing contemporary aviation safety management techniques, including a State Safety Programme. It also made efforts to recruit and train additional inspectors for the oversight of the aviation industry in Kazakhstan. The executive team of the CAC has a high level of experience and the staff of the CAC is, overall, knowledgeable. The safety oversight system of the CAC is based on checking compliance with the regulations applicable in Kazakhstan, although it makes use of a rather rigid checklist approach. |

| (79) | On 13 September 2016, a technical meeting was held between the Commission, EASA and the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (‘CAAT’). During this meeting the CAAT updated the Commission with information on the implementation of the corrective action plan that the CAAT developed to resolve the findings and the SSC that were identified by ICAO after the ICAO audit of January 2015. In particular, the CAAT provided information on improvements enacted since May 2016 with respect to its financing scheme, the development of its organisation, including the number of available inspectors, the newly appointed managers, the introduction of an information management system, improvement of the primary aviation legislation, the update of operating regulations and internal manuals, the training of inspectors and a new start to the safety oversight activities in Thailand. |

| (80) | The CAAT is currently working on the recertification of the air carriers certified in Thailand and in doing so it makes use of the structured five phase approach. This project commenced on 12 September 2016 and for the 25 air carriers that operate internationally it is scheduled to be completed in September 2017. According to the CAAT, sufficient inspectors and support from technical assistance providers are available to carry out the project. In this respect it is important to note that the CAAT still does not accept applications from new air carriers for air operator certificates and the existing air carriers are limited in increasing their activities. This contributes to manage the workload of the certification project and ensures that no new safety risks are introduced. |

| (81) | Based on the information presented during the meeting it became clear that, although the CAAT had indicated this to be a priority, the day-to-day oversight and surveillance of aviation activities is lagging behind. The inspection activities mainly take place in respect of airworthiness and not flight operations. According to the CAAT, the day-to-day oversight and surveillance of aviation activities will gradually improve when new inspectors are recruited and trained and the automated monitoring system is fully implemented. |

In order to monitor the situation closely, consultations with the authorities from Thailand are to continue, in accordance with Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 473/2006. |
