parts of the validation are completed within the interval for the validation provided for by this section.

       (6) Despite anything else in this section, if an aerodrome serviceability inspection identifies a defect or deficiency mentioned in paragraph (8) (a), (b) or (c), a validation must be carried out immediately.

       (7) A validation must check for non-compliance with the standards in this MOS, and for any error in reported information for the items listed in subsection (11).

       (8) If any of the following is identified during a validation, a report must be submitted to CASA within 30 days of the identification:

(a) incorrect aerodrome information published in the AIP or a NOTAM, or reported to ATC (if applicable);

(b) any details in the aerodrome manual which are incorrect or are not current;

(c) any procedure in use at the aerodrome which is not in accordance with, or conflicts with, procedures in the aerodrome manual.

Note   If CASA is sent an amendment to the aerodrome manual which addresses the deficient items outlined in this subsection, this would normally constitute an acceptable report.

       (9) Following completion of a validation, the aerodrome operator must correct any errors and anomalies in the aerodrome manual as soon as possible.

       (10) The aerodrome operator must keep in safe custody records of the results of the annual validation, for at least 3 years after the validation.

       (11) The annual validation must include the following:

(a) a check of the approach, take-off, and transitional surfaces to ensure published aerodrome information is accurate to within 0.05% of the published gradient in the AIP-ERSA;

(b) a check of the other surfaces associated with the OLS;

(c) a check of the aerodrome operator's monitoring of the instrument approach procedure critical obstacles nominated by the procedure designer for any terminal instrument flight procedures published for the aerodrome;

(d) a check of the currency and accuracy of:

 (i) aerodrome information published in the AIP; and

 (ii) aerodrome operating procedures specified in the aerodrome manual and supporting documents;

(e) a check that each person appointed as a reporting officer or a works safety officer is trained and generally competent to carry out the required functions in accordance with this MOS.

       (12) For subsection (11):

(a) the obstacle limitation surfaces must be checked by a person who:

 (i) is technically qualified or experienced in surveying; or

 (ii) both:

              1.         has a sound knowledge and understanding of the standards for obstacle limitation surfaces; and

             (B) can, by appropriate means, validate the accuracy of the current published information in the AIP; and

(b) the check of the aerodrome manual, supporting procedures and published aerodrome information in the AIP must be confirmed by a person with sound knowledge and
