AERODROME MANUAL SUMMARY


INTRODUCTION

The Aerodrome Manual is the aerodrome parallel to the airline’s Operations Manual


PURPOSE (1)

The aerodrome manual is a fundamental requirement of the certification process.

It contains all the pertinent information concerning the aerodrome site, facilities, services, equipment, operating procedures, organization and management including the safety management system.


PURPOSE (2)

The information presented in the aerodrome manual should demonstrate that the aerodrome conforms to the certification standards and practices and that there are no apparent shortcomings which would adversely affect the safety of aircraft operations.

The manual is a reference document and provides a checklist of aerodrome certification standards to be maintained and the level of airside services at the aerodrome.


PURPOSE (3)

Information provided in the aerodrome manual will enable the CAA to assess the suitability of the aerodrome for the aircraft operations proposed and to judge an applicant’s fitness to hold a certificate.

It is a basic reference guide for conducting

site inspections for granting an aerodrome certificate and for subsequent safety inspections.


PURPOSE (4)

The aerodrome manual is a reference document agreed between the aerodrome operator and the CAA with respect to the standards, conditions and the level of service to be maintained at the aerodrome.


PURPOSE (5) The aerodrome manual contains all instructions,

information and guidance material necessary to enable aerodrome management and operational staff to perform their duties according to national regulations and the aerodrome’s own requirements.

It is also the document used by the aerodrome to convince the CAA that the operation is planned within the framework of national regulations. As such it forms one part of the basis upon which the CAA grants an Aerodrome Certificate.
