Preparing the aerodrome certification process
We support airport operators in preparing, organizing, and navigating the aerodrome certification process by assessing infrastructure, organizational framework, and operational processes against applicable requirements. We analyze the aerodrome configuration, activities carried out, and intended operating conditions to identify the documentation, checks, and measures necessary to demonstrate compliance.
Initial assessment and action plan
We perform assessments of the current situation and structure the results into compliance matrices, non-compliance records, and action plans. We correlate the characteristics of infrastructure and equipment with operating procedures, maintenance programs, available resources, and staff responsibilities. We identify the differences between the documented situation and what is observed on-site and, together with the operator, establish priorities, responsibilities, and remediation steps.
Files and supporting documentation
We prepare, review, and correlate technical documentation, the aerodrome manual, operational procedures, and supporting records necessary for the certification process. We track consistency between plans, aeronautical data, declared infrastructure characteristics, and actual operating conditions. We document the organization of activities, the interfaces between the involved structures, and coordination mechanisms so that responsibilities and the way requirements are met are clearly defined and verifiable.
Preparing for AACR inspections
We provide assistance in preparing for AACR audits and inspections through preliminary checks, organizing evidence of compliance, and preparing staff to present relevant processes and records. We support the analysis of findings, identification of root causes for non-compliance, and the development of corrective action plans. We prepare technical responses to requests for clarification and follow up on the documentation of measure implementation, including verifying their effectiveness and establishing the records required to support the closure of findings.
Changes affecting certification
We provide support for the evaluation and documentation of changes to infrastructure, equipment, organization, or operations that may affect the basis or conditions of certification. We analyze the implications for procedures, aeronautical data, resources, and safety measures and correlate the change documentation with the change management process. We support the preparation of applicable notification or approval procedures and the updating of affected documents, with attention to implementation phasing and operational continuity.
Keeping documentation up to date
We also provide support for keeping certification documentation up to date by integrating operational changes, applicable requirements, and measures resulting from AACR audits and internal compliance checks. We track the traceability of revisions and the permanent consistency between the documentation, infrastructure, and the actual manner in which airport activities are conducted.
