Airport procedures and the aerodrome manual
We develop and revise airport procedures and aerodrome manual documentation for operation, maintenance, and safety for airports in Romania, including Oradea and Bihor.

Processes, responsibilities, and requirements
We develop and update operational and technical procedures for airports, starting from process analysis, infrastructure configuration, equipment characteristics, and operating conditions. We correlate applicable requirements with the certification basis, the aerodrome manual, and organizational responsibilities. For each procedure, we define the scope, field of application, references, necessary resources, personnel competencies, and conditions for initiation, suspension, resumption, and termination of activities.
Stages and control points
We describe the sequence of operations through verifiable stages, with control points, acceptance criteria, and responsibilities for execution, verification, and decision-making. We specify input information, preliminary checks, necessary communications, and resulting records. We address normal situations, foreseeable deviations, and degraded operations, establishing methods for reporting, requesting decisions, and coordinating interventions. Depending on the subject of the documentation, we cover movement area inspections, infrastructure and lighting maintenance, works management, FOD control, winter operations, and other activities relevant to the aerodrome.
Correlation of operational documents
We integrate procedures into a coherent documentary structure and verify interfaces with documents of air traffic services, aircraft operators, handling organizations, and technical service providers. We delineate common responsibilities, decision-making authority, conditions for handover and takeover of activities, and the flow of operational information. We correlate procedures with risk assessments and established control measures, ensuring that the instructions can be applied with the available personnel, equipment, and means of communication.
Field instructions and forms
We develop work instructions, forms, checklists, logic diagrams, and responsibility matrices adapted for field use. We define the content of records, the identification of persons completing or verifying them, and the rules for retention and access. We support the verification of procedure applicability by analyzing representative scenarios, consulting involved personnel, and, where appropriate, conducting exercises or practical checks. We focus on the clarity of wording, highlighting critical stages, and eliminating contradictory or difficult-to-apply instructions.
Aerodrome manual revision
We provide periodic revision and maintenance services for the aerodrome manual in relation to regulatory developments, operational needs, and changes in infrastructure, equipment, or airport organization. We verify the consistency between technical descriptions, plans, aeronautical data, associated procedures, and certification conditions. We integrate changes required following AACR audits and inspections, compliance monitoring, and safety analyses, ensuring the link between findings, corrective actions, and affected documents.
Edition and revision control
We organize edition and revision control through a record of changes, their justification, the identification of affected chapters, and the establishment of implementation dates. We support the preparation of documentation for prior approval or notification to the AACR, depending on the nature of the change and applicable procedures. We manage the updating of references and annexes, controlled distribution, and the withdrawal of obsolete versions from current use. We prepare summaries of changes and information or training materials so that the targeted personnel and organizations are aware of the instructions applicable to their responsibilities.
