For a small country, what are the advantages and disadvantages for regulatory compliance by havingthe accident investigation organization as a department within the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)?2. A small country sells its national flag airline to an outside investor who over time does not complywith government oversight directives. Even worse, the CAA now does not have the income streamfrom the airline to sustain its oversight program and finds itself on the European Blacklist. Whatshould the CAA do to get out of this situation?3. A small country receives aid from ICAO in the form of training for air traffic controllers and aircraftmaintenance personnel. Unfortunately as soon as these people are trained they are hired by othercountries in part because the CAA will not make openings to hire these newly qualified staff andbecause the salaries are higher in other locations. ICAO says this is the last time it will provide thetraining unless the CAA can retain these new people. However, the current staff, which areunqualified, protests because they do not want to lose their jobs or have to work for younger but morequalified people. What can the CAA do to resolve this challenge?4. The CAA has recently mandated the implementation of Safety Management System in compliancewith ICAO Annex 19, including a required voluntary reporting system for all airlines, airports and airtraffic control facilities. However, at the same time the CAA realizes that these voluntary reports area great way to identify who is doing things incorrectly. The CAA wants to use the voluntary reportsfor administrative and regulatory compliance sanctions. Why is this a good or bad idea and whatcould be some responses from the industry?5. The Republic of Homanistan does not have a general aviation program and relies on retirees from themilitary to fly its national civil airline. There is no competition and over time this national airline hasfar too many employees to cover its modest income. At the same time the military has excess aircraftand their pilots would greatly appreciate more experience. The Minister of Defence has proposed toallow military aircraft to conduct revenue flights in order to give his pilots more experience, toprovide funding for the military and to provide competition for the national airline. What are theproblems for aviation regulatory compliance with this proposal?6. A well-established airline is seeking authority to purchase several new aircraft that have neveroperated in its country of registry. The CAA is reluctant to allow this purchase and registrationbecause they have no one trained on this aircraft to provide adequate safety oversight. What optionsare available to the airline and the CAA?7. Several countries form a Regional Safety Oversight Organization (RSOO) for regulatory complianceinspections of their airlines, airports and air traffic control programs. How is it then possible forICAO (or another organization such as EASA or FAA) to determine if each country is complyingwith its regulatory oversight obligations during a USOAP or other aviation safety audit?8. ICAO standards only apply to civil aviation. Thus, there are no ICAO documents related to militaryoperations. How can an airport comply with ICAO standards and at the same time support joint civil-military airport operations such as firefighting, aircraft ordnance, arresting gear and other uniquemilitary activities?
