Objectives of FAOSD training • Inspectors will understand the level of access to FAOSD website• Inspectors will learn how to transfer data from the Ramp Inspection

Checklist worksheet to an electronic worksheet.• By the end of this training session, inspectors can input data, edit,

download and print reports • Inspectors can search any inspection report on FAOSD with ease• Inspectors can query reports in the database

Note: FAOSD is a new operating site and we would appreciate receiving your comments for future improvement. e-mail: apac@icao.int

Please also note that the data on the demo site is not real ramp inspections data of APAC states. We adapted ramp inspections data from South American states to APAC RO states for training purposes.

FAOSD - response time• FAOSD is a web-based application which compiles huge databases and the response time is dependent on the bandwidth of the Internet

connection.• When working on the FAOSD website, inspectors should wait until all

data has been downloaded to your pc/notebook before taking action and proceeding to the next step

Ramp Inspection Areas

There are five general inspection areas that may be observed and assessed during a ramp inspection. These inspection areas are:• A. Flight Deck;• B. Cabin/safety items;• C. External condition of the aircraft;• D. Cargo and cargo compartment; • E. General.

13Foreign Air Operator Surveillance Database

Each area (A-E) selected will display its’ own form.

14Foreign Air Operator Surveillance Database

E. General – result of the finding

If the result of the finding of an item is “Not observed” (N/O), “Satisfactory” (S), or “Not applicable” (N/A), the inspector doesn’t need to take any action, and the other fields will remain disabled.If the result of the finding is Unsatisfactory (U), the inspector must do the following:

15Foreign Air Operator Surveillance Database

E. General - Categories of findings

Three (3) categories of findings, with their respective levels of seriousness, have been established for quick identification of the levels of the findings. These categories are:Category 1 (Cat 1) Seriousness level: MinorCategory 2 (Cat 2) Seriousness level: SignificantCategory 3 (Cat 3) Seriousness level: Major

Press the letter (U) in the Result field and Category 1-3 will appearSelect appropriate category.

E. General - Categories of findings

The main purpose of categorizing the findings is to define:

• the level of compliance with the standards contained in the Annexes to the Chicago Convention; and,

• the seriousness of non-compliant aspects, in the case of findings. • APAC RO States must apply established levels of seriousness of findings

when conducting ramp inspections under the FAOSD Program.

17Foreign Air Operator Surveillance Database

E. General - Categories of findings

Categories of findings (cont.)The action to be taken by the inspector will depend on the seriousness of the safety findings. Accordingly, APAC RO has defined following actions: For Category 1 (Cat1):

Action 1: Inform the pilot-in-command (PIC);For Category 2 (Cat2): Action 2: Letter to inform the CAA of the State of the operator

and/or the State of registry; cc: operator’s managementFor Category 3 (Cat3): Actions:

3a: Restrict flight operations of the aircraft;3b: Take pre-flight corrective action; 3c: Ground the aircraft or withdraw the operations permit.
