AMC2 ARO.GEN.305(b)(1) Oversight programme
CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1
(a) When conducting a ramp inspection of aircraft used by organisations under its regulatory oversight, the CAA should, as far as possible, comply with the requirements defined in ARO.RAMP.
(b) When conducting ramp inspections on other-than-suspected aircraft, the CAA should take into account the following elements:
(1) repeated inspections should be avoided of those organisations for which previous inspections have not revealed safety deficiencies;
(2) the oversight programme should enable the widest possible sampling rate of aircraft flying into their territory; and
(3) there should be no discrimination on the basis of the organisation’s nationality, the type of operation or type of aircraft, unless such criteria can be linked to an increased risk.
(c) For aircraft other than those used by organisations under its regulatory oversight, when conducting a risk assessment, the CAA should consider aircraft that have not been ramp inspected for more than 6 months.
