Is there any other country in the world that have garnered the 3 shameful awards in the aviation community?<br /><br />The EU blacklisting was based on the ICAO safety significant concerns which is just 2 items on the 88 or 89 findings by the ICAO. When the EU assessed CAAP last October they noted a lot of findings which just confirmed the ICAO safety concerns. I think the EU visit was premature as CAAP have not yet put in place the correction to the ICAO safety concerns or they think they have but unfortunately they were wrong, and so it means they lack the technical know-how. Why CAAP requested for the EU assessment before the ICAO is a big question as logically it should be the ICAO first and then EU after as the ICAO finding was the source reason why the Blacklisting. Now with the EU findings which just validated the same ICAO findings,do you think the ICAO will come and visit CAAP with just more than a month after the EU assessment? The ICAO postponement of the validation mission was a tactical move and not because of the political on goings at CAAP. ICAO knows that CAAP is not yet ready as was validated by EU and it will just be a waste of time and resources on their side. CAAP needs to get its acts together as any premature assessment on them would just further delay the situation. CAAP should not cut corners in their wish to get away from the 3 shameful awards. CAAP need to have the right people from management down to the inspectors for the Philippines to be at far with the world aviation standards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
