  2. Aerodrome Certification • 14 Aerodrome SARPS are now the main reference • incorporated by reference in regulations • 16-Noise • 17-Security • associated manuals with Annexes

  3. Aerodrome Certification • Existing Act mentions Annexes • Old regulations dealt with control of aircraft access • Old licensing system controlled where aircraft could have access • Safety regulations require aircraft to land at licensed aerodromes (access control)

  4. Aerodrome Certification • In 1980 before control of aerodromes regulations there were 47 aerodromes in Jamaica • Today there are 15 left • There is demand to open more aerodromes • Act amendment is ready • New regulations have been prepared for certification

  5. Aerodrome Certification • EXISTING • 2 international airports • 4 public aerodromes • 9 private aerodromes • numerous helicopter alighting areas/pads • DEMAND from gliders, ultra-lights, improved access to parishes, redevelop abandoned WW-2 military aerodrome for cargo

  6. Glider and Ultralight aerodrome

  7. Aerodrome Certification • Established formal process • Pre-application • discussion with JCAA • JCAA provides guidelines and forms • applicant to obtain land use approvals • if applicant does not, JCAA informs land use authorities and invites applicant to discussion • land use authorities object: no certificate issued

  8. Aerodrome Certification • Application Process (60 days if possible) • forms submitted, inspector assigned • site inspection, results communicated • certificate issued if standards met, deviations approved, operations manual approved • Certificate valid for one year • Interim certificate if special circumstances • Procedures for certificate amendment, suspension and surrender

  9. Aerodrome Certification • Contingency Plans • bomb threat • hijack • fire • crash • Emergency Plans • hurricane • earthquake • flood • strike

  10. Aerodrome Certification • PROGRESS • 2 internationals have operations manuals • active inspection program in place • certification now a growth industry • training of aerodrome staff • MOU with ATC, Security forces, emergency health facilities, weather service, ANS

  17. Aerodrome Certification • NEW CHALLENGES • privatization • economic regulation of aerodromes • new large aircraft • enhanced security requirements • increasing environmental awareness • urbanization and encroachment

  18. Aerodrome Certification • CHALLENGES • terrain, building materials, equipment • drainage • environmental • access versus control • fleet changes • limited resources • standards changes
