AVIATION ADMINISTRATION OF KAZAKHSTAN - 5 YEARS The Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan (AAK), the authorized governmental agency which control and oversees Kazakhstan’s aviation industry in the fields of flight safety and aviation security, celebrates its five years anniversary. AAK's activities are focused on the European model of civil aviation regulation, which is one of the most advanced and effective methods in the world, fully complying with International Civil Aviation Organization regulations and recommended practices. Over the course of five years, the AAK developed proposed revisions to the basic legislation of civil aviation, as well as more than 100 draft laws and regulations, and worked with the authorized authority to implement the changes. This huge effort has enabled the implementation of new standards, ICAO recommended procedures, and international best practices, as well as the increase in transparency and integrity. In 2021, an ICAO validation mission was completed, raising the flight safety assurance level to 84%, 15% higher than the global average. Over the last two years, Kazakhstan has worked closely with the European Commission to improve its flight safety level. As a result of the technical visit of experts from the European Commission, the EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and the aviation authorities of the European Union members, as well as the results of the European Commission's Air Safety Committee meeting in May of this year, Kazakhstan came out from enhanced flight safety monitoring. This implies Kazakhstani airlines have no limitations on flights to Europe. Seven out of nineteenth recognized airlines have authority to travel to Europe. Since 2019, the AAK has executed over 28 thousand public services, with more than 99% delivered on schedule. During the preceding time, aviation security inspectors performed 358 inspections and delivered almost 10,000 state services, including the issue of crew member certificates and the certification of airport aviation security services. More than 4,000 procedures were completed to permit inspectors from the aviation security inspection unit to work. Over a five-year period, 768 airworthiness certificates were issued. Over the course of five years, AAK inspectors conducted inspections and certifications in the field of flight operation, providing 41 air operator certificates and 24 aerial work certificates. In the field of licensing for five years, AAK has provided more than 15000state services for issuing certificates to aviation personnel and certification of aviation training centers. Kazakhstan was the first CIS country to announce 100% implementation of the Global Runway Surface Condition Reporting Format (GRF) standards. This document is an important ICAO provision aimed at reducing the risks associated with aircraft rollout. Read more: https://lnkd.in/d6ci6Gaq
