European Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Incursions(40)

Executing the inspection
1. Opening meeting with the provider’s management.
The purpose of the opening meeting is to:

a) Introduce the members of the inspection team.
b) Become acquainted with the people who have the major safety accountabilities.
c) Review the scope and objective of the inspection.
d) Provide a short summary of the methods and procedures to be used to conduct the inspection.
e) Establish the official communication links between the inspection team and the provider organisation.
f) Confirm that the resources and facilities needed by the inspection team are available.
g) Confirm the time and place for the closing meeting and any interim meetings of the inspection team and the senior

management of the aerodrome. h) Clarify any unclear details of the inspection plan.
2. Examination
Fact finding
Factual information should be collected through interviews, examination of documents and records and observations of activities and conditions of infrastructure in the areas of concern. Clues suggesting non-conformities should be noted if they seem significant, even though not covered by the scope of the inspection, and should be investigated. Information gathered through interviews should be tested by acquiring the same information from other independent sources, such as additional interviews, physical observations, measurements and records.

During the inspection the lead inspector has to organise periodical meetings with the team members to evaluate the interim results.
Based on this information the lead inspector may make changes to the inspectors’ work assignments, and to the inspection plan if this
is necessary to ensure the optimal achievement of the inspection objectives.
If the inspection objectives appear to become unattainable, the lead inspector should report the reason to his superior and the provider’s
management.

Observations
All observations should be documented. When the fact finding phase is complete, the inspection team should review all of their observations to determine which are to be reported as non-conformities. The inspection team should ensure that these are documented in a clear, concise manner and are supported by evidence. Non-conformities should be identified in terms of the specific requirements of the standard or other related document against which the inspection has been conducted. Observations should be reviewed, analyzed and carefully formulated by the lead inspector. All relevant observations should be presented during the closing meeting with the provider’s management and should be acknowledged by the provider’s management.
Closing meeting with provider’s management
At the end of the inspection, prior to preparing the inspection report, the inspection team should hold a meeting with the provider’s
senior management and those responsible for the organisational elements concerned.
