ADR.AR.A.040(b) GM1 Safety directives
FORWARDING OF SAFETY DIRECTIVES
The safety directives that should be forwarded to the CAA under ADR.AR.A.040 include, but are not
limited to, cases like the following ones, where the CAA has determined:
(a) that it is necessary to include additional certification specifications in the certification basis
of an aerodrome;
(b) that aerodrome equipment has presented unusual, or frequent, or otherwise unjustified
malfunctions or failures;
(c) that the certification specifications established by the CAA are such that under given
conditions additional action is required to be undertaken in order to maintain the level of
safety;
(d) that there is immediate need to take certain action in order to respond to a safety
recommendation or following an accident or serious incident; or
(e) that this or a similar unsafe condition may be present at other aerodromes .
The CAA may issue directives (which may be called operational directives, or otherwise) during its
oversight activities, such as an instruction to the aerodrome operator to abstain from a certain activity,
or a positive action (e.g. cutting of trees which are found to penetrate the OLS, or the removal of
certain object from the aerodrome etc.) needed to maintain the level of safety.
