                                      GENERAL
                                          (a)  The CAA should assess the aerodrome operator, and monitor its continued competence to
                                             conduct safe operations in compliance with the applicable requirements and the
                                             certification basis. Similarly, the CAA should monitor the continued competence of
                                             providers of apron management services. The CAA should ensure that accountability for
                                             assessing and monitoring aerodrome operators, as well as providers of apron
                                             management services, is clearly defined. This accountability may be delegated or shared,
                                             in whole or in part.
                                          (b)  It is essential that the CAA has the full capability to adequately assess the continued
