ICAO aviation safety assessment is a system that evaluates whether the governments of 193 member countries around the world reflect international aviation safety standards in their domestic systems and properly implement them in the field.
This evaluation will be conducted from the 2nd to the 15th of next month. The ICAO evaluation team, along with related organizations such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Korea Meteorological Administration, National Fire Agency, Coast Guard, and Regional Aviation Administration, visit airports and airlines to review related documents and confirm the implementation status on site.
The evaluation targets are a total of 9 areas, including laws, organization, employee qualifications, operations, airworthiness (performance and condition suitable for aircraft to fly safely), accident investigation, navigation, airport, and preventive safety management.
The government has operated a government-wide response team led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and 21 organizations including the Ministry of National Defense, the Meteorological Administration, the National Fire Agency, the Korea Coast Guard, and the Airport Corporation to self-verify domestic standards and revise related laws such as the Aviation Safety Act and the Airport Facilities Act, which were insufficient compared to international standards.
In addition, in order to separate the safety supervision function from airport construction and operation work, a plan is being promoted to establish a new dedicated organization at the headquarters of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Regional Aviation Administration. The airport take-off, landing and approach control duties previously handled by the Regional Aviation Administration are scheduled to be transferred to the Air Traffic Headquarters.
The government plans to convert the existing government-wide joint response team into a joint inspection and inspection task force, and will conduct a final inspection of the implementation of international standards in each field and supplement any deficiencies before the evaluation.
