Elaborating, Implementing and Monitoring a roadmap for the closure of the findings of ICAO USOAP audit in 2006
Further to the ICAO Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) comprising regular, mandatory, systematic and harmonized safety audits of all contracting States accomplished including Sudan, different types of findings were audited related to all safety-related areas.
For Sudan Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA), the ICAO findings came under several elements (aviation legislation, operating regulations, personnel training, etc.).
Therefore, there was in need for elaborating different roadmaps and corrective actions for all findings closure.
