CAA
Text
Examine the CAA auditing process and determine if it needs to be enhanced by periodically, or with reasonable justification, requiring general aviation document holders involved in air transport operations to demonstrate, to the auditors, how in practice they follow, and maintain, an appropriate safety management system.

I will adopt [this safety recommendation] with the note that the CAA constantly reviews the adequacy of all its processes. In this sphere of activities the CAA has already initiated changes to the scope and content of its audit process to cover the more integrated and quality system features that will be required of operators when they become certified under Part 119. To that extent, the actions to implement the recommendation have already been taken.
