- Government Safety Inspector Operations — Air Cargo Certification

Home Based

The Organizational Setting

ICAO’s Capacity Development and Implementation Programme provides advice and assistance in the development and implementation of projects across the full spectrum of civil aviation aimed at the safety, security, environmental protection, and sustainable development of national and international civil aviation.

The Air Navigation Bureau (ANB) is responsible for developing and updating the majority of Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) related to air cargo certification, which are contained within Annex 6 – Operation of Aircraft, Annex 8 – Airworthiness of Aircraft, Annex 17 – Security (managed by the Air Transport Bureau), Annex 18 – The Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air, and Annex 19 – Safety Management.

Within ANB, the Operational Safety, Cargo Safety, and Safety Management Sections manage, and support Panels of the Air Navigation Commission and expert groups related to cargo safety.

To provide technical assistance to States in the certification and safety oversight of air cargo operations to effectively implement relevant Annexes, ICAO has developed the Implementation Pack (iPack) delivery model. iPacks include all necessary components for achieving their goal, including ICAO documents, standardized training courses, tools, a dedicated subject matter expert working either remotely or on‑site with the national iPack team.

For purposes of this job description, the national ICAO Government Safety Inspector Operations — Air Cargo Certification (ACC) iPack team is comprised of representatives from the Civil Aviation Authority, i.e. aviation safety inspectors tasked with the certification of air cargo operations. These team members are charged with air cargo certification and oversight tasks during and after the ICAO SME assignment period.
