## Inspection and the Powers of Inspectors

Inspection of civil aviation activity is carried out by the flight safety inspector and by the inspector acting under the international programme founded on the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation. The inspector is independent in his activity and acts on the basis of Georgian legislation, international treaties and agreements of Georgia. He is entitled, at any time and without hindrance, to enter aviation enterprises and the buildings in their possession whose functioning is directed at flight safety and aviation security, to enter aircraft registered in the state registry and those operating on the territory of Georgia, to demand any document and information connected with flight safety, operation and technical maintenance, to check procedures and technical equipment, and to speak with any person for the purpose of assessment.

The persons and entities that are objects of inspection are obliged to assist the inspector in the performance of his duties and to submit any document and information relating to flight safety, the operation and technical maintenance of aircraft and aviation security. Where a deficiency discovered during inspection threatens flight safety or the security of civil aviation, the inspector is entitled to suspend the flight of the aircraft and to suspend, for any person, the further exercise of rights conferred by a certificate or other aviation document. The agency ensures the functional independence of inspectors in the inspection process and may refrain from publishing information obtained during supervision where publication could negatively affect flight safety or aviation security, in accordance with the corresponding annex of the Chicago Convention.

### Who carries out inspection?

The flight safety inspector and the inspector of the international programme based on the 1944 Chicago Convention. They are independent, may enter enterprises and aircraft and demand any document.

### What is the aviation security programme?

A set of rules and measures aimed at raising the level of flight safety in the country; it is approved by the government. The general rules of the safety management system are approved by the agency.

### How is an act of the agency appealed?

Only in court. Filing a claim suspends the operation of the act, except where the act was issued on the basis of a violation dangerous to safety.

### What requirements attach to certificates?

Certificates and their conditions must be operative: uncertified work and breach of conditions provoke the agency’s response — from suspension to annulment — and the decision is subject to appeal.
