1. Introduction
1.1. Objective
This guide contains a description of the applicable regulatory framework in the
Republic of Mozambique for the certification of aerodrome. In order to ensure that the
regulatory framework is uniformly implemented, this Guide also contains the
applicable procedures for the processing of the application for certification,
cancellation, transfer or surrender by an aerodrome operator. For completeness, the
Guide also contains procedure to be followed when an aerodrome certificate is to be
suspended or cancelled as part of the enforcement procedure that IACM applies.
The objective of this guide is to make sure that the Aerodrome Certification process
is uniformly understood by all those involved in the process, i.e. Aerodrome operator
staff and the Instituto de Aviao Civil de Moambique staff as well.
Page 9 of 84
Page 10 of 84
Article 15 of the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation requires that all
aerodromes open to public use under the jurisdiction of a Contracting State 1 should
provide uniform conditions for the aircraft of all other Contracting States. These
uniform conditions also apply to all aircraft from any contracting States using
Aerodrome installations and services, including radio electric and meteorological
services, set up for public use and for the safety, regularity and efficiency of air
navigation.
Furthermore, Articles 28 and 37 oblige each State to provide, in its territory,
Aerodromes and other air navigation facilities and services in accordance with the
Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) developed by ICAO. Volume I of
Annex 14 to the Convention contains SARPs on the subject of Aerodrome design and
operation. Responsibility for ensuring safety, regularity and efficiency of aircraft
operations at aerodromes under their respective jurisdictions rests with individual
States. It is therefore essential that whenever the operation of Aerodromes is
delegated to an operator, the State retain its overseeing responsibility and ensure that
the operator complies with the relevant ICAO SARPs and/or applicable national
regulations.
The most effective and transparent means of achieving these objectives are to:
1) Establish a separate safety oversight entity and a well-defined safety oversight
mechanism, supported by appropriate legislation, to carry out the functions of
certification and safety regulation of aerodromes;
2) Implement an Aerodrome certification procedure whereby a State certifies an
Aerodrome through the approval/acceptance of the Aerodrome Manual
submitted by the Aerodrome operator.
Articles 1.4.1, 1.4.3, 1.4.4, below are from Volume I, Annex 14. They establish the
requirements vis--vis the Aerodrome certification and the establishment of a Safety
1
Everywhere in this guide, the term State means the fundamental authority who establishes a Civil Aviation
Authority. This Civil Aviation Authority having jurisdiction over civil aviation matters within the framework of the
national legislation.

1. After the Aerodrome Operator has expressed desire to be certified and for the
launching of the certification process, the IACM should call a general meeting
with the Aerodrome Operator during which the certification process
requirements will be explained and some useful information regarding
requirements will be communicated to the applicants.
2. The applicants will then complete the Aerodrome Manual according to the
approved procedures and template. The applicants can then proceed with the
formal application demand by submitting their requests on the appropriate form.
The complete file is to be submitted to the IACM in three (3) hard copies and
three
(3)
electronic
copies.
1. Upon receipt of the file, the IACM will make administrative checks to make sure
that the file for Aerodrome certification is complete and acceptable.
2. IACM will review the Aerodrome Manual. At this stage the acceptance or
refusal of the Aerodrome Manual will be considered from an administrative point
of
view
only.
3. If the file is complete and accepted, the IACM will inform, in writing, the applicant
and will ask him to be prepared for the inspection certification.
4. Should the file be incomplete, the IACM will inform the applicant what additional
information is required or which areas of the file needs modifications before
proceeding with the process. Upon correction, the file shall be resubmitted to
the IACM in the same conditions as described above.
After having made proper arrangements with the applicant, the IACM will organize and
will proceed with the safety certification inspection at the aerodrome site. Prior to
completion of the safety inspection and departure from site, IACM will call a meeting
with the Aerodrome Operator (or a Representative) to outline the result of the
inspection and to receive comments from the aerodrome operator if any. The IACM
will then produce an inspection report listing, the items that do meet and those that do
not meet the established requirements as per standards. The report is to be sent to
the applicant in three (3) paper copies and an electronic format as well.
Page 15 of 84
Upon receipt of the report, the applicant must submit a Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
outlining a programme for implementation of tasks and activities to correct the
observations and assure compliance of standards. The detailed Corrective Action Plan
shall be submitted to the IACM in three (3) copies (paper and electronic versions), no
later than thirty (30) working days after the reception of the IACM report.
Not later than 14 days of receipt of the CAP and after review and acceptance of the
CAP, the IACM shall communicate in writing to the Aerodrome Operator indicating
intention to monitor implementation of the CAP activities,
Once the corrective measures have been applied, the applicant shall inform the IACM.
The IACM will then decide if another Aerodrome inspection is required. If corrective
actions are found to be inappropriate, the IACM will notify the applicant, in writing,
accordingly.
3.2.4. Phase 4: Issuance or refusal
When all above-mentioned steps have been satisfactorily completed, the IACM will
issue the Aerodrome Certificate to the applicant (certificate holder). IACM may decide
to issue specific conditions under wich the certificate has been issued. If on the other
hand IACM determines that the specific national standards for certification have not
yet been met, the Aerodrome Operator will be informed accordingly giving reasons for
refusal of the certificate.
IACM will take necessary actions to publish the information about the certified
Aerodrome(s) in the AIP. This will include the exemptions and any special conditions
related to the operation of the Aerodrome.
