A Ramp Inspection is the most used method by the States to comply with their obligations regarding commercial air transport operations by foreign Operators. Also, Ramp Inspections are usually integrated in the internal continuing oversight of the States’ Operators.
It is very useful for both, CAA and Operators, to correctly manage this programme: Authorities to comply with ICAO Doc 8335 and Operators to handle the Inspections performed by Authorities.
