Support to the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine (SAAU) in Reinforcing its Competencies in Air Operations (OPS) and Flight Crew Licensing (FCL)

Project Description
Strengthening the Aviation Framework and European Regulations for Ukraine (SAFER-U)

This project will harmonise Ukraine’s aviation regulatory framework with EU standards and lay the foundation for a safe, efficient and secure air transport system. SAFER-U will help to upgrade the safety regulations in Air Operations and Flight Crew Licencing. All Ukrainian registered airlines, training organisations and flight crew will be required to comply with the new standards. The project’s experts will train the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine staff and industry throughout the project to build knowledge, competencies and awareness of EU-based rules and practices.

Specific Objective
The overall objective of this project is to support the sustainable development of civil aviation and the civil aviation administration system, harmonise regulations and working practices to comply with the requirements of the EU norms and standards in the field of aviation safety (OPS&FCL).

The project has to facilitate preparation for the implementation of the respective provisions stemming from the CAA Agreement between the EU and Ukraine, the Working Arrangement (WA) between the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine (SAAU) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

The purposes of this project are:

To provide legal support to the SAAU to set up a solid legal ground for effective implementation of the relevant EU aviation regulations (EU standard, regulatory and procedural requirements) in Ukraine;

In synergy with other on-going EU funded projects, to reinforce the SAAU structural institutional oversight capacity, specifically in the area of OPS&FCL;

To reinforce cooperation with air operators and other relevant partners in the domain of OPS&FCL in line with EU standards.

Expected Results
The results to be achieved are:

Priority relevant EU legislation, covered by the CAA Agreement, is transposed into Ukrainian legislation; the implementing regulations for the relevant OPS&FCL legislation are developed and implemented;

The internal procedures, handbooks, checklists and guidance materials for the relevant Aviation Rules of Ukraine (ARU) are developed and ready for the SAAU approval;

Institutional oversight capacity of the SAAU is strengthened and upgraded through appropriate measures (e.g. training, on-the job training, etc.);

Cooperation with air operators is reinforced through some joint activities proposed by the project also for the industry; relevant information and knowledge are exchanged/ shared.
