(Jakarta, 8th) The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation has confirmed it is thoroughly prepared for the 2025 'Global Aviation Safety Oversight Audit Programme' (USOAP) conducted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Rizal, Director of Aviation Navigation at the Directorate General of Air Transport, stated during an interview in Jakarta on Thursday (May 8) that ICAO USOAP is an international audit focused on civil aviation safety, covering the aviation regulatory systems of all member states.
To enhance Indonesia's preparedness for the audit, the Directorate General of Air Transport held a five-day USOAP audit preparation workshop in Jakarta from May 5 to 9. This event was organized in collaboration with the French Civil Aviation Directorate (DGAC) and aimed to improve the skills of internal auditors and auditees from the Ministry of Transportation.
Rizal pointed out that Bureau Veritas, an expert agency appointed by the French Civil Aviation Directorate, was invited as a lecturer to provide professional assistance to the Indonesian audit team.
Speaking on behalf of Lukman, the Director General of Air Transport at the Ministry, he emphasized that this workshop is crucial for Indonesia to successfully pass the ICAO audit, helping to identify potential weaknesses and strengthen the national civil aviation safety regulatory system.
The internal audit will use the 2024 version of the ICAO USOAP questionnaire, utilizing simulated audit methods to enhance Indonesia's understanding and improvement capabilities across eight key regulatory areas. These eight areas include: Legislation (LEG), Organization and Management (ORG), Personnel Licensing (PEL), Flight Operations (OPS), Airworthiness (AIR), Accident Investigation (AIG), Navigation Services (ANS), and Airports and Ground Facilities (AGA).
The training content includes basic audit skills, audit planning and execution, audit reporting and deficiency analysis, and the formulation of improvement suggestions, with the aim of enhancing participants' professional abilities and practical operational levels.
The internal auditors participating in this training come from several key units, including the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT), the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), and the Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG).
Rizal stated: "Through this workshop, we hope to enhance the professional capabilities of auditors, ensure more effective execution of internal audits, and further increase compliance with ICAO standards and procedures."
