ICAO ANNEX 6 PART 1 AMENDMENT 27 SECURITY NPA

INTRODUCTION:
The Chief Executive requires the OPS Director to issue at the earliest opportunity
an NPA OPS covering the Annex 6 Part 1 security amendment 27.
Whilst recognising the urgency of the matter, the OPS Director, before sending
the NPA, discussed with the OPS DIV Security Consultant (ex. CAA Chief
Inspector) the process to be followed.
The OPS Director decided, in front of the questions raised by this amendment, to
go through the regular OST NPA process.
In order to be able to deliver an NPA for the October JAAC meeting, the following
process, focusing on the areas of discussion is proposed.
The OST members are invited to prepare their proposals / comments for the
Berlin meeting, so as the OST is able to elaborate a mature NPA to meet the
October deadline.
