What is the EU Ramp Inspections Programme ?
The EU Ramp Inspection Programme is a European Programme regarding the performance of

ramp inspections on aircraft used by third country operators (SAFA) or used by operators under
the regulatory oversight of another EU Member State (SACA).
The Programme is regulated by Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 and it provides for the
inspection of aircraft suspected (based on e.g. safety relevant information collected by the
Participating States or on regular analysis of the centralised database performed by EASA) of non-
compliance with the applicable requirements (either international safety standards or EU
standards). Ramp inspections may also be carried out in the absence of any suspicion, in this case
a spot-check procedure is being used.
The applicable legal framework of the Programme contains the following:
1. Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 of 5 October 2012;

2. Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) to Part-ARO,
consolidated version, issue 3, 28 July 2014; and

15.03.2016 Ramp Inspection Programmes (SAFA/SACA) | EASA
INST.RI.01/002 approved on 18 November 2015.
The EU Ramp Inspection Programme has replaced the EU SAFA Programme and has two major
components:
a. SAFA ramp inspections (for third country operators); and

b. SACA ramp inspections (for community operators – checked against EU standards).
In each Participating State, aircraft of operators under the safety oversight of another Member
State or of a third country can be subject to a ramp inspection, chiefly concerned with the aircraft
documents and manuals, flight crew licenses, the apparent condition of the aircraft and the
presence and condition of mandatory cabin safety equipment. The applicable requirements for
these inspections are:
i. The ICAO international standards for aircraft used by third country operators;
ii. The relevant EU requirements for aircraft used by operators under the regulatory
oversight of another Member State;
iii. Manufacturers’ standards when checking the technical condition of the aircraft; and
iv. Published national standards (e.g. Aeronautical Information Publications (AIPs)) that are
declared applicable to all operators flying to that State.
These checks are carried out in accordance with a procedure which is common to all the
Participating States. Their outcome is then subject to reports which also follow a common format.
In case of significant irregularities, the operator and the appropriate Aviation Authority (State of
Operator or State of Registry) are contacted in order to arrive at corrective measures to be taken
not only with regard to the aircraft inspected, but also with regard to other aircraft which could be
concerned in the case of an irregularity which is of a generic nature. All data from the reports as
well as supplementary information are shared and centralised in a computerised database set up
and managed by EASA.
The main features of the EU Ramp Inspection Programme can be summarised as follows:
its application by all Participating States – notably all ECAC States (EU Member States, non-EU
ECAC States as well as non-EU States that have signed the EASA Working Arrangements);
the broad dissemination of inspection results through a centralised database;
its bottom-up approach: the programme is built around ramp inspections of aircraft;
non-discriminatory approach: obligation for the participating EU Member States, that in
addition to third country aircraft, to inspect EU aircraft as well, on the basis of the EU
requirements;
The 47 Participating States engaged in the EU Ramp Inspections Programme are: Albania,
Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Republic of Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab
Emirates and United Kingdom.
However, ramp inspections are limited to on-the-spot assessments and cannot substitute for
proper regulatory oversight, thus, they cannot guarantee the airworthiness of a particular aircraft.
Where irregularities have an immediate impact on safety, inspectors can demand corrective
actions before they allow the aircraft to leave.
Stakeholders
The European Commission and Participating States are informed of any potentially safety
hazards identified. They come together with EASA and Eurocontrol regularly in the Air Safety
Committee meetings (ASC) and the Ramp Inspections Coordination and Standardisation (RICS)
meetings. As of 2010, EASA is also organising yearly the Industry & Regulators Forum in Cologne,
whereby states and aviation industry representatives meet to discuss issues of common interest
in the ramp inspections area.
EASA’s role in the EU Ramp Inspections Programme
EASA is responsible for coordinating the RAMP inspections programme. The specific role and
responsibilities of EASA in the EU Ramp Inspections Programme are:
to collect by means of a centralised database the inspection reports of the Participating

States engaged in the EU Ramp Inspections Programme;
to develop, maintain and continuously update the centralised database;
to provide necessary changes and enhancements to the database application;
analyse all relevant information concerning the safety of aircraft and its operators;
to report potential aviation safety problems to European Commission and all the
Participating States;
to advise the European Commission and all the Participating States on follow-up actions;
to propose coordinated actions to the Commission and to the competent authorities, when
necessary on safety grounds, and ensure coordination at the technical level of such actions;
to liaise with other European institutions and bodies, international organisations and third
country competent authorities on information exchange.
How are ramp inspections performed ?
Authorised inspectors are using a checklist with 53 inspection items during ramp checks. The
checks may include pilots licenses, procedures and manuals carried in the cockpit, compliance
with these procedures by flight and cabin crew, safety equipment in cockpit and cabin, cargo
carried in the aircraft and the technical condition of the aircraft. As the time between arrival and
departure (the turn-around time) may not be sufficient to go through the full checklist, not all 53
items may be inspected. It is the Programme policy not to delay an aircraft except for safety
reasons. Some oversight authorities of the Participating States engaged in the EU Ramp
Inspections Programme carry out random inspections while others try to target aircraft or airlines
that they suspect may not comply with the applicable standards.
The absolute number of inspection findings represents an important outcome of the inspecting
process which provides valuable information on the subject aircraft or its responsible operator.
On the other hand, this needs to be carefully taking into account in relation with the “severity” of
the findings. To this end, three categories of findings have been defined. A “Category 1” finding is
called a minor finding; “Category 2” is a significant finding and “Category 3” a major finding. The
terms “minor”, “significant” and “major” relate to the level of influence on safety. The prime
purpose of categorising the findings is to classify the compliance with a standard and the severity
of non-compliance with this standard.
The inspections and the categories of findings are recorded in the centralised database.
When considering the findings established during a ramp inspection, Category 2 (significant) and
Category 3 (major) findings require the highest attention when it comes to the need for
rectification. Based on the category, number and nature of the findings, several actions may be
taken.
If the findings indicate that the safety of the aircraft and its occupants is impaired, corrective
actions will be required. Normally the aircraft captain will be asked to address the serious
deficiencies which are brought to his attention. In rare cases, where inspectors have reason to
believe that the aircraft captain does not intend to take the necessary measures on the
deficiencies reported to him, they will formally ground the aircraft. The formal act of grounding by
the State of Inspection means that the aircraft is prohibited from resuming its flights until
appropriate corrective measures are taken.
Another type of action is called “corrective actions before flight authorised”. Before the aircraft is
allowed to resume its flight, corrective action is required to rectify any deficiencies which have
been identified.
In other cases, the aircraft may depart under operational restrictions. An example of such a
restriction would be the case where there is a deficiency regarding passenger seats. Operation of
the aircraft is possible under the condition that the deficient seats are not occupied by any
passengers.
It is standard practice that the captain of the aircraft which has just been inspected is debriefed
about the findings. In addition, Category 2 and Category 3 findings are communicated to the
responsible Aviation Authority for information and to the home base of the operator with the
request to take appropriate action to prevent reoccurrence.
In order to achieve best the objectives of the EU Ramp Inspections Programme, close cooperation
with the Aviation Authorities of all those States whose operators and aircraft have been subject of
ramp inspections is imperative. As part of their responsibility regarding the safety oversight of
their national operators according to the relevant international safety standards, these Aviation
Authorities are requested to ensure proper implementation of corrective actions in order to
address the reported findings.
In some cases, when the findings on an aircraft are considered important, individual Participating
States may decide to revoke the entry permit of that aircraft. This means that the particular

character.
As regards such bans and their subsequent lifting, those Participating States which belong also to
the European Union shall be acting in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC)
No 2111/2005 on the establishment of a Community list of air carriers subject to an operating
ban within the Union.
Pursuant to the requirement set forth by the Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012, the
Participating States are also including the centralised database information on their follow-up
actions. This information allows assessing the ability and willingness of operators to rectify the
findings identified during ramp inspections and it used in the subsequent analyses of the
generated data.
Centralised database
The backbone of the EU Ramp Inspection Programme is the centralised database, which is
managed and maintained by EASA, in Cologne, Germany. The inclusion of reports in the database
remains a responsibility of the individual Aviation Authorities of the Participating States.
Data contained in the database is confidential and therefore shared only with other Participating
States and not available to the general public. The database can be accessed by all Aviation
Authorities of the Participating States via the (secured) internet. At present, all Aviation
Authorities are connected on-line to the database. In addition, read-only access is provided to the
European Commission and ICAO.
EASA is performing regular analysis of the centralised database. The regular analysis is conducted
every 3-4 months, with the aim at identifying safety concerns and worrying trends which should
be addressed before they become a threat to the safety of international aviation. Since
September 2011, Operators and their Aviation Authorities (NAAs) can register online
(https://safa.easa.europa.eu/user/selfregister) to that database; obviously, the access is
limited to ramp inspection reports on their own aircraft. Since the user management is delegated
to the local Aviation Authorities, these authorities need to have obtained access to the database
before the operators can register themselves. Once the operator and/or the NAA has access, any
follow-up information on the inspection can be uploaded to the database; this lowers the burden
of the administrative workload considerably. Details on the registration process can be found in
the FAQ document available at the login page (https://safa.easa.europa.eu/site/login) of
the SAFA database (https://safa.easa.europa.eu/site/login). Any questions related to the
database access should be addressed to the local authorities; the contact details for the
centralised database coordinators within those Aviation Authorities having access to the database
can be found in the download section of this page.
National Coordinators
National coordinators have been appointed by the competent authorities of all the Participating
States. The main role of a national coordinator is to ensure the day-today coordination of the
programme at national level in order to facilitate the appropriate implementation of the
programme.
The specific tasks of a national coordinator should include the following:
entering ramp inspection reports into the centralised database;

prioritising ramp inspections in accordance with the applicable provisions;
nominating national representatives for the ramp inspection working groups;
acting as a focal point for the training schedules (initial and recurrent training) for all involved
national ramp inspection staff;
ensuring that all staff involved in ramp inspections are properly trained and scheduled for
recurrent training;
representing the Member State at the meetings of the Ramp Inspections Coordination and
Standardisation group (RICS) on ramp inspections;
promoting and implementing the inspector exchange programme;
providing support in handling requests for disclosure of data;

ensuring distribution of new legislation and latest versions of procedures to ramp inspection
staff;
organising regular meetings with all ramp inspection staff to maintain a high quality
standard;
implementing a national ramp inspection quality control system;
managing the access of national operators and the competent authority’s staff to the
centralised database;
act as a sectorial focal point in the domain of ramp inspections in the context of
standardisation activities performed by the Agency;
proposing appropriate team members for ramp inspection standardisation visits;
provide information to the Agency, the Commission and the Member States on contacts with
authorities and operators.
Historical overview and aggregated reports
Historical overview
The SAFA Programme was initially launched by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) in
1996. The Programme was not based upon a European legal binding basis, but upon a
commitment of the Directors General of the participating ECAC Member States. The scope of the
inspections performed on ‘foreign’ aircraft involved those aircraft which were not used or
operated under the control of the inspecting competent authority.
On 30 April 2004, the Directive 2004/36/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council on the
safety of third-country aircraft using Community airports (the so-called 'SAFA Directive') was
published, creating a legal obligation upon EU Member States to perform ramp inspections on
third country aircraft landing at their airports, where ‘third country aircraft’ implied aircraft not
used or operated under control of a competent authority of an EU Member State. Nevertheless,
the Directive didn’t prohibit in any way EU Member States from inspecting aircraft from other EU
Member States. EU Member States were provided with a transition period of two years for
transposing and implementing the above mentioned Directive.
Until 2006, the operational elements of the SAFA Programme were implemented by the Central
Joint Aviation Authorities (CJAA). At the end of 2006, the SAFA coordination activities, including the
centralised database, have been transferred from CJAA to EASA.
As of 1 January 2007, following a decision by the Directors General of ECAC Member States, the
SAFA Programme was transferred under European Community (EC) competence and the
responsibility for the management and further development of the EU SAFA Programme falls
upon the European Commission assisted by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
The continued participation of the 15 non-EU ECAC Member States, and thus the pan-European
dimension of the programme, has been assured through the signature of Working Arrangements
between each of these individual States and EASA.
In the last 4 years, similar Working Arrangements have been signed with several non-European
States (Morocco, United Arab Emirates, Canada, Singapore and Israel) and a further non-EU ECAC
Member State (Montenegro).
On 28 October 2012, the Implementing Rules on Air Operations entered into force as the new
legal basis for the EU ramp inspection programme, replacing the original system established by
the SAFA Directive and its implementing regulations with a new system represented by the new
EU Ramp Inspections Programme.
Aggregated Reports
The Commission Regulation (EC) No 965/2012 puts an obligation on EASA to prepare for the
Commission on a yearly basis a proposal for a public aggregated information report regarding the
information collected from the SAFA Participating States. The aggregated report is published by
EASA in the English language.
