Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 11 page paper with two sections. The first section discusses and explains the ICAO' resolution to establish a Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) and its subsequent Resolution A35-6, which changes the audits to a comprehensive system approach. The Annexes are identified and how they fit into the new audit process is discussed.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the "mandate to conduct regular, mandatory, systematic and harmonized safety audits of all Contracting States" (Editor, 2003). Over the next five years, USOAP conducted safety audits in 181 of the
member states plus five territories (Editor, 2003). They also conducted 120 follow-up audits (Editor, 2003). The purpose of the audits was to determine to what degree states had adopted an
implemented safety-related standards and recommended practices (SARPs) as established by the ICAO (Editor, 2003). A second purpose was to help states to identify and fix any safety deficits (Editor, 2003).
Initially, audits were conducted based on Annexes, e.g., different issues and factors. For example, Annex 1 is about licensing personnel, Annex 6 focuses on the operation of the plane, and
Annex 8 is about the airworthiness of the aircraft (Editor, 2003). Each year, certain issues or Annexes were identified to be audited (Editor, 2003). By 2004, it was obvious the
Annex system wasnt working well enough (Theil, 2005). It did not provide a comprehensive picture of safety (Civil Aviation Administration of China, 2006). It did raise awareness of the importance
of safety issues and the fact that states were responsible for these issues and it provided information regarding the implementation of SARPs in each nation, they were not being implemented
uniformly (Civil Aviation Administration of China, 2006). This approach did not provide an overall comprehensive picture of safety, though (International Civil Aviation Organization, Singapore, 2004). A systems approach was proposed
in 2004 that would incorporate all the Annexes but would be a more effective and less expensive process (International Civil Aviation Organization, Singapore, 2004). The comprehensive systems approach was established
through Assembly Resolution A35-6 in 2004 (Civil Aviation Administration of China, 2006; Theil, 2005). The new systems approach requires auditors to perform certain activities prior to the audit. They must
