Apologies to the local PPRuNers for aviation and regulatory content...
I see in today's press, that the HK Government has appointed a Chief Inspector for the AAIA, independent of HK CAD.
The responsible Government Department is Transport and Housing Bureau (Transport Branch).
ICAO recommends:
Such agencies must be wholly independent of the regulatory entities and aviation service providers so as to be able to examine the possibility of shortcomings in State Safety Regulations or State Safety Programmes (https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/State_Safety_Programme). An example of such an agency which covers only aviation is the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch (https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/AAIB)(AAIB) and an example of a multimodal agency which includes aviation investigation is the National Transportation Safety Board (https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/NTSB) (NTSB) in the USA.
Any comments?
