FAA sets Thailand set 26 tasks to reach Category I standard
The FAA has set Thailand 26 items that need rectification before its safety rating can be upgraded to Category I. The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand states that a 4-person team from the FAA conducted an audit of its oversight systems between Feb 11-15 that identified the deficiencies, but gave no specific details. After the items have been rectified, the CAAT says it can then ask for a new audit, and that if passed, it will be upgraded to Category I status. Thailand’s aviation regulatory systems have been under scrutiny since an ICAO audit in early 2015 identified a number of “red flags” over the then-Department of Civil Aviation’s oversight and air operator certificate awarding process. That led to some Thai carriers being barred from starting services to China, South Korea and Japan. <br/>
