involved in Aerodrome Licensing.
September 2006
FOREWORD
DGCA has the responsibility of licensing the aerodromes in India in accordance

with the Rule 78, Section XI of Aircraft Rules 1937.
The licensing process requires the assessment of the formal application, review
of the aerodrome manual, and assessment of the aerodrome facilities,
equipments and operating procedures of the aerodrome operator. There is a
need for onsite audit to carry out test on aerodrome facilities, services, equipment
and verify aerodrome operator’s safety management system before issue of
license by officials of this office.
Officials involved in the licensing process need standard procedures for their
guidance for uniform application and transparency. To achieve this objective the
Manual of Aerodrome Licensing Procedures is issued.
It is expected that all officials, involved in aerodrome licensing process shall

follow this manual.
