1. Introduction
1.1. Objective
This guide contains a description of the applicable regulatory framework in the
Republic of Mozambique for the certification of aerodrome. In order to ensure that the
regulatory framework is uniformly implemented, this Guide also contains the
applicable procedures for the processing of the application for certification,
cancellation, transfer or surrender by an aerodrome operator. For completeness, the
Guide also contains procedure to be followed when an aerodrome certificate is to be
suspended or cancelled as part of the enforcement procedure that IACM applies.
The objective of this guide is to make sure that the Aerodrome Certification process
is uniformly understood by all those involved in the process, i.e. Aerodrome operator
staff and the Instituto de Aviao Civil de Moambique staff as well.
1.2. Definition of Aerodrome Certification

The Aerodrome certification is the issuance by the Instituto de Aviao Civil de
Moambique to an Aerodrome operator of a certificate in accordance with the MOZCARS 139.4.1 and MOZ-CATS 139.1.4. An Aerodrome Certificate is issued following
the Aerodrome Operator request to be certified, to its acceptance by the IACM, the
approval of the Aerodrome Manual, including the Safety Management System and the
successful certification inspection visit.
1.3. Requirements for Aerodrome Certification

In order to discharge their overall responsibility under the Civil Aviation Convention
(Convention of Chicago) the Republic of Mozambique has enacted the MOZ-CARS
139, the Primary Law, in which all aerodromes used for international operations shall
be certified. In addition the Republic of Mozamique has developed and published
Aerodrome Standards and Operational Requirements, MOZ-CATS 139, Volume I wich
specifies the standards that an aerodrome shall comply for eligibility for certification.
These are by and large consistent with the provisions in the ICAO Annex 14, Volume
I. The inclusion of a requirement for the certification of aerodromes in the Aerodrome
regulations of the Republic of Mozambique will ensure that Aerodrome operators meet
their obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Aerodrome
certificate. It also vests IACM, the regulatory authority, with the necessary powers to
enforce compliance of the regulations to fulfill its obligation for safety oversight in
accordance with the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation.
As safety, regularity and efficiency of air transportation in the Republic of Mozambique
is of paramount importance, the requirement for Aerodrome certification should apply
Page 9 of 84
equally to government departments operating State-owned aerodromes. Similarly,

aerodromes operated by entities such as Aerodrome authorities or corporations
owned totally or partially by a State and aerodromes owned and operated by provincial
governments, cities and municipalities are not exempt from Aerodrome certification
requirements.

2. Aerodrome Certification Law and Regulation Framework

2.1. The International Obligations
2.1.1. International Civil Aviation Convention
Article 15 of the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation requires that all
aerodromes open to public use under the jurisdiction of a Contracting State 1 should
provide uniform conditions for the aircraft of all other Contracting States. These
uniform conditions also apply to all aircraft from any contracting States using
Aerodrome installations and services, including radio electric and meteorological
services, set up for public use and for the safety, regularity and efficiency of air
navigation.
Furthermore, Articles 28 and 37 oblige each State to provide, in its territory,
Aerodromes and other air navigation facilities and services in accordance with the
Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) developed by ICAO. Volume I of
Annex 14 to the Convention contains SARPs on the subject of Aerodrome design and
operation. Responsibility for ensuring safety, regularity and efficiency of aircraft
operations at aerodromes under their respective jurisdictions rests with individual
States. It is therefore essential that whenever the operation of Aerodromes is
delegated to an operator, the State retain its overseeing responsibility and ensure that
the operator complies with the relevant ICAO SARPs and/or applicable national
regulations.
The most effective and transparent means of achieving these objectives are to:
1) Establish a separate safety oversight entity and a well-defined safety oversight
mechanism, supported by appropriate legislation, to carry out the functions of
certification and safety regulation of aerodromes;
2) Implement an Aerodrome certification procedure whereby a State certifies an
Aerodrome through the approval/acceptance of the Aerodrome Manual
submitted by the Aerodrome operator.
2.1.2. Annex 14, Volume I - Aerodrome Design and Operations
Articles 1.4.1, 1.4.3, 1.4.4, below are from Volume I, Annex 14. They establish the
requirements vis--vis the Aerodrome certification and the establishment of a Safety
1
Everywhere in this guide, the term State means the fundamental authority who establishes a Civil Aviation
Authority. This Civil Aviation Authority having jurisdiction over civil aviation matters within the framework of the
national legislation.

Management System (SMS), approved by the State. Annex 19 Safety Management

contains the safety management provisions applicable to certified aerodromes. These
articles are the backbone of The Republic of Mozambique Aerodrome laws and
regulations.
1.4.1 States shall certify aerodromes used for international operations in

accordance with the specifications contained in this Annex as well as other
relevant ICAO specifications through an appropriate regulatory framework.
1.4.2 Recommendation. States should certify aerodromes open to public use
in accordance with these specifications as well as other relevant ICAO
specifications through an appropriate regulatory framework.
1.4.3 The regulatory framework shall include the establishment of criteria and
procedures for the certification of aerodromes.
1.4.4 As part of the certification process, States shall ensure that an Aerodrome
Manual which will include all pertinent information on the Aerodrome site,
facilities, services, equipment, operating procedures, organization and
management including a safety management system, is submitted by the
applicant for approval / acceptance prior to granting the Aerodrome certificate.

3. Aerodrome Certification Procedures

3.1. New Aerodromes vs Existing Aerodromes
The Aerodrome Certification Procedures in the Republic of Mozambique are adapted
from the guidance defined in the ICAO Document 97742 and comprises five (5)
steps, as follows:
1) Dealing with the expression of interest by an intending applicant for the
aerodrome certificate;
2) Assessing the formal application, including evaluation of the aerodrome
manual;
3) Assessing the aerodrome facilities and equipment;
4) Issuing or refusing an aerodrome certificate; and
5) Promulgating the certified status of an aerodrome and the required details in
the AIP.
In most cases, the Aerodromes to be certified are existing Aerodromes which have
been in operation for number of years.
In some rare cases, a new Aerodrome which needs to be certified, will have been built
in a green field. In such rare cases, the procedures may be lengthy and the IACM will
require to be more vigilant to ensure the compliance checklist submitted by the
Aerodrome Operator wishing to be certified strictly applies and is in accordance with
the applicable laws and regulations of the Republic of Mozambique. Such areas may
include the reference to other agencies like the Ministry of Environment for
Environmental Impact Assessment, National Institute of Meteorology for weather
conditions and data, CENACARTA for accuracy of coordinates etc
In other cases, an existing Aerodrome begins to receive international operations and
therefore required to be certified in accordance with the MOZ-CARS 139. In such
cases, the impacts will be much less from an environmental, controlled airspace and
existing instrument procedures point of view. They should however be looked at
carefully.

3.2. Process Summary

The Aerodrome Certification Procedure is divided in five (5) phases, as mentioned
above, each of them divided in a number of steps. The phases and steps shown on
figure 3.1 are summarized below.
3.2.1. Phase 1 : Expression of interest
1. After the Aerodrome Operator has expressed desire to be certified and for the
launching of the certification process, the IACM should call a general meeting
with the Aerodrome Operator during which the certification process
requirements will be explained and some useful information regarding
requirements will be communicated to the applicants.
2. The applicants will then complete the Aerodrome Manual according to the
approved procedures and template. The applicants can then proceed with the
formal application demand by submitting their requests on the appropriate form.
The complete file is to be submitted to the IACM in three (3) hard copies and
three
(3)
electronic
copies.
3.2.2. Phase 2: Assessment of the formal application
1. Upon receipt of the file, the IACM will make administrative checks to make sure
that the file for Aerodrome certification is complete and acceptable.
2. IACM will review the Aerodrome Manual. At this stage the acceptance or
refusal of the Aerodrome Manual will be considered from an administrative point
of
view
only.
3. If the file is complete and accepted, the IACM will inform, in writing, the applicant
and will ask him to be prepared for the inspection certification.
4. Should the file be incomplete, the IACM will inform the applicant what additional
information is required or which areas of the file needs modifications before
proceeding with the process. Upon correction, the file shall be resubmitted to
the IACM in the same conditions as described above.
3.2.3. Phase 3 : Inspection
After having made proper arrangements with the applicant, the IACM will organize and
will proceed with the safety certification inspection at the aerodrome site. Prior to
completion of the safety inspection and departure from site, IACM will call a meeting
with the Aerodrome Operator (or a Representative) to outline the result of the
inspection and to receive comments from the aerodrome operator if any. The IACM
will then produce an inspection report listing, the items that do meet and those that do
not meet the established requirements as per standards. The report is to be sent to
the applicant in three (3) paper copies and an electronic format as well.
Page 15 of 84
Upon receipt of the report, the applicant must submit a Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
outlining a programme for implementation of tasks and activities to correct the
observations and assure compliance of standards. The detailed Corrective Action Plan
shall be submitted to the IACM in three (3) copies (paper and electronic versions), no
later than thirty (30) working days after the reception of the IACM report.
Not later than 14 days of receipt of the CAP and after review and acceptance of the
CAP, the IACM shall communicate in writing to the Aerodrome Operator indicating
intention to monitor implementation of the CAP activities,
Once the corrective measures have been applied, the applicant shall inform the IACM.
The IACM will then decide if another Aerodrome inspection is required. If corrective
actions are found to be inappropriate, the IACM will notify the applicant, in writing,
accordingly.
3.2.4. Phase 4: Issuance or refusal
When all above-mentioned steps have been satisfactorily completed, the IACM will
issue the Aerodrome Certificate to the applicant (certificate holder). IACM may decide
to issue specific conditions under wich the certificate has been issued. If on the other
hand IACM determines that the specific national standards for certification have not
yet been met, the Aerodrome Operator will be informed accordingly giving reasons for
refusal of the certificate.
3.2.5. Phase 5: Publication
IACM will take necessary actions to publish the information about the certified
Aerodrome(s) in the AIP. This will include the exemptions and any special conditions
related to the operation of the Aerodrome.

3.3. Certification Process Detailed Description

This section describes the various steps of the certification process and the tasks to
be accomplished at each level.
3.3.1. The Certification Process Planning
The IACM is responsible to plan for, on an annual basis, all necessary actions for
ensuring Aerodrome certification and the supervision of their operations. To do so,
the IACM shall develop an annual based schedule of all actions to be taken to
supervise adequately the Aerodrome certification in Mozambique. Aerodrome
inspections shall also be programmed according to established frequencies.
Moreover, this schedule is essential to efficiently plan the trips and the organization of
these inspection visits to the aerodromes involved.
3.3.2. Launching of the Certification Process
The IACM Department of Aeronautical Infrastructure (DAI) is responsible to receive,

register and process the requests for Aerodrome certification. Upon launching an
aerodrome certification process, the aerodrome operator shall be informed in writing.
The IACM will decide if a general meeting should be organized. If so, at the meeting,
the Aerodrome operators would be informed about the Aerodrome certification
requirements. The certification guide and other useful information for the preparation
of the certification request would be passed on to the applicants.
3.3.3. The Request for Certification File Preparation
The Aerodrome operator requesting an Aerodrome certificate shall supply the IACM
with detailed elements allowing the IACM to review all safety aspects of the applicants
operations.
The applicants request shall supply the IACM with the following information:
i)
If first time certification:

a) Name and address of the aerodrome.
b) Information on the administrative organization of the aerodrome.
c) The request for certification form to be duly completed (see template form
at Appendix A). The request for certification form shall be supplied in three
(3) paper copy and electronic format.
d) The Aerodrome Manual written according with the specifications of chapter
4 of this guide, titled Aerodrome Manual Contents. The Aerodrome
Manual shall be supplied in three (3) paper copies and electronic format.
Page 21 of 84
e) All documents referred to in the Aerodrome Manual (procedures, protocols,

accords, plans, etc.). These documents shall be supplied in three (3) paper
copies and electronic format.
ii)
For a modification to the Aerodrome Certificate :

a) An update the information mentioned above.
The file for Aerodrome Certification request is signed by the Accountable Executive
(see Appendix A, Section 2) and submitted to the Director Department of Aeronautical
Infrastructure (DAI) for and on behalf of the IACM.
3.3.4. Preliminary Technical (administrative) Checks
Upon reception of the applicants file, the DAI will check if the request for certification
form is properly completed and if the Aerodrome Manual has been completed
according with the regulatory applicable requirements.
The following Chapter 4 does contain information to allow the applicants to complete
the Aerodrome Manual according with the regulatory requirements.
Technical check list which include request for Aerodrome Certification Check list and
Aerodrome Check list:
1. will be estabilished and amended as necessary under the authority of Director of
Air Navigation;
2. Before use, the lead Aerodrome Inspector shall confirm which is the latest
amendment;
3. After use, the lead Aerodrome Inspector shall report to Director of Air Navigation
any proposal for further amendment; and
4. All current checklists shall be available in the office of the Director of Air
Navigation as well as in the Department of Aeronautical Infrastructures.
3.3.5. Request for Aerodrome Certification File - Acceptance
Should the Aerodrome Certification request form or the Aerodrome Manual be

incomplete, the Aerodrome Operator will be requested by DAI in writting to make the
necessary corrections and re-submit. In this case a written request will be sent by the
IACM to the applicant for corrective actions. Once the corrective actions taken, the
applicant will forward the revised request for certification file to the IACM.
In the end, once the preliminary control checks are successfully completed, the DAI
will inform the applicant that the certification process may continue. After consultation,
Page 22 of 84
the DAI will inform, in writing, the applicant of the dates the Aerodrome safety
inspection visit will be done.
3.3.6. Aerodrome Safety Inspection by the DAI
On the date agreed upon, the DAI will proceed to the Aerodrome Certification visit.
Within the Aerodrome certification process framework, the DAI will:
I.
Determine if the Aerodrome services safety level is conforming to regulations

and applicable standards;
II.
Determine if the Aerodrome personnel is competent and can deliver the

appropriate
services;
III.
Approve the Aerodrome Manual if it does exactly describe the Aerodrome

physical characteristics and operational procedures; and
IV.

Appendix H - Dealing with Expression of Interest

1. Site Assessment General
The main difference between certifying an existing Aerodrome and a newly constructed or to
be constructed Aerodrome lies with the new Aerodrome site assessment. Once this
assessment is achieved the certification procedures to follow will be most likely the same that
the ones that will be followed for an existing Aerodrome.
This site assessment is to be examined mainly from an environmental and an aeronautical
point of view.
It is assumed that a formal request has been received by the IACM concerning the
construction of a new Aerodrome.
It is also assumed that the construction of the new Aerodrome is compatible with the National
Moambique International Aerodrome implementation strategy. As such, it is approved by
the State, in principle.
Most likely the decision to build a new international Aerodrome will be a State decision. The
implication of the IACM in such a case would be its participation in the site selection for the
new international Aerodrome. It is highly probable that many sites will be under consideration
and will have to be evaluated.
2. Site Assessment Aeronautical Assessment

The IACM must be satisfied that the operation of an aerodrome at the site specified or to be
selected will not endanger the safety of aircraft and will allow continuous operations with as
less operational constraints as possible.
At the request of the Aerodrome Department, the Flying Operations Department will do this
aeronautical assessment. The Flying Operations Inspector will be responsible for ensuring
that a flying operations assessment is conducted. Suitable guidance and information should
be prepared by the aerodrome department for flying operations inspectors who may be called
on to provide these assessments. The flying operations assessment would normally take into
consideration matters such as:
The proximity of the proposed aerodrome to other aerodromes and landing sites;
Obstacles and terrain effects on a proposal;
Whether the site being considered would involve excessive operational restrictions;
Existing restrictions and controlled airspace requirements that would be affected by
the proposal;
Existing
instrument
procedures
that
might
be
affected
by
the
proposal.
Prevailing winds.
Page 81 of 84
Other local climatic specificities, microclimate.

The flying operations department will produce a formal aeronautical assessment report for
the site(s) under consideration.
3. Site Assessment Environmental Assessment

The environmental impacts shall be evaluated and appropriate authorization(s) shall be
obtained from the competent authority (ies).
From an environmental point of view, the requirements shall be determined by the competent
authority (ies).
It is however expected that the following elements will be required to be examined.
3.1. Elements to be assessed4:
i.
Air quality: would the proposed project result in a net total of direct and indirect
emissions that exceed the threshold level established by the competent authority (ies)?
ii.
Biotic resources: to describe the potential of the proposed project to directly or

indirectly impact plant communities and/or the displacement of wildlife.
iii.
Coastal resources: Would the project occur in a coastal zone, ore affect the use of a
coastal resource?
iv.
Compatibility land use: would the project result in other (besides noise) impacts that
have land use ramifications, such as disruption of communities, relocation of
residences
or
businesses,
or
impact
natural
resource
areas?
v.
Construction impacts: Would construction of the proposed project increase ambient

noise levels due to equipment operation; degrade local air quality due to dust,
equipment exhausts and burning debris; deteriorate water quality when erosion and
pollutant runoff occur; and/or disrupt off-site and local traffic patterns?
vi.
Resources: Would construction of the project have an impact on any publicly owned
land from a public park, recreation area, or wildlife or waterfowl refuge of national,
province, or local significance, or an historic site of national, provincial or local
significance?
vii.
Endangered and threatened species: would the proposed project impact any
national or provincial-listed or proposed, endangered, or threatened species of flora
and fauna, or impact critical habitat? Would the project affect migratory birds?
viii.
Environmental justice: would the proposed project have a disproportionate impact

on minority and/or low-income communities? Human health, social, economic, and
The Elements to be assessed are from FAA, Short Environmental Assessment () for
Aerodrome Development Projects.
4
Page 82 of 84
environmental issues shall be considered.

ix.
Farmland: does the project involve the acquisition of farmland, or use of farmland, that
would be converted to non-agricultural use and is protected by the law (national,
provincial, local)?
x.
Floodplains: would the proposed project be located in, or would it encroach upon
floodplains?
xi.
Hazardous materials: would the proposed project involve the use of land that may
contain hazardous materials or cause potential contamination from hazardous
materials?
xii.
Induces socioeconomic impacts: would the proposed project cause induces, or

secondary, socioeconomic impacts to surrounding communities, such as change
business and economic activity in a community; impact public service demands; induce
shifts in population movement and growth, etc.?
xiii.
Light emissions and visual effects: would the proposed project have the potential
for
Aerodrome-related
lighting
impacts
on
nearby
communities?
xiv.
Noise: will the project, when compared to the No Action alternative for the same
timeframe, cause noise sensitive areas located at or above 65 decibels to experience
a noise increase?
xv.
Social impacts: would the proposed project cause an alteration in surface traffic
patterns, or cause a noticeable increase in surface traffic congestion or decrease in
level of service.
xvi.
Solid waste: would the operation and/or construction of the project generate
significant amounts of solid waste? If yes, are local disposal facilities capable of
handling the additional volumes of waste resulting from the project?
xvii.
Water quality: does the proposed project have the potential to impact water quality,
including ground water, surface water bodies, and public water supply system or
national, provincial or tribal water quality standards?
xviii.
Wetlands: does the proposed project involve national or provincial regulated or nonjurisdictional wetlands?
xix.
Wild and scenic rivers: would the proposed project affect a river segment that is listed
in the inventory of the federal or provincial governments as a sensitive area?
xx.
Cumulative impacts: The impacts from past, present, and reasonably foreseeable
future projects both on and off the Aerodrome shall be discussed. Would the proposed
project produce a cumulative effect on any of the environmental impact categories
above? Projects that are connected and may have common timing and/or location
shall be considered.
Page 83 of 84
3.2. Permits
All the required permits for the proposed project shall be listed. What is the expected time
frame of receiving the permit(s)?
3.3. Mitigation
Those mitigation measures to be taken to avoid creation of significant impacts to a particular
resource as a result of the proposed project shall be described. Any impacts that cannot be
mitigated shall also be explained.
3.4. Public involvement
The public review process shall be exposed and comments received shall be discussed.
