Mandatory Occurence Reporting

As stated in the AN(OT)O 2007 Article 139, as amended, there is a requirement for the reporting of certain events which constitute an occurrence to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands. The article defines a reportable occurrence as follows:

• any incident relating to such an aircraft or any defect in or malfunctioning of such an aircraft or any part or equipment of such an aircraft, being an incident, malfunctioning or defect endangering, or which if not corrected would endanger, the aircraft, its occupants or any other person; and
• any defect in or malfunctioning of any facility on the ground used or intended to be used for purposes of or in connection with the operation of such an aircraft, being a defect or malfunctioning endangering, or which if not corrected would endanger, such an aircraft or its occupants.

Upon receipt of the mandatory occurrence report, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands (CAACI) will investigate the occurrence and the resultant findings and conclusions will be made available to appropriate organizations.

The reporting of occurrences is highly important, as the information submitted will be analyzed to identify any necessary corrective actions with an overall objective of improving the level of safety. It is not the intent to attribute blame.
