This recommendation, in addition to re-defining the responsibilities of the government and the private sector and proposing an approach to aircraft inspection systems compatible with the age of internationalization, also proposes guidelines for administrative measures for assuring aircraft safety. Aviation Council's recommendations also reflect the changes in the environment surrounding the aircraft inspection system in Japan as well as overseas. The government is requested to implement the measures required on the basis of this recommendation without fail and as soon as possible.
Review of the aircraft inspection system will mean re-definition of the responsibilities of the government and private firms. However, it goes without saying that the government take all relevant administrative measures to enhance aircraft safety. Private firms should also realize that their responsibilities for assuring aircraft safety will increase along with the new areas for which they will be delegated responsibility. They are called upon to satisfactorily fulfill their new roles.
Along with the progress in aerospace technologies and changes in the international situation, the environment surrounding the aircraft inspection system will witness changes both at home and abroad. It is imperative to respond adequately to changing needs of times to assure that the aircraft inspection system continues to function normally. It is against this backdrop that we recommend that all concerned parties continue an ongoing review of the aircraft inspection system.
