DESCRIPTION
This Implementation Package (iPack) is a self-contained package assisting and guiding the civil aviation authority (CAA) in conducting their safety oversight functions related to Personnel Licensing (PEL) that is consistent with principles and provisions set forth in the Chicago Convention and its Annexes. It includes relevant documentation and a training course to support these functions.
