CHAPTER 4: EXEMPTION
4.1 GENERAL
An application for exemption is a request from an interested person to be exempted
from the requirements of a regulation or part thereof. Application for an exemption from
any applicable provision of Nig. CARs may originate from airport operators or a service
provider. Nig. CARs covers the requirements for such an applicant.
4.2 APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION
Where applicable, an operator/service provider may apply to the Authority for an
exemption. Any application for exemption from any provision should be forwarded to the
Authority for consideration.
4.3 PROCESSING THE APPLICATION
4.3.1 INITIAL REVIEW FOR COMPLIANCE.
The Authority reviews application for exemption, to ensure that the following items are
included in the application:
(1) the specific requirement from which the applicant seeks exemption explaining the
nature and extent of the relief sought;
(2) justification for the exemption giving information, views, or arguments to support
the action sought;
(3) the reason why granting the request would be in the public interest;
(4) a detailed description of the alternative means by which the applicant is to ensure a
level of safety equivalent to that established by the regulation from which the
exemption is applied for. The applicant reason should justify that the exemption
would not a f f e c t safety or the action to be taken by the applicant will provide a
level of safety equal to that provided by the provision under the applicable
regulations, from which the exemption is sought.
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [9] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
4.3.2 APPLICANT DOES NOT MEET REQUIREMENTS.
The Authority shall inform the applicant and no further action shall be taken on that
application. A letter of rejection is prepared for signature of the DG NCAA. This letter
explains why the application does not satisfy the requirements and is to be sent to the
applicant within 30 days of the receipt of the application.
4.3.3 APPLICANT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS.
Where the Authority determines that the application for exemption meets the
requirements of the regulations and that a review is justified, the Authority shall notify the
applicant and publish the exemption in the AIP.
4.4 ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION
While each request for an exemption must stand on its own merit, due diligence must be
made to each application for exemption for administrative purposes (namely, to see if similar
exemptions have been granted before.) In an exemption action, maintaining an equivalent or
greater level of safety is of primary concern. The analysis should focus on the applicant’s
justification that safety would not be affected.
Consideration in the analysis should include:
(1) The effect of an undue burden upon the applicant if the exemption is not granted,
relative to the burden that others bear in complying with the regulation(s);
(2) The effect of setting a precedent with respect to safety and public interest. A
review of related previous exemption action may be in order. As with any application,
the Authority may request additional information from the applicant.
(3) The needs of or benefits to the aviation public and the local community;
consequences which may be of commercial or practical convenience, or
necessity of the operation. It is not sufficient that the exemption be considered "safe"
and "commercially expedient" for the applicant. All factors that examine the safety
impact on the community at large should be considered. Consideration should also
be given to all factors that examine the economic impact on "non- exempt" operators
given that an exemption must not result in any unjustified competitive advantage
to one party over another.
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [10] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
4.5 PROCEDURES FOR GRANTING OR DENYING THE APPLICATION FOR AN EXEMPTION
4.5.1 Decision to Grant. After completing the analysis, the Authority may conclude that the
applicant's arguments support a grant of exemption. In this case, the Authority Certification
Staff will draft a document granting the exemption for the signature of the Director General
(See appendix 02)
4.5.2 Decision to Deny. After reviewing all of the issues involved, the Authority may determine
that the applicant has not shown reasonable support to granting the exemption. A
decision to deny the exemption is based on the determination that the exemption would
not be in the public interest, would adversely affect safety, or, if applicable, would not
provide a level of safety intended by the regulation. Under such circumstances, the assigned
certification staff will prepare a denial of the exemption document citing the reasons for
the signature of the Director General.
4.5.3 Partial Grant of an Exemption. If the Authority determines that part of the applicant's
request meets the criteria for granting the application, it may issue a partial grant of
exemption. The guidelines above for grant of exemption and denial of exemption
documents should be followed citing reasons. The document must fully discuss those
parts of the request that are being denied and those that are being granted.
4.5.4 Document Contents. The document granting the exemption should answer the following
questions:
(1) What was the applicant's request?
(2) What does the current regulation require?
(3) What arguments did the applicant use to support the request?
(4) If the Authority does not agree with all of the arguments presented by the applicant
to support the grant of exemption, these reasons shall be discussed. All issues
presented by the applicant are to be addressed. The document should discuss
how granting the request will not adversely affect safety and should explain how
the action proposed by the applicant will provide a level of safety equal to the
regulation. Any conditions, design modifications, operating limitations, expiration
date, etc. must be made part of the granting clause.
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [11] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
4.5.5 The Authority shall inform the applicant in writing of the decision to grant or deny the
application for exemption.
4.5.6 The report shall specify the duration of the exemption and any conditions or limitations of
the exemption.
4.5.7 The Authority shall publish the exemption in the Aeronautical Information Publication.
4.6 REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF THE TERMINATION DATE OF AN EXEMPTION
4.6.1 The continued validity of every exemption granted by the Authority shall be reviewed
during the renewal of the certificate. On removal of the exemption the certificate holder
shall notify the same to the DG NCAA and after approval of DG NCAA, the same shall be
deleted from the AIP.
4.6.2 Upon receipt of a request from an applicant to extend the termination date of an
exemption, the Authority shall process the application according to the steps given in
paragraphs 3.0-5.0 above and prepare a letter of agreement or denial depending on the
outcome of the review. The following information is to be included:-
(1) The relevant Part of Nig. CARs;
(2) Date of incoming application;
(3) Grant or denial statement; and
(4) Exemption number.
4.6.3 DAAS shall maintain a record of exemption, extension or denial. See Appendix 3 for an
example of format of the letter granting the extension.

to administer the regulatory certification/approval as well as the routine
surveillance and inspection Program. The knowledge is acquired through a
combination of formal training courses and on-the-job training.
8.10.2 Each inspector shall be given training appropriate to his specialty. The intent
will be to maintain a fully and qualified workforce through the utilization of all of
the above methods. Inspectors' training may be administered in various ways.
By attendance of training at contractor’s sites under an agreement between the NCAA and the training provider;
By undergoing ´On the Job training (OJT) administered by fully qualified inspectors; or
By attending NCAA developed formal courses at a time and location set forth by the Director.
8.10.3 The training profiles for Inspectors consist of the following three phases.
Phase I: Initial Training + OJT;
Phase II: Specialized Training + OJT;
Phase III: Developmental Training.
Training courses are categorized as follows:
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [77] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
C1 – Mandatory/Critical
C2 – Sensitive or Desirable
C3 – Depending on assigned duties
8.10.4 The Initial Training phase is the entry level and would be common to all
Inspectors. The objectives are:
(a) To provide adequate knowledge and skills for the conduct of
aerodromes and air navigation functions to enable the Inspector
to administer the regulatory certification/approval program; and
(b) To allow the inspector to function with minimum and progressively reduced supervision. Such knowledge may be acquired through a combination of formal training courses and on-the-job training.
8.10.5 To accomplish the above objectives, the Initial Training phase would comprise two
(2) parts. The first part of inspectors training would be formal basic training
courses and second part would be an OJT programme, controlled by the Director.
8.10.6 Depending on assigned additional supplementary tasks, the Director can set
the need for specialized training relative to the position.
8.10.7 The Developmental phase is achieved by inspectors who have completed
most or all of the requirements of phase II. The objective is to promote
organizational capacity building through empowerment and leadership.
8.10.8 In all cases, Inspectors must have successfully completed the approved Initial
Training. (Newly inducted Inspectors must successfully complete the Initial
Training before being utilized on the specific inspector job function).
8.10.9 In cases where suitable inspectors fulfilling the above criteria are not
available, the Director General may, at his/her discretion, waive some of the
requirements, taking into consideration an individual´s seniority, past
performance, employment record, experience, progression towards a higher rating
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [78] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
and utility of the Inspector.
8.10.10 The minimum training that shall be completed prior to issuance of an
Inspector’s credential includes all the mandatory courses that are restricted to
the core function to be performed as spelt out in Chapter 11 to this Policy and
Procedure Manual.
8.11 ON – THE – JOB TRAINING (OJT)
8.11.8 The following OJT items should be observed by the Inspector candidate
during the training process. The successful completion of the OJT qualifies the
trainee to perform an effective critique of the operator/service provider’s
compliance with the regulations.
8.12 ON – SITE OJT INSPECTION PROCESS.
8.12.8 OBSERVATION.
The Inspector candidate must participate in at least three inspections conducted by a credentialed Inspector as an observer. The candidate should observe at least two experienced credentialed Inspector’s carry out periodic inspections. The inspections should range across varied conditions.
8.13 SUPERVISED INSPECTIONS
8.13.8 The Inspector candidate must conduct at least three
independent inspections including an aerodrome and air space with Low Traffic,
and one with Higher Traffic, under the supervision and observation of an
experienced credentialed Safety inspector. The pre-inspection and on-site
inspection process described above will be critiqued by the credentialed
Inspector assigned to oversee the OJT candidate. The candidate will be
responsible for preparing all inspection documents for signature by the
credentialed Inspector. The monthly activity report will indicate the training
accomplished.
8.15.1 Satisfactory Completion of OJT Assignments: Upon completion of all OJT
assignments, the credentialed Inspector will evaluate the candidate’s OJT
performance and prepare a brief appraisal indicating the ability of the
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [79] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
Inspector candidate to perform the duties of an independent Inspector. If the
appraisal is satisfactory, it will be forwarded to the Department Manager, who will
prepare a request for credential issuance. The successful completion of the
OJT process will enable the trainee inspector to accomplish this assigned task
unsupervised.
8.14 BACKGROUND
8.14.1 The Training profiles for civil aviation personnel consist of the following three phases:
(1) Phase I: Initial/Mandatory Training;
(2) Phase II: Specialised Training;
(3) Phase III: Developmental Training
8.14.2 To accomplish these objectives the Initial Training phase would comprise two
(2) parts: The first would be a formal Phase I training. The Phase II would be an
OJT program, controlled by the Training Coordinator.
8.14.3 The OJT program is based on the concept of a structured OJT system which can be defined as: ―The identification of training objectives and the planned process of developing task level expertise by having an experienced qualified employee train a new employee at or near the actual work setting.‖
8.15 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
8.15.2 The purpose of the OJT program is to encourage the exercising of knowledge and
skills acquired during the formal course, in a controlled setting at the job site. One
objective being to provide the inspector trainee with the opportunity to qualify for
the issue of Scope of Authorisation on completion of the Initial Training phase I
(Please refer to Chapter 9 which pertains specifically to the issuance of Scope of
Authorisation). Therefore, the scope of authorization applicable to the inspector
group is an important source of tasks for the OJT list.
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [80] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
8.15.3 The OJT programme uses an Open OJT Identification and History Form to
start an OJT process with a specified qualification objective. This form is used to
document the assignment of OJT tasks and evaluation of the assigned
inspector by the respective supervisor and manager. Accomplished tasks are
recorded in OJT- Task Completion Record Form. Satisfactory completion of
assigned tasks will result in the authorisation of specific tasks or group of tasks.
8.16 TASK ASSIGNMENT
8.16.1 It is understood that not all tasks listed in the Scope of Authorisation schedule can
be accomplished, or exercised during the Initial Training phase. Therefore, the
Director will designate the tasks applicable for each inspector upon entry into the
OJT program. (Applicability is indicated on the OJT Task Completion Record
Form.)
Information Note:
To qualify for the issue of the Scope of Authorisation (SoA), completion of the
designated /applicable tasks is mandatory. This may be supplemented by the
Department Manager as required. The “credentials” issued to a qualified
inspector verifying scope of authorization are directly related to those tasks
identified in the scope of authorization document specified for the position.
8.16.2 When assigning / designating tasks some consideration should be made to classify the tasks in the following manner:
(1) Class 1 - Mandatory / Critical; must be done, no alternative (directly affecting safety).
(2) Class 2 - Section sensitive and / or desirable; may vary from section to section.
(3) N/A - If a task is not applicable, the supervisor needs only indicate an ―N/A‖ in the Class column of the Task Completion Record.
8.17 TASK IMPLEMENTATION METHODS
8.17.1 The variability of task contents demands different methods by which
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [81] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
command of the task functions can be acquired. Certain tasks lend
themselves easily to ―show and tell‖ without affecting any real life scenarios.
Others can only be practiced under supervision in a real life situation. It is
suggested that one of three (3) methods be applied to the tasks, the
supervisor making the choice:
(1) Type A - Observe
(2) Type B - Assist
(3) Type C - Independent / Project
8.17.1.1 Observe: No direct involvement. The Inspector becomes familiar with the
reference material consistent with the position. A general familiarization with
active processes such as audits, document issues, inspections and handling
communications in the general office process.
8.17.1.2 Assist: A measured progressive involvement in tasks; ―watch and do‖ under
supervision. Assist senior inspectors during audits, research files for data to
support applications, handle some public inquiries.
8.17.1.3 Independent / Project: Without direct supervision, process applications to a
recommended level. A fair measure of self-cognizance. An independent project
aside from the daily work schedule, which requires research and reference
work.
8.17.1.4 Task Repetitions: Current OJT checklists require some tasks to be repeated a
set number of times to provide sufficient exposure to ingrain the prime elements of
the task. This is a department choice and should be left to the
Managers/Supervisors to set the repetition rate. As a reference, the Inspector
candidate should participate in at least three inspections conducted by a
credentialed ASI as an observer. The candidate should observe at least two
experienced credentialed Inspector's prepare for and conduct periodic
inspections.
8.17.1.5 Documentation: To control the system and provide a history of the training for
each inspector, a documentation system is proposed. The system (which follows)
includes methods to enter the OJT system, record the progress, award the
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [82] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version

J. If the inspector does not have OJT
Documentation, it is the supervisors
responsibility to establish them as
indicated in the current Inspector process
above.
8.19. TRAINING RECORDS
8.19.1 It is intended that the OJT Documentation (OJT Identification and History
Form and Forms and Task Completion record) in addition to any other
records of training become the property of the inspector. The training file should
be portable and sufficiently durable to protect it from damage and be easily
accessed by the Inspector and Director. The Inspector’s copy will be in
addition to a copy on his training file. Both copies must be up- dated at the same
time.
8.19.2 A convenient time for all copies of the training records to be updated /
reconciled would be during the annual personnel appraisal period. This provides
the department manager with an excellent opportunity to discuss progress and
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [84] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
any additional tasks considered necessary.
8.19.3 The recording of task completion is the responsibility of the person
designated by the Director. Completion is indicated on the Form- OJT Task
Completion Record in the columns titled ―Complete‖, ―Witness‖ and
―Supervisor Comments and Signature‖. The status of the work is then assessed
as satisfactory/unsatisfactory. If found unsatisfactory, additional training time can
be authorized by the Director.
8.19.4 If the designated tasks are completed and the work is considered satisfactory, the
OJT designee/ supervisor completes section 3 of the OJT Identification and
History Form and submits it to the Director for his signature and
recommendation. The Director will submit the signed form for the final
authorization by the Director General.
8.19.5 The system is designed to be controlled by the Director. It is his function to set
the scope of the authorization relative to the position, and assign additional
supplementary tasks as they require. The process of verifying qualification and
issuing authorization also resides with the Manager. Removal or reduction of
authority under extreme circumstances, for cause, is also his responsibility.
8.19.6 It is proposed that the system be reviewed for currency and applicability on an
annual basis by the Director and the Director General. Changes agreed to at this
meeting, including the impact assessment of any amendments or additions to the
Nig.CARs and the Inspector Manual would be forwarded for action, as required.

CHAPTER 9: SCOPE OF AUTHORISATION
9.1 DESCRIPTION
9.1.1 In order for the NCAA to fulfill its obligations under the ICAO Convention of
1944, it is necessary for the Organization and more specifically the staff of the
NCAA to possess certain authorities under the laws and regulations of the
Republic of Nigeria. These authorizations or scope of authorization issued in a
manner, which bestows appropriate powers and duties to persons actually
performing the surveillance and certification of activities within the Aviation
Industry in Nigeria. The exercise of these powers, duties or functions are
always subject to any conditions deemed necessary for flight safety, and to any
other limitations, consistent with their responsibilities, knowledge, training and
experience.
9.1.2 For this system to work reliably and ensure an adequate level of Safety
Oversight, it is necessary to exercise control over the granting of these
delegations only to qualified individuals. The Director Aerodrome and Airspace
Standards is tasked with issuance and control of Delegations of Authority within
the Directorate of Aerodrome and Airspace Standards. In order to accomplish
this duty, the Director must employ a system, which grants delegations only
to qualified individuals after appropriate experience and training have been
acquired, and also shows the level of delegation granted to any Staff Member at
any given time.
9.1.3 The exercising of the powers, duties and functions arising from the
delegation schedules directly affects NCAA clients and client relations. In order to
sustain a high standard of client service and meet regulatory requirements, it is
essential that Delegation of Authority be awarded only to qualified, competent
personnel with appropriate knowledge, training and experience. It follows,
therefore, that the methods used to assess knowledge, training and
experience of candidate inspectors is of primary importance.
9.2 BACKGROUND
9.2.1 The review of NCAA’s training policy orients the establishment of the
requirements for an On Job Training Program (OJT) to supplement formal
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [90] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
instruction and lectures. Central to the OJT program was the inclusion of the
Scope of authorization schedule items (See Appendix D) as a keystone element
of the OJT Task Completion Record. The inspector training and qualification
program so established and the achievement of pre-determined qualification
standards provides the basis for the delegation of authority to individual
Inspectors to exercise the powers and the authority of the NCAA, in all
Aerodrome and ANS related matters.
9.2.2 The control and assignment of OJT tasks to each ―new hire‖ Civil Aviation
Inspector is recognized as residing with the Department Manager/Training
Coordinator. An objective and measurable system therefore exists to use the
knowledge, training and experience results of the OJT training program, to
authorize specified scope of tasks for each position.
9.3 PROGRESSIVE DELEGATION
9.3.1 It is unlikely that a new hire inspector will be afforded the opportunity to
exercise or accomplish all the tasks in the applicable SoA Schedule, during the
initial training phase. Therefore, the Department Manager shall select and
designate the tasks from the schedule considered mandatory and achievable for
each position, including any others that may be applicable. The following criteria
should be used in the selection of tasks:
i. Tasks common to all inspector categories.
ii. Tasks that can be expected to occur frequently.
9.3.2 The Director, DAAS will provide for the issuance of official employee credentials to
newly hired inspectors as soon as possible. Scope of authorization will be limited
administratively until the inspector has completed the assigned OJT tasks,
and/or an assessment of acceptable competence has been made. As each SoA
OJT task and formal classroom training is completed an acceptable competence
determined, the administrative limitation could be lifted, allowing for scope
of authorization to be progressively increased. An accompanying Scope of
Authorization Document should also be issued, indicating the tasks for which the
delegation is limited.
9.3.3 This program also provides access for the Department Manager to include
inspectors, presently holding SoA Credentials, the opportunity to add additional
tasks to the scope of their authority.
TGM VOL.I, ISSUE 03/01 CONTROLLED DOCUMENT [91] MARCH 2016 Disclaimer: Please refer to NCAA website for up-to-date version
9.3.4 Competence in the application of the scope of their authorities by mainstream
inspectors is measured at the annual Personnel Appraisal Review. Inspectors
requiring training to qualify for new positions or recurrent training in current
delegated profiles may be assigned appropriate tasks through the OJT Program,
thus maintaining the integrity and credibility of the NCAA delegations.
9.4.5 Managers/Training Coordinators are required to review the Scope of Authorization
document following each revocation and replacement, to ensure that any
changes to the schedules are incorporated in the inspector’s scope of
authorization, as applicable.
