The French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC)
The civil aviation sector has significantly changed over the last decade and civil aviation authority must adapt their structures and working processes accordingly
European Union is increasingly taking over in the civil aviation sector (regulation making but also certification, security, air traffic rights, …) ; two significant events :
• September 2003 : set up of EASA (European aviation safety agency)
• January 2005 : the “Single European Sky”

COOPERATION
If a high level of safety in air transport is to be maintained, ever-greater cooperation is needed between States in drawing up common rules and disseminating the best practices
√ This is one of the DGAC’s ongoing priorities, and so advice and assistance are also provided to foreign authorities. The Department for Aeronautical Programmes and Cooperation (DPAC) has in charge the cooperation
COSCAP -NA April 2008 7

COOPERATION
DPAC is responsible for co-ordinating all the skills that contribute to the cooperation
√ The promotion of this expertise covers all areas of civil aviation (manufacturing, safety, air navigation, airport development, regulations, security, training)
√ DPAC relies on the expertise of the different departments and on ENAC

COOPERATION
ENAC is the training body to the French Civil Aviation Authority. It organises ab-initio and continuing education for the personnel of DGAC, as well as for the private sector and foreign authorities
√ ENAC is particularly involved in aviation safety related courses such as air traffic management, aircraft airworthiness, communication, navigation and surveillance, airport security and airport certification

To develop cooperation – How?
Developing close relationship with foreign Civil Aviation Authorities
Organizing wide variety of forms of cooperation ( trainings, on job training, studies, exchange of experts….)
Participating to the ICAO cooperation programmes (COSCAP)

COSCAPs
Progress in the field of safety must be based upon the ICAO principle that France strongly supports, founded on the responsibility of each State and on a mutual confidence between States
√ The improvement of safety requires a permanent mobilisation of all concerned actors and a consistency of their respective actions (manufacturers, pilots, airlines, oversight and regulatory authorities)

COOPERATION
COSCAPs are an appropriate forum:
- to heighten the civil aviation authorities of the problems related to the content of the regulation, its implementation and the supervision
- to organize exchange of views and experiences
- to promote harmonization on a regional level
- to avoid duplication in cooperation activities
