CAP3082 Consultation on Changes to UK Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 with regards to the Specific Cargo Compartment Safety Risk Assessment - One-off costs - Civil Aviation Authority

One-off costs

To enable an accurate assessment to be conducted, the CAA is inviting air operators to provide an estimate of costs and benefits that should be considered as a result from adoption and implementation of the proposed changes.

We have factored the following four types of costs in this consultation, which address the principal areas the CAA believes may be impacted by the adoption and implementation of the proposed changes:

One-off Costs – resulting from the implementation of the changes
Transitional Costs – resulting from the transition to the new requirements
Ongoing Costs - annual costs required for maintaining and upkeeping the new SMS and CMS requirements.
Benefits - resulting from adequate mitigation of an uncontrolled fire in the cargo compartment resulting from items being carried.

Each cost type will have a series of associated descriptors to allow necessary granularity of the estimations and what covered.

In case we have not captured all potential associated costs, we have included at the end of this section, an additional opportunity for estimation of ‘Other Costs’ not considered previously, to be entered.

When responding to this part of the consultation, go to each of the types of costs listed, its applicable descriptor / specified cost,and please insert the total estimated cost in £ (GBP) for each.

At the end of each type of cost there is a free text box into which additional information can be entered, for the purpose of explaining a rational or providing clarification deemed necessary by the commentator.

Please provide as much detail as possible, as this will allow the CAA to account for as many variables as possible in the impact estimation.

15. Descriptor 1 - Staff Resourcing

This descriptor aims to capture number of staff needed for the initial implementation and estimated role related costs that may be incurred.

These costs should be reflective of the operator’s size, its cargo and/or passenger operations and its network (domestic and/or international).

This descriptor should consider costs which are in addition to existing Safety Management and Compliance Monitoring activities which are currently required to be in place under the purview of The Air Operations Regulation.

Cost for compliance monitoring roles

Cost for administrative roles

Other resourcing costs (please specify)

16. Descriptor 2 – Staff Training

This descriptor aims to collect estimated costs required for training of all personnel, which may include development costs with training platforms, materials and individual training costs.

The estimate should consider additional training to what the operator is already required to have in place for the Safety Management Compliance Monitoring Systems.
