RVA technical experts in Aviation Law, Operations and Airworthiness met with their DGCAA counterparts in Sofia in September and November 2004 and submitted a Report of Initial Evaluation and Recommended Actions to the DGCAA in December 2004. Collaborative efforts continued with extensive in Sofia in May 2005, and, most recently, in April 2006. At RVA's Recommendation, the DGCAA completed an internal IASA-based audit in January 2006 and developed a plan (Petrova/Alexiev Report of 18 January 2006) to address each of the audit items. In mid-January 2006, JAA performed an Operations Standardization Team (OPST) audit. With certain exceptions, the audit team found that DGCAA arrangements for safety oversight of commercial aircraft operations were in compliance with JAR-OPS procedures. As for each of the exceptions, DGCAA corrective actions are ongoing and scheduled for completion during the current year. 收起
