Supplementary Instruction 108-001C refers to aircraft operators’ own PSOA, to which alternative procedures or additional security measures may be eventually added when requested by the operator and approved by this agency.
Additional security measures and alternative procedures
Requests for the analysis and approval of proposed additional security measures or alternative procedures shall be sent through the Electronic Protocol System provided by ANAC. The representative of the Aircraft Operator must register in the Electronic Information System (SEI! – ANAC).
