AVIATION SAFETY

1.Each Contracting Party may request consultations at any time concerning the safety standards maintained by the other Contracting Party in areas relating to aeronautical facilities, flight crew, aircraft and the operation of aircraft.

Notwithstanding the obligation mentioned in Article 33 of the Convention, the purpose of this search (in this Article called “ramp inspection”) is to verify the validity of the relevant aircraft documentation, the licensing of its crew, and that the aircraft equipment and the condition of the aircraft conform to the standards established at that time pursuant to the Convention.

4.If any such ramp inspection or series of ramp inspections gives rise to:

a)serious concerns that an aircraft or the operation of an aircraft does not comply with the minimum standards established at that time pursuant to the Convention, or

the Contracting Party carrying out the ramp inspection shall, for the purposes of Article 33 of the Convention, be free to conclude that the requirements under which the certificates or licences in respect of that aircraft or in respect of the crew of that aircraft had been issued or rendered valid, or that the requirements under which that aircraft is operated, are not equal to or above the minimum standards established pursuant to the Convention.

6.Each Contracting Party reserves the right to suspend or vary the operating authorisation

11

of an Airline or Airlines of the other Contracting Party immediately in the event the first Contracting Party concludes, whether as a result of a ramp inspection, a series of ramp inspections, a denial of access for ramp inspection, consultation or otherwise, that immediate action is essential to the safety of an Airline operation.

7.Where the Aeronautical Authorities of the Slovak Republic has designated an Airline whose regulatory control is exercised and maintained by the European Union Member State, the rights of the Aeronautical Authorities of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan under this Article shall apply equally in respect of the adoption, exercise or maintenance of safety standards by that European Union Member State and in respect of the operating authorisation of that Airline for purposes of this Article and Articles 4 and 6.

12

President of the Council of ICAO is a national of either Contracting Party, the senior Vice-President of the Council of ICAO or if he is such a national, the Senior Member of the Council of ICAO who is not such a national may be requested to make the appointments as the case may be.
