Which organization approves the AOM after receiving advice from the Aerodrome Safety Inspector?

• A. Director General, Civil Aviation
• B. Regional Superintendent, Safety for Transport Canada
• C. Airport Manager
• D. Minister of Transport

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that approving an Aerodrome Operations Manual after the Aerodrome Safety Inspector’s advice sits with the Transport Canada regional safety authority. The Aerodrome Safety Inspector reviews the AOM and makes safety-focused recommendations, but the formal sign-off to adopt or require changes comes from the Regional Superintendent, Safety for Transport Canada. This regional office handles the regulatory approvals for aerodrome operations at airports within its area, ensuring consistency with national safety standards while reflecting local conditions.

The other roles operate at different levels: the Director General, Civil Aviation sets policy and overarching certification programs rather than signing off on a specific AOM; the Airport Manager implements and enforces the procedures but does not grant regulatory approval; the Minister of Transport is a political position and does not authorize individual airport documents.
