Aeronautics Division

VERITAL is authorized by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport for civil aviation technical control. The aeronautics division ensures aircraft classification, airworthiness surveillance (airworthiness certificate, on-board radio installation operating certificate), safety assessment (SANAA for national aircraft, SAFAA for foreign aircraft), investigations into serious accidents and incidents, and technical expertise. The SANAA/SAFAA program, operational since 2010, allows inspection of aircraft on the tarmac with a checklist of over 50 points. The division is also involved in monitoring approved workshops, ongoing maintenance control, maintenance program studies, and assistance in accident investigations.
