Decree on the implementation of Regulation (EU) on the reporting, analysis and follow-up of occurrences in civil aviation (national regulation) defines the competent authority for the implementation and supervision of the implementation of Regulation (EU) No. 376/2014 and national regulation to be the Civil Aviation Agency of the Republic of Slovenia. For this purposes a special checklist has been established. Despite its initial purpose to be of internal nature, it is - for your convenience - also available here (CMSMS.CHK-36) for you to be able to conduct self-assessment of your organisation.
