From March 2 to 5, 2020, the evaluation of the 3rd and 4th Stages of Implementation of the COCESNA/CENAMER SMS was carried out by the State of Nicaragua, with the support of specialist Elvin Lacayo, from COCESNA’s Technical Secretariat.
The representatives of the States of Costa Rica and Honduras participated as observers.
The assessment included a review of the safety management system obligations, in which the specific SMS requirements of RTA 19: Operational Safety Management apply.
COCESNA already has the first and second stages of the SMS, which have been accepted by the States of Nicaragua and Honduras. With the implementation of the third and fourth stages of the SMS, COCESNA’s SMS is expected to be accepted by the State of Nicaragua, thus guaranteeing compliance with one of the Corporation’s strategic objectives and the purpose of making operations safer by proactively identifying potential hazards in the provision of air traffic services.
With the implementation of the SMS, COCESNA continues on the path established in its Vision, to be a worldwide reference in the provision of air navigation services.
