Amendment No. 16 provides for the convening by the IAA of an aviation stakeholders forum. The purpose of the forum will be to promote the sharing of best practice aviation safety initiatives, to engage with the IAA on matters relating to the regulation of aviation safety, to elicit views on proposals for EU or national regulatory changes with regard to aviation safety and to enable the sharing of aviation lessons learned, best aviation practices and aviation safety performance indicators and the provision of information on specific aviation safety risks. The aviation stakeholders forum will provide a means by which any safety-relevant issues can be brought forward for attention and teased out in a consultative and collaborative manner. The amendment also requires the IAA to publish a licence holders charter setting out the standards of engagement that will be undertaken by the IAA with the holders of licences.
