[03] COMMISSION HELIOS
The Commission of Inquiry into the causes of the August 14 2005 Helios
air crash presented letters by the International Civil Aviation
Authority and the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), stressing that the
Cypriot Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) had weaknesses and
deficiencies prior and after the tragic accident.
Head of the Commission Panagiotis Kallis presented a letter by the JAA
pointing out the lack on the part of the DCA on procedures for airline
certificate renewals and the fact that the DCA`s Aviation Safety
Division had only one full time employee instead of four meant that the
Division had insufficient Safety Oversight Audit (SOA).
