CIVIL AVIATION PUBLICATION (CAP)

General

Civil Aviation Publications (CAPs) are issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Oman (DGCAR) from time to time to provide practical guidance or certainty in respect of the statutory requirements for aviation safety. CAPs contain information about standards, practices and procedures acceptable to the CAA. A CAP may be used, in accordance with the Civil Aviation Law (Oman Sultani Decree No. 76/2019) Article 7, and CAR-11 to demonstrate compliance with a statutory requirement.

Purpose

The human contribution to accidents in high-risk operations such as aviation is readily apparent. Safety investigations have repeatedly confirmed that human factors contribute in some way to at least 80 per cent of aviation incidents and accidents. It has become self-evident that managers and operators within aviation must better understand and enhance the human dimension of their operations.
