Appropriate authorities:
manage national AVSEC oversight
in one system.
A USAP-CMA audit does not begin the day the auditors arrive.
It begins months earlier — in the way your national AVSEC system is structured, maintained and demonstrated.
One framework. Multiple operators. One oversight system.
An appropriate authority does not simply manage regulations.
It turns international and national requirements into programmes, responsibilities, oversight methods and corrective actions — then verifies, operator by operator, that they are effectively implemented.
STRACKLE structures these layers within a single AVSEC governance system: from the international standard to the inspection in the field.
Your NCASP is no longer an isolated document.
The National Civil Aviation Security Programme defines the organisation, responsibilities and measures that structure the national AVSEC system.
STRACKLE links its requirements to the corresponding procedures, responsibilities, quality control activities, findings, corrective actions and evidence.
What the NCASP requires, your system lets you trace through implementation.
Updating it starts from a structured view of the system — not from rereading a document from beginning to end.
Your national quality control programme becomes operational.
Defining the programme is not enough.
You need to plan audits, inspections and tests, allocate responsibilities, track completion, record findings, analyse deficiencies and verify that corrective actions have been effectively implemented and maintained.
Plan. Check. Record. Correct. Verify.
The programme is no longer merely planned.
It is continuously monitored and followed through.
This reflects the logic of Annex 17: the appropriate authority must develop and maintain an effective national civil aviation security quality control programme and ensure that oversight activities and corrective measures are implemented.
Findings build a national picture.
A non-conformity identified during an inspection should not become a line lost in a report.
In STRACKLE, each finding can be linked to its origin, the requirement concerned, the corrective actions decided and their follow-up.
By consolidating your audits, inspections and findings, you can identify recurring patterns, areas of weakness and what still requires verification.
A local finding can reveal a national trend.
Oversight can then be guided by what the field actually shows.
Equipment availability becomes measurable.
For operators using STRACKLE, the availability of security equipment does not have to be estimated.
It can be calculated from screening-point operating hours and recorded equipment incidents, including downtime.
When the resulting availability rate is reported to the authority, it remains traceable back to the incidents from which it was calculated.
You do not receive just a figure.
You receive a traceable measurement.
ICAO audits are prepared within the system.
Ahead of a USAP-CMA audit, ICAO requests information including the State Aviation Security Activity Questionnaire, compliance checklists and relevant documentation to assess the national AVSEC system and its oversight capability. During an on-site audit, auditors gather evidence of effective implementation.
With STRACKLE, programmes, responsibilities, quality control activities, findings, corrective actions and evidence are already structured.
You do not rebuild your system for the audit.
You demonstrate the system you already manage — ready at any time.
You oversee. Operators remain in charge of their own systems.
STRACKLE does not give the appropriate authority operational control over operators' AVSEC systems, nor does it take control away from them.
Each organisation keeps its own scope, data and decisions.
Access remains compartmentalised — including for authorities.
What the authority manages is its own oversight activity: audits, inspections, findings, follow-up and actions.
Oversight is consolidated. Responsibilities remain distinct.
You remain the authority.
STRACKLE organises requirements, data, deadlines, relationships and evidence.
It replaces neither the appropriate authority, nor its inspectors, nor their professional judgement.
It gives them a structured view of the national AVSEC system to prepare, conduct, steer and demonstrate their oversight activities.
The platform structures.
The authority decides.
AVSEC oversight, STRACK by STRACK.
Regulations, programmes, inspections, equipment, findings and corrective actions: your national oversight system depends on the links between them.
STRACKLE brings them together within one governance framework — from the international standard to implementation in the field.
You oversee the national AVSEC system. Without losing sight of the field.
Let's talk about your oversight system.
