Strategic Plan: 2008 - 2012

SACAA Mandate
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) is an agency of the Department of Transport (DoT) and as a result, its activities are governed by a performance agreement signed between the Board of Directors and the Minister of Transport. Its mandate, defined more fully in the South African Civil Aviation Authority Act No. 40 of 1998, can be summarised as follows:
“Regulating the civil aviation industry to ensure security and safety by complying with International Civil Aviation Organisation ( ICAO) and taking into consideration the local context.”
Background of SACAA Development
The Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) was established on 1 October 1998 following the enactment of the South African Civil Aviation Authority Act, No 40, in September of the same year. The Act provided for the establishment of a stand-alone authority charged with promoting, regulating and enforcing civil aviation and security standards.
The creation of the SACAA reflected the Government’s then priorities of policy development, economic restructuring, addressing social inequalities and reducing the burden on the general taxpayer, by expanding the application of the “user pays” system.
In terms of its enabling legislation, the SACAA is mandated to generate its funding requirements from mainly from user fees, a charge on departing scheduled passengers and a fuel levy payable by the general aviation industry. Another significant income stream stems from charges for various services of the organisation egaircraft registration, pilots examination and registration, various licensing activities etc. The following has been the revenue component of the SACAA.
Sources of Revenue:
Safety Charge 77% User Fees 21.5% Fuel Levy 1.5%Dept of Transport 3% (Accident Investigation)
Strategic Plan Development Process
The Management of the SACAA has developed the Strategic Plan and is submitting to the Board as a discussion document to solicit input and further incorporate such in the final Strategic Plan. It is hoped that the next Strategic Plan development process will be handled more efficiently due to continuity
Financial Plan
The authority has budgeted an increase of Passenger Safety Levy of R2.00 from the 1st of April 2009 bringing the total levy to R12.00 per passenger ticket. The same levy is set to increase from the 1st of April 2011 by a further R1.30 bringing the total Passenger Safety Charge to R13.30 per ticket.
The Financial Plan has been based on the increase in passenger activity of 8% in the 2010 financial year, 15% in the FIFA 2010 World Cup year, and finally 8% on the 2012 year based on the first year (2010). These assumptions result in operating losses for all the three years, however Interest Income brings the Net Income to positive balances throughout the budgeted years. It is important to note that although the three years are budgeted at an operating loss, cash flows will remain positive a result of high depreciation figures.
The additional capacity increase of Inspectors for the FIFA 2010 World Cup is expected to cost the Authority R12m in 2011 and R14m during the subsequent year.
Part of the financial burden results from a cost under recovery of Accidents and Incident Investigation, a function SACAA administers on behalf of the Department of Transport. The budgeted income for the current year DoT subsidy is R7.5m, however total expenses for the seven months to date are R5,8m excluding communication costs and rent. At this rate there will be an under recovery of R2,5m with an all inclusive possible cost under recovery of R3,5m. Discussion with the DoT are being undertaken to fully recover these expenses.

The CompanyThe South African Civil Aviation Authority is a Schedule III company with a total staff compliment of 384 and a forecast turnover of over R200m for the year ending March 2009.Since inception the company has had a high turnover of Executive Management which led inter alia to a lack of adequate technical resources to provide the required industry oversight as required by international agreements. This resulted in international compliance challenges in 2007 that threatened the downgrading of South Africa’s Category 1 status by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Such an action would have had severe implications for the economy and the FIFA 2010 World Cup.The international compliance challenge meant that a major recruitment drive had to be undertaken in order to fill various vacant posts with skilled personnel. Unpaid overtime had to be taken by dedicated employees in order to cover for lost time during the unproductive years. Consequently this hard work yielded dividends when the organization was officially notified by FAA in October 2008 that it had maintained its Category 1 Status. This success was achieved with direct assistance from the Minister of Transport, who appointed a Task Team to steer the many if the initiatives required.The last eighteen months have been focused on passing audits International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the FAA, as a result systems and processes were less prioritized. The era has come to improve these systems and processes in order to be the best regulator in the world. To achieve this objective the company is implementing a Balanced Scorecard system. The company further believes that it is values like Commitment, Responsibility, Accountability, Consistency, Knowledge Sharing, Integrity and Transparency will improve service excellence and consequently contribute to the vision.As a regulator the organization is made up of various divisions, some purely technical and others supportive. Technical Departments

Finance and Information TechnologyRisk, Compliance, Exams & LicencingHuman ResourcesLegalStrategy and Corporate CommunicationsStrategic FocusThe strategic focus is on the technical departments with other departments playing a supportive role. To ensure delivery, all the divisions are covered in detail by the new Balanced Scorecard that forms the basis of detailed divisional plans that reconcile to the Strategic Plan. The Performance Management system is the implementation tool of the strategy.Human Resource PlanningIn comparison to national demographics, the SACAA has under employed Africans by 16% and over employed White Males by 18%. This position exists because of the aforementioned need to employ pilots and technicians who are qualified and experienced on all the types of aircraft currently on the South African Aircraft Register, in order to conduct oversight in accordance with Conventions on International Civil Aviation, to which South Africa is a signatory. These skills have traditionally been the domain of white males and are also in great demand word-wide as is evidenced on the section on International Benchmarking. Recruitment and internal training efforts are actively geared to address these imbalances wherever possible in accordance with the requirements of the Employment Equity Act. To this end, 6.5% of payroll has been allocated for training of employees, which is more than double the national average.Technology PlanSACAA is in the process of developing the full Technology Plan. The current plan will be revised once this exercise has been completed. Part of the Systems intended to be procured in the next financial year is the Executive Dashboard, Safety Management System, Surveillance System and a Quality Management System.

Organisational Overview – SWOT Analysis
In order to comprehend SACAA’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, a table is presented below. Most of the weaknesses and threats have been addressed through the Balanced Scorecard as referenced in the table. Management believes in such a coordinated approach in eliminating these threats and weaknesses. Much still needs to be done in the pursuit of maximizing current strengths and opportunities.
88South African Civil Aviation Authority
Strategic Plan: 2008 - 2012
In the recent International Civil Aviation Organization audit results, SACAA performed well above international standards in the technical areas. Although there are challenges in the areas of Technical Personnel Qualification & Training, Surveillance Obligations, and Resolution of Safety Concerns. The international aviation community seems to be experiencing greater challenges in the same areas. These results make the 2012 vision of being the best regulator a serious possibility.

ICAO CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Organisational Overview – Level of Compliance
Despite current ICAO compliance status on the eight critical elements, a lot still needs to be accomplished to realize the new vision of being the best regulator. The table below indicates significant improvement within a year in areas of Qualified Technical Personnel and CAA Structure & Safety Oversight Functions. However areas such as Primary Aviation Legislation have a long lead time as they are dependent on parliamentary procedures that have similar time frames, this cycle could extend to 18 months.

Organisational Overview – Accident Category
A review of the March 2008 Incident Category indicates various causes of incidents and accidents in the general aviation sector. Most of the recent accidents reported in the media belong to this category. In a view to reduce these Incidents and Accidents by 50% in 2012, the Authority has gathered industry role players through the General Aviation Safety Initiative (GASI) to suggest ways to drastically improve the country’s safety record. This requires a fresh outlook of challenges by the industry, to be implemented by the same industry. South Africa still maintains a good record within the scheduled category.

Organisational Overview – Industry Environment
Technical skills, namely pilots and maintenance engineers, are in great demand by countries from the East and Middle East. Serious concerns regarding the exodus of these skills have been raised in various fora including the media.
A recent research by the SACAA revealed that there is a healthy distribution of professional pilots (ATP’s and Com’s) throughout the industry. Meanwhile such results are positive for the country, more needs to be done to retain such scarce skills. The attached schedules shows a healthy distribution of pilots in the industry from an age perspective.The current healthy distribution of the
ages of professional Pilots throughout the industry has to be compared with the entrants of the industry. The same recent research by the Authority revealed a high number of entrants in the industry between the ages of 21 and 29 as tabulated in the adjacent Commercial Pilots table. This means that there is growing interest in the industry to supply future Pilot needs of the country.
It must be stressed that although the situation is encouraging, more needs to be done to counter any possible massive exodus in future. A further breakdown of Commercial Pilot holders according to race and gender would give valuable insight of the industry.

Organisational Overview – Risk
In late 2008 the following Top 7 Risks were identified with the assistance of the internal auditors. These were initially scored at a potential 20, however after considering mitigating factors these were later scored lower as indicated in the table. At the point of identification, management had already assigned responsible persons to address these risks as tabulated in the Balanced Scorecard.
1313South African Civil Aviation Authority
Strategic Plan: 2008 - 2012
The strategic development and roll out process is expected to follow the tabulated sequence. Ideally the strategic session should have included the new inputs from the Board. Management used existing mandate and prior Board Objectives in developing the current Strategic Plan. It is expected that the current Board will provide input to the current strategy and adjustments incorporated in the final Strategic Plan. It is anticipated that the next Strategic Plan will be handled better after having cleared teething problems.

Historical Background
The SACAA has in the past developed a number of strategic plans. All of these plans lacked the Balanced Scorecard that ensures delivery of key performance areas. This situation meant that although there were noble objectives accomplished in a less structured environment, an era has come where a more coordinated effort has to be applied to improve service delivery, efficiencies, development of the organization and drastic reduction of accidents.
The current Strategic Plan offers a structured approach in pursuit of achieving organizational goals.
Strategic Process
In a strategic session in June 2008, the Executive Management of SACAA developed a new vision in cognizance of the milestones covered and the challenges that lay ahead. This process was administered by an external consultant in order to ensure objectivity and progress. The exercise culminated in the development of the Strategic Map and the organization's Balanced Scorecard.
Subsequently divisional scorecards have been developed in line with the organization's and consequently the executive management scorecards adjusted. This process is being cascaded to employees and for the first time the employee’s performance to the organization's are being synchronised.
Strategic Approach
The approach in compiling the 2009 -2012 Strategic Plan is that it had to be concise and yet articulate in its goals. As a result the technical department’s oversight activities and capacity are a significant feature. This approach does not compromise overall organization delivery as the Balanced Scorecard is designed specifically to harness technical and administrative roles.
The Strategic Plan includes oversight activities and capacity, however supporting detailed divisional plans exist separate from it.
1414South African Civil Aviation Authority
Strategic Plan: 2008 - 2012
HISTORIC OBJECTIVES
1 Set civil aviation safety and security standards and regulate industry compliance in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and global best practice.
2 Facilitate aviation industry functioning, development and growth by participating in joint forum, making safety and security recommendations and promoting safety and security through campaigns and information dissemination.
3 Build effective organization systems and processes in order to ensure financial stability, good corporate governance and performance excellence that meet or exceed government and industry expectations
4 Ensuring growing customer satisfaction by creating a knowledge-based and customer-focused organization
5 Attract, develop and retain skilled human capital
Strategy – Five Previous Objectives
The Current SACAA Board was appointed in May 2008. The previous Board was appointed in April 2005 and in late 2006 developed the tabulated objectives and consequently the 2007/8 and 2008/9 strategic plans were based on these objectives.
A revised strategic session of the SACAA Executive Committee in July 2008 developed the vision, “to be a world leader”. From this vision customer deliverables as indicated in the following Strategic Map were mapped out. These deliverables were then grouped in basic four logical areas giving rise to the following new strategic objectives.
The major difference of the new objectives is that there are much clearer and concise. This has resulted in the reorganization of the second and fourth objectives, the rest remain the same in content. Customer satisfaction is no longer a separate deliverable, it is the output of meeting key performance objectives. The adjacent first two objectives have been combined to “Improving aviation safety.” Finally, in spirit the four new objectives have not departed from the original ones, but these have been better organized to allow for adherence to new statutory reporting requirements and better accountability on the Balanced Scorecard.

STRATEGIC MAP DISCUSSION
Strategic Impact
The impact of the 2009/10 strategy is the current vision of the organization, that is to be a credible and dynamic world class civil aviation regulator. This vision will be achieved by maximum possible compliance with ICAO, maintaining FAA Category 1 status and reducing the general aviation fatality rate by 50%.
Strategic Map Development
In the development of the strategic map in June 2008, management had to outline deliverables that would have to be accomplished in order to realise the new vision.
The first segment was dedicated to actions that need to be taken in order to satisfy customers and consequently achieve the vision. The customers referred to in this section are targeted external stake holders of the organization. These customers include DoT, Pilots, AMOs, ATOs, Aircraft Owners, Airlines, Media etc
The second segment of the Strategic Map focuses on the internal processes that make it possible to deliver on the stake holders referred to in the first paragraph. Without a concerted effort towards these processes, it is almost impossible to deliver a good service externally.
The third segment covers developmental imperatives where issues of employee capacity building and morale are addressed in order to effect changes in the internal processes and provide a good service to the external stake holders.
The financial aspect is the final category of the organization that is necessary to realize the vision.
All the four elements are critical in realising the vision hence they form the four main objectives of the Balanced Scorecard.

This is regulated under Part 121, 135, 127 and 141 where the division performs oversight on operators and relevant training institutions. Another important function of the AvSec department is the direct oversight on airlines and airports in order to prevent unlawful acts of interference. Also new to the stable is General Aviation section intended to regulate the general aviation sector.
Another recent introduction to the stable is Part 108 pertaining to the regulation of air cargo operators. The effective date of implementation is 1 February 2009. The initial phase of application by prospective air cargo operators to become Regulated Agents and Known Consignors has commenced.
Another function of the division is the training and certification of personnel. The department administers Part 109 which deals with Avsec Training including the approval and or accreditation of training organizations.
Certification of personnel in the aviation security industry is regulated under Part 110
Air Safety Infrastructure (ASI)
The ASI division performs various safety oversight functions in the Aviation Infrastructure. One of the main duties is to license Aerodromes under nine regions. In addition, the division issues annual licenses to commercial airports after having successfully concluded oversight duties. Communications, Navigations and Surveillance oversight is also performed on designated airports of the country. ATSU approvals and Surveillance duties are also performed under the Air Traffic Services.
Other Departments
The Technical Departments are supported by the Finance Department, Legal, Human Resources, Risk and Compliance and Strategy and Communications.
Oversight – Technical Departments
TECHNICAL DEPARTMENTS
The SACAA performs its oversight duties through four technical divisions namely Air Safety Operations, Aircraft Safety, Air Safety Infrastructure and Aviation Security. This section will discuss human resources capacity in line with surveillance requirements within these technical divisions. First, a summary of each of the technical divisions’ activities is given.
Air Safety Operations (ASO)
The ASO division performs oversight on scheduled fixed wing aircraft under part 121 and 135. Helicopters and Flight Schools are administered under Part 127 and 141. Testing Standards within the ASO division administers Pilot exams for both the entry level Commercial Pilots and the more advanced ATPs.
Another important function of ASO is the Flight Inspection Unit (FIU) that calibrates navigation equipment. As additional service to the airlines and DFE’s, AvMed department of ASO, regulates the medical aspect of these institutions.
Aircraft Safety (AS)
The AS division’s major role is to license air craft and perform oversight activities on Aircraft Maintenance Organizations or similar institutions. Other active departments within the division are Certification, Management and Standards Development and Certification Engineering. The division is poised to introduce Defect Reporting & Technical Agreements and Aviation Environment Protection.
The AS division provides technical assistance to the ASO division in performing its oversight role in order to issue AOCs. This coordinated effort is important in order to provide comprehensive oversight on DFEs.
Aviation Security (AVSEC)
The AVSEC department provides security oversight in various areas. One of the important functions is to ensure safe transportation of dangerous goods.

Oversight – Air Safety Operations
The Oversight capacity of the Flight Inspection Unit is at 65 Inspectors with the total number rising to 73 in 2009 and stabilizing at 83. This steady increase is attributable to the projected increase in activity resulting in proportionate increase in oversight capacity. While there has been aggressive recruitment, the employee turnover in this area is quite high due to the global demand for the Inspector skills/Pilot skills. This situation has been worsened by the slow recruitment cycle due to uncontrollable circumstances. The current Inspector figures indicate that more stringent measures need to be implemented to retain skills within SACAA.

Oversight – Air Safety Operations
Oversight Plan Oversight Assumptions
The Air Safety Operations (ASO) Division performs oversight on all of the 10 ATOs tabulated in the oversight plan. The SACAA intends to conduct a minimum of 1 audit per annum on all DFEs & DEs that are performing Designated Examiner duties at the relevant Airlines/ATOs. The attached summary Surveillance plan captures a high level scenario with detailed plans available at the division.
*DFE - Designated Flight Examiner (Pilots) - designated by the Commissioner (SACAA) in terms of Section 5 (4)(b) of the Aviation Act & CARs Part 61.36
**DE - Designated Examiner (Cabin) - designated by the Commissioner (SACAA) in terms of Section 5 (4)(b) of the Aviation Act & CARs Part 64.01.09
1. Plan based on number of DFEs and DEs as per information received from Aviation Personnel Standards as at 9 October 2008
2. Subsequent attrition/new appointments of DFEs and DEs will be incorporated into this plan accordingly
3. Oversight of South African Airways DFEs are planned during the Airline's Primary Pilot Recurrent assessment period (Jan - June)
4. To ensure that all DFE and DE oversights are completed timeously before 31 December 2009, no DFE or DE oversights are planned for December 2009. This will allow for timeous processing of the renewal applications of all DFEs and DEs. However should there be any oversights not conducted by end November, these outstanding oversights will be conducted in December 2009.

The Aircraft Safety department is the most capacitated division in SACAA as a result of an aggressive recruitment drive initiated late last year coupled with much lower employee turnover rates. Notably new areas requiring Inspectors have been planned for next year including the following FIFA World Cup year. It is expected that the demand for these Inspectors will stabilize after the mentioned global event. The future Inspector requirements are depended on oversight including affordability. There are 63 current Inspectors rising to 78 in March 2010 and finally stabilizing to 86.

Strategic Plan: 2008 - 2012
SACAA has a current employee complement of 386 made up of 63% Africans, 4% Coloureds, 5% Indians and 28% Whites. The Coloured and Indian segments are more or less in line with national demographics. While the Demographics are much closer to broad population representivity than any other organisation in the Aviation Industry in South Africa, segments that differ significantly are Africans being 16% below the national demographic benchmark, and the White segment being 19% above. What is also evident in the attached table is that Black Female Manager numbers including Black Female Professionals numbers need to be improved. Future recruitment will take this situation into account.
Training
The South African Civil Aviation Authority is an organization heavily reliant on human capital due to the nature of the business. As a result, training is a significant component in the normal business operations of the organization.
Part of the significant training costs are based on training of technical personnel in order to adhere to minimum standards required by international organizations like ICAO. In other cases, the industry does not offer formal training in a specific area hence an ICAO or IATA qualification may be sought in order to skill the new recruits as in the case of Aviation Security.
Flight Operations Inspectors very often have to receive conversion and recurrent training offshore, typically in Europe or the USA due to the non-availability of simulators for certain aircraft types being operated on the South Africa Aircraft Register and therefore account for the bulk of the training costs.
The following table indicates the summary training costs budgeted 31 March 2010. Thereafter individual technical training is tabulated indicating the various courses to be undertaken.

Attached is the Aircraft Safety training budget for the current year. During the budget submissions a higher figure was submitted, however, subsequent discussion with the General Manager indicate that the R1,7m total budget will be ideal. A revised schedule reconciling with the attached total has been requested and will be available during the budget discussion with the Board.
It is important to attach this schedule in order to give an idea of the type of courses that are being enrolled by inspectors. Some of the significant courses will be undertaken when new inspectors are recruited. An accurate employee turnover figure can not be determined at this stage in order to inform the impact of natural attrition on training. This is largely due to a major Inspector component that was employed within the last seven months.

The Air Safety Operations training budget accounts for approximately half of the total training budget, due to the high cost of flying training. Fifty eight percent of the budget is required to provide core training and maintenance of proficiency. Airline Transport pilots and Commercial Pilots with Instrument Ratings are required to undergo proficiency checks every 6 months and license renewals flight tests every 12 months.

Financial – Notes to 3 Year Budget
3 year Budget Income Statement (Years 1 to 3)General: Operating Costs increase by 17% 2008/09 FY to 2009/10 FY, driven by the additional staff required for oversight in the approved employment plan. In the following two years, costs increases are in line with projected inflation.Notes to the Statement:1. User fees have been increased by 10% per annum2. The Safety Charge has been increased by multiplying the projected passenger numbers received
from ACSA by the Projected Safety Charge which is R12.00 in Year 1, R12.00 in Year 2 and R13.30 in Year 3. Increased passenger activity in year 2 is due to the hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup by South Africa, hence no need to increase the Safety Charge. Approval will have to be obtained from the DoT and Treasury for these increased charges.
3. The General Aviation Fuel Levy has been increased by 10% per annum4. The Dept of Transport Income ceases in Year 2 when the Aviation Safety Investigation Board
becomes totally independent5. Salaries have been increased by 11% per annum and provision made for additional inspectors
and support staff being employed6. Training has been set at 6.5% of Payroll per annum7. Office rentals and maintenance has been increased by the projected annual rental increase of
12% per annum8. Communication (which includes mailing printing and mailing of official documents to all aircrew
and maintenance personnel has been increased by 13% per annum. All expenditure in the Non Staff Category not noted has been increased by 13% per annum
9. Public Relations Expenditure in Year 1 has been adjusted for once-off expensed in 2008 and inflated by 13% in years 2 and 3.
10. Depreciation has been increased by 25% per annum to allow for new CapEx write-off11. International Consultancy fees have been terminated in years 2 and 3 as the ICAO expert work
should have been completed
