1 Introduction The EU-South Asia Aviation Partnership Project is funded by the European Union and implemented by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 1 to develop partnership with South Asia, improve safety and enhance environmental protection / climate change action in the field of civil aviation. To avoid duplication, the project coordinates with and will support the regional Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Programme for South Asia (COSCAP-SA) 2. COSCAP-SA has carried out a detailed needs analysis for the region together with the South Asia states, as presented at its 25 th Steering Committee Meeting of 19-21 July 2016. The South Asian Regional Initiative (SARI) 3 is COSCAP-SA s technical arm for regional regulatory harmonisation. SARI has chosen EU (EASA) regulations as the basis for SARI regulations. Its current scope covers airworthiness, and some member states are extending this into the fields of flight operations and flight crew licensing. This proposed activity plan for 2017 is based on the initial needs expressed by COSCAP-SA and the South Asian states and is submitted for the review of the states. It is hoped to receive endorsement of the plan as a whole from the COSCAP-SA / SARI states at a SARI steering committee meeting to be held in Bangkok on Wednesday 8 February 2017. For operational reasons some activities may start beforehand, as agreed with the states concerned. 2 Focal points The focal points regarding this initiative are: Organisation Contact Role E-mail address COSCAP-SA Capt.

3 Initial training needs analysis A number of sources were used in developing the matrix of courses which would be included in this Joint Activity Plan for 2017, including the COSCAP-SA Master Training Matrix, the COSCAP-SA Prioritising of Courses 2016-2017 document and specific requests made to EASA. Based on all of the information available, a total of 30 course deliveries across 20 topics have been identified. As determined by COSCAP-SA, the courses will be specific to the fields of AIR, OPS and PEL. Unless a course is being delivered which is specific to a certain state (predominantly OJT courses), all titles will be made available to all of the beneficiary states.
