snoop1130 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 PM urges Thais to be proud of margin by which country passed recent ICAO inspection By The Nation Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday said Thais should be proud that the country had passed an inspection by the International Civil Aviation Organisation [ICAO] with a higher score than standard. An ICAO team, which conducted an inspection of Thailand’s civil aviation standard from May 13-22, said the country had achieved an effective implementation of standards score of 65.07 per cent. The minimum pass threshold set by the United Nations’ aviation watchdog is 60 per cent. “The score is high and should be regarded as an example that we follow the rules and regulations of the ICAO. Everyone should be proud, [along] with me,” the PM said. The ICAO had put a red flag on Thailand in 2015, and raised 33 significant safety concerns after checking aviation safety standards. The red flag was removed in October 2017.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) said the FAA has identified 26 defects that must be resolved for the US agency to upgrade Thailand’s safety rating to Category 1. The upgrade is required for Thai carriers to begin flights to the US or codeshare with US airlines.

graemeaylward Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 This is typical of the Thai Education system! If the pass mark in anything is 60% and someone gets 61%, that is a GREAT success, 62% is FANTASTIC, 63% is an AMAZING achievement, etc, etc! Meanwhile in the real world 65% is seen as scraping through and 90% would be seen as good! :-)Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaiyen Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Why is the PM proud about it ? It has been during his time as PM that the safety standard has been way below standard and he done nothing about it ! So who should take the small amount of credit for the change ?? Certainly not the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
