Which two organizations must develop the Airfield Inspection and Checks Operating Instruction?

• A. AFM and NAMO
• B. NAMO and FAA
• C. AFM and FAA
• D. Airfield Operations Division

Answer: (A)

Drafting the Airfield Inspection and Checks Operating Instruction requires input from the team that owns day-to-day airfield safety procedures and the team that coordinates maintenance and asset management. The Airfield Management group (AFM) knows exactly what inspections must be performed, how often, and how to record findings to keep runways, taxiways, lighting, and markings in safe condition. NAMO handles asset management and maintenance coordination, ensuring inspection results trigger timely repairs and are integrated into scheduling and resource planning. Together, they produce a practical, enforceable instruction that reflects both operational safety needs and maintenance requirements. External regulators like the FAA set overarching standards, but installation-specific instructions come from internal collaboration, not from regulatory bodies.
