The oversight checklist described in Staff Instruction (SI) 139-01 did not include an item to verify if the airport operator had procedures in place to identify obstacles in Area 3. This omission led to the airport operator lacking a procedure to identify and measure obstacles in Area 3. In addition, the DGCA inspector’s methodology to ensure the availability of data/information that must be reported to AIS and included in the AIP was relied on comparing the information written in the aerodrome manual with the AIP data. If the data matched, the DGCA inspector would assume that all required data/information had been appropriately forwarded to the AIS. This approach provided no assurance for identifying Area 3 obstacles and considered insufficient in identifying the absence information about the new apron floodlighting as an Area 3 obstacle in the AIP.Therefore, KNKT recommends the DGCA review the SI 139-01 to ensure that the oversight checklist includes item to verify if the airport operator implements procedures to identify obstacles in Area 3 and include it in the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP)
