1. (U) This is an action cable. Please see paragraph 2 and 5 for
details.
2. (U) During an April 7 lunch with Emboffs, Directors Denise Abreu
and Leur Lomanto of the newly created National Civil Aviation Agency
(ANAC) asked that the FAA extend a formal invitation to ANAC
representatives for May consultations in Washington and Miami. The
purpose of their trip would to be to introduce themselves, to
explain how ANAC will work and to explore areas of mutual
cooperation. While they had planned on an April trip to the US, the
deepening VARIG crisis necessitated a delay (septel).
3. (SBU) The regulators explained that a formal invitation would
help them to justify GOB funding of their trip to their superiors.
This would be their first formal trip to see foreign aviation
regulation authorities since taking office in March 2006.
4. (U) ANAC was formally inaugurated in a March 20 ceremony in
Brasilia and replaces the Department of Civil Aviation (DAC),
subsuming all responsibilities for regulations, authorizations and
registrations. ANAC will also take over the duties of certifying
aircraft, currently performed by the Aerospace Technical Center
(CTA) in the Air Force Command. The agency will be headquartered in
Brasilia. DAC will heretofore focus on policy and air-traffic
control.
5. (U) ACTION REQUESTED: Post recommends that FAA respond to this
request positively. We have a real opportunity to forge strong ties
with Brazil's nascent aviation regulator.
