Do Rampa Inspections require notice to the Operator?

No, notice is never made and this is not required. By the very definition and nature of the Rampa Inspectorate, which consists of a: ‘on-site inspection, not notified in advance, carried out on an aircraft in the movement area (usually at a platform or aerodrome) of an airport or aerodrome, during the course of its normal operation between flights and without interfering as far as possible with it’, this inspection is never notified in advance, since one of its objectives is to check the operation of the aircraft under normal conditions, so that notice to the operator could lead to possible preparation of the aircraft in the expectation of the inspection, which would alter the purpose of the inspection.
