Abstract

With the acceleration of globalization and the sustained prosperity of the civil aviation industry, safe operations, service quality, and market order have become core issues concerning national strategy and public interest. Faced with the contradiction between the industry's rapid development and limited regulatory resources, an extensive regulatory model struggles to address complex and dynamic risk characteristics. This paper establishes an indicator system and evaluation methodology encompassing safety operation status, administrative management effectiveness, and specialized regulatory quality, grounded in the core positioning of civil aviation regulatory auditing and integrating quality management and risk management theories. By identifying existing issues in current auditing practices—such as insufficient system coordination and uneven resource allocation—this study proposes a comprehensive optimization strategy covering system enhancement, scientific resource allocation, methodological innovation, and team development. This strategy aims to elevate regulatory effectiveness and advance the high-quality, safe development of the civil aviation industry.
