If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: DGAC WELCOMES FAA IASA REASSESSMENT 
 
REF: STATE 191200 
 
1.  As requested in Reftel, we met with Roberto Rodriguez, 
Director General of Civil Aviation, and Juan Crovetto, 
Director of Aviation Security, on October 20 to discuss the 
impending FAA International Aviation Safety Assessment 
(IASA) and deliver the letter from James Ballough. 
Rodriguez noted that he had been expecting an assessment, 
since Peru has faced some serious aviation issues, including 
the collapse of Drug Kingpin Fernando Zevallos' 
AeroContinente and the fatal TANS crash in September, since 
the last FAA IASA three years ago. 
 
2.  Rodriguez suggested that the week of December 5 would be 
the best time for the FAA assessment; it enables people to 
travel for the Thanksgiving holiday and allows the 
Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) to review the 
FAA's areas of concerns.  Rodriguez also highlighted that 
the DGAC requested a separate International Civil Aviation 
Organization (ICAO) audit to review the TANS crash. 
 
3.  Both Rodriguez and Crovetto will contact FAA Miami's 
office of International Inspections directly.  The DGAC is 
confident that Peru will maintain its Category I status.
