Addressing ADQ
Regulatory requirement:
Reg.(EU) 1035/2011 Annex IV:

2. WORKING METHODS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
Providers of aeronautical information services shall be able to demonstrate that their working methods and operating procedures are compliant with the standards in:

S.1.5.

8. with some options for derogation
Addressing ADQ
What we can address at the NSA level :
Whether this requirement was checked during “certification or recertification process of ANSP”
Important issue is the applicability of Reg.(EU) 73/2010
Reg.(EU) 73/2010 applies
with some options for derogation
2013
2014
1 July 2013
NSA should verify compliance during certification of new ANSP (AISP)
or recertification of existing ANSP (AISP)
28/03/2017
S.1.5.

9. with some options for derogation
Addressing ADQ
Or whether it was addressed during the on-going oversight cycle
Reg.(EU) 73/2010 applies
with some options for derogation
2013
2014
NSA should verify compliance during oversight cycle in case of no need of certification or recertification of AISP
Note:
Oversight cycles is define in art.7§3(d) of Reg. (EU) 1034/2011
“ensure that sufficient audits are conducted over a period of 2 years to check the compliance of all these organisations with applicable safety regulatory requirements in all the relevant areas of the functional system”
Important all depends on NSA planning of two years period, when it starts and when AIS part is addressed.

10. What we can address at ANSP level :
Addressing ADQ
What we can address at ANSP level :
WORKING METHODS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
We will sample and check whether working methods and operating procedures are addressing the applicable requirements stemming from Reg.(EU) 73/2010 for AISP
E.g. Art.7§2
Aeronautical information service providers shall ensure that aeronautical data and aeronautical information items published in the AIP of their Member State are annotated to indicate those that do not meet the data quality requirements laid down in this Regulation.
If not “UNC” will be raised and the CA/NSA will have to solve it
