10. ADQ Regulators Working Group (ARWG)
Established in February 2011
“An opportunity to create synergies among the national bodies (Regulators, NSAs, CAAs) involved in the oversight of the implementation of the Regulation (EU) 73/2010 (ADQ) and it is believed to be a crucial contribution to achieve a common understanding of the provisions of the regulation.”
2/3 meetings per year
21 States already represented
Tour de Table
ADQ Implementation Support Cell

11. Legal issues identified Common understanding achieved
VFR Aerodromes
data related with VFR Aerodromes, even if published in the AIP, is outside the scope of the ADQ IR.
Data Protection
allow the implementation of data integrity protection through the use of alternative and equivalent standards other than the CRC32Q
Scope of the Regulation
quantifiable data quality requirements for accuracy, resolution and integrity, as required by Article 6(1), apply only to a sub-set of data items. However, the scope of the remaining provisions shall include all of the aeronautical data and aeronautical information that is referenced on the second sub-paragraph of Article 2(1)
Possible modifications
collected a list of possible modifications to the Regulation, mainly references and definitions
Terrain Exchange Formats
recognised that the existing formats do not fully meet the requirements of the ISO series as required by ADQ
endorsed the activity of the TOD WG in identifying the user preferred terrain formats
ADQ Implementation Support Cell

12. Legal issues identified Under discussion
NOTAMs
“Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 apply to the NOTAM, except when to do so will inhibit the distribution of aeronautical information necessary to ensure the safety of flight.”
Provision of eTOD
provided by non-regulated parties (e.g. geo institutes)
ADQ inhibiting the provision of eTOD
