Update Air Traffic Management/ Air Navigation Services (ATM/ANS)
Common requirements for service providers and their Oversight Commission Implementing Regulation (IR) (EU) No 2017/373 was published on 1 st March 2017, repealing Regulation (EC) No 482/2008, and IRs (EU) No 1034/2011, (EU) No 1035/2011 and (EU) 2016/1377, and amending Regulation (EU) No 677/2011.
The regulation amalgamates IRs (EU) No 1034/2011 (Safety Oversight) and (EU) No 1035/2011 (Common Requirements) into a single rule.
It lays down common requirements for:
• The provision of air traffic management and air navigation services (ATM/ANS) and for other ATM network functions, in particular for the legal or natural persons providing those services and functions; and
• For the competent authorities and the qualified entities acting on their behalf, which exercise certification, oversight and enforcement tasks in respect of those services and functions.
Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material for the revised common requirements regulation were published on 8th March 2017.
In June 2018 EASA published an updated version of the Easy Access Rules for Regulation (EU) No 2017/373 which was first published on 22nd November 2017.
Update to EASA Basic Regulation Following EASA’s Opinion 01/2015, Effective of 11th September 2018 (Regulation (EU) No 2018/1139).
The agreed text extends EASA’s mandate to include safety-related aspects of security, such as cybersecurity, and the protection of the environment.
It provides the possibility to establish a mechanism for pooling and sharing of aviation inspectors and other experts.
It also covers new ATM support mechanism for Member States for technical assistance for certification, oversight and enforcement tasks.
EU-wide rules on drones provide the basic principles to ensure safety, security, privacy and protection of data, with an additional provision for EASA to develop more detailed rules through Commission implementing and delegated acts.
