Erika Billen Brussels, Eurocontrol, May )Approach to implementation (1/2) Contribution to development of ADQ IR Creation of national AIS platform : Civil AIS, Mil AIS, data originators, BCAA Organization of awareness workshop : Inform all Annex 14 certified aerodromes Identification of necessary changes to national legal framework to make implementation possible Lining up with ICAO Annex 15 amendments and EU legislation (SES, EASA)

Erika Billen Brussels, Eurocontrol, May )Approach to implementation (2/2) Contribution to ADQ RWG : getting better understanding, sharing views, tackle issues in a common effort Contribution to Eurocontrol Specifications (eAIP, single AIP, Data Quality Requirements, Data Assurance Levels, Aeronautical Data Origination, Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) Preparation of call for tender for obstacle database (aerodrome part and area 1 State part) AISP action plan for implementation of ADQ Participation in e-TOD WG

Erika Billen Brussels, Eurocontrol, May )Lessons learned Involvement of ALL affected parties (originators, aerodromes, AISPs, legal service, budget service) Taking the lead in facilitating the communication between affected parties Investment in understanding deeply the content and the work to do and taking into account the impact on affected parties Investment in public relations Never forget the final goal : improve safety by better quality of data and information

Erika Billen Brussels, Eurocontrol, May )Difficulties / Concerns Complexity of the matter and subsequently difficulty to feed-back towards political decision making level Necessity to adapt out-of-date national legal framework Limited resources and budget to pay obstacle database and other actions to implement ADQ IR

Erika Billen Brussels, Eurocontrol, May )Best practices National AIS platform Awareness workshop Call for tenders Working together with other delegates

Erika Billen Brussels, Eurocontrol, May )Oversight Before July 2013 Ongoing oversight audits are not yet focused on the ADQ IR A follow up of the ADQ Implementation Plan is performed (voluntary partnership between the AISP and the BCAA) After July 2013 ADQ IR will be integrated in the general ongoing oversight program

Erika Billen Brussels, Eurocontrol, May )Audit practices – Oversight Methodology The same methodology is applied as for the safety oversight of ANSPs. The verification process consists of 2 non- overlapping phases : A document review to verify that the arrangements established by the applicant cover and meet the requirements, at least in theory An on-site audit to verify that the arrangements established by the applicant are actually implemented and applied in practice.

Erika Billen Brussels, Eurocontrol, May )Open issues on international level The oversight of Data Originators other than AISPs is not yet integrated in the national legal framework : roles, responsibilities, who is competent authority ? (e.g. NGI, aerodrome surveyors, military surveyors contributing to collection of civil AIS data) Oversight of non-national counterparts in the data chain : impossible to regulate non – Belgian parties on national level Implementation of eTOD together with ADQ IR not easy to handle for individual States alone => Urgent need for an international approach : internationally binding legal material to cope with these issues (EC, EASA, FAB, …)
