1. Concepts of Tiered Approach to Recognition of other MAAs By Mr Stew Nicol, MRM-DREGR-DGTA (Please read notes page associated with each slide) Filed as DGTA-ADF Objective: U4493685

2. Recognition – When? ProductServiceInformation Foreign military aircraft visits Passenger / crew on foreign aircraft From other MAA or MAA certified agency Interfaces

3. 3 Tiered Approach Tier One Tier Two Tier Three Systems, structure and over sight Services, and Information Type, and specific requirements

4. High level Interfaces Interface (or service) Hundreds of Interfaces, but only 34 high level interfaces, covering all possible MAA interfaces

5. Tier 2 / 3 – Service & Type Agreements Direct & Enabling Interface Expectations (Potential) Benefit Interface (or service) Tier 1 - High Level Principles Master Interface List Expectations Direct Enabling Specific Common

6. Tiered Approach Concept Hi Level (Systems) Principles Quest Set Service Agreements Type Agreements Hi Level Process ASIC Capstone Documents National Responses Tier 1 Systems Level Tier 2 Service Level Tier 3 Type Level ASIC AIRSTDs NATO STANAGs MOUs Contracts Recognition documents

8. Tiered Approach Process - Tier 2 & 3

9. Tiered Approach Features Tier One not aircraft type specific All possible MAA interfaces considered All interface expectations disclosed One Question set used for all MAAs All questions answered in self assessments, traffic lights applied and responses disclosed Other MAA responses reviewed and recognition statements and conditions disclosed No MAA expected to change systems Only one desk top audit per MAA at tier one All participating MAAs must commit to Tier 2 interoperability agreements, eg utilising existing ASIC / NATO interoperability management systems Compliance audits only at Tier 2 and 3 (service and type) agreements Standard periodic review of recognition process and documents Tier one assessment and review only needed once for each MAA Services and benefits realised through Tier 2 & 3 agreements

11. Advantages of Tiered Approach MAAs retain sovereignty, and not expected to change systems developing best practice close alignment with current MAA recognition initiatives caters for all MAA interfaces not just technical only 1 Tier 1 systems level review and desk top audit per MAA allows MAAs to apply and amend overlays on services from other MAAs without need to renegotiate recognition agreements utilises existing Interoperability management systems and resources low on-going resource management costs once established establishes common and enduring requirements allows for additional MAAs without need for changes allows for addition of new service level (tier 2) agreements without need to renegotiate recognition agreements only one set of requirements for each (Tier 2) topic-specific agreement better visibility of agreements and justification or requirements enables trust to be placed in cascading decisions made by other MAAs improved management and accountability associated with foreign aircraft visits could be used to recognise other MAAs / NAAs outside of ASIC
