ED DECISION 2019/004/R 'Remote Tower' Workshop

Date & time
28/05/2019, 09:00 - 18:00

Description
On 19 February 2019 EASA issued ED Decision 2019/004/R on remote aerodrome ATS, better known as 'remote tower operations'. This ED Decision, replacing the existing EASA guidance issued on the subject in 2015, takes into consideration the further evolution of the subject matter R&D activities (e.g. SESAR) and the initial implementation experiences throughout the EU. 

The updated guidance addresses operational, procedural, technological and human resources aspects of remote aerodrome ATS, as well as the management of change, with the main objective of facilitating its safe implementation and operation. It further clarifies specific aspects of the existing AMC/GM related to ATCO licencing (in particular training) and, as a novelty, it introduces initial guidance on various aspects of multiple mode of remote ATS provision.

• To inform stakeholders about the content of the ED Decision 2019/004/R;
