AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION
(a) The object of aeronautical information services is to ensure the flow of aeronautical data and aeronautical information necessary for global air traffic management (ATM) system safety, regularity, economy and efficiency in an environmentally sustainable manner.
(b) The role and importance of aeronautical data and aeronautical information changed significantly with the implementation of area navigation (RNAV), performance-based navigation (PBN), airborne computer-based navigation systems, performance-based communication (PBC), performance-based surveillance (PBS), data link systems and satellite voice communications (SATVOICE). Corrupt, erroneous, late, or missing aeronautical data and aeronautical information can potentially affect the safety of air navigation.
(c) Guidance material on the organisation and operation of aeronautical information services is contained in ICAO Doc 8126 ‘Aeronautical Information Services Manual’.
AIS.OR.105 Responsibilities of aeronautical information services (AIS) providers
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/469
An AIS provider shall ensure the provision of aeronautical data and aeronautical information necessary for the safety, regularity and efficiency of air navigation.
An AIS provider shall receive, collate or assemble, edit, format, publish, store and distribute aeronautical data and aeronautical information concerning the entire territory of a Member State as well as those areas over the high seas in which the Member State is responsible for the provision of air traffic services.
An AIS provider shall ensure that aeronautical data and aeronautical information are available for:
(1) personnel involved in flight operations, including flight crews, flight planning, and flight simulators;
(2) ATS providers responsible for flight information service, and
(3) the services responsible for pre-flight information.
An AIS provider shall provide 24-hour services for NOTAM origination and issuance in its area of responsibility and for pre-flight information needed in relation to route stages originating at the aerodrome/heliport in its area of responsibility.
An AIS provider shall make available to other AIS providers aeronautical data and aeronautical information required by them.
An AIS provider shall ensure that procedures are in place to assess and mitigate safety risks to aviation arising from data and information errors.
An AIS provider shall clearly indicate that aeronautical data and aeronautical information provided for and on behalf of a Member State are provided under the authority of that Member State, irrespective of the format in which it is provided.

ED Decision 2020/008/R
AVAILABILITY OF AERONAUTICAL DATA AND AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION
An AIS provider is not obliged to provide data or information requested by other AIS providers when they are not available.
GM1 AIS.OR.105(1) Responsibilities of aeronautical information services (AIS) providers
ED Decision 2020/008/R
PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN FLIGHT OPERATIONS, INCLUDING FLIGHT CREWS, FLIGHT PLANNING, AND FLIGHT SIMULATORS
The data services (DAT) providers are considered as one of the entities or parties listed in AIS.OR.105(1). They also receive, assemble, translate, select, format, distribute and/or integrate aeronautical data and information that are released by an authoritative source for use in aeronautical databases on certified aircraft application/equipment.
GM1 AIS.OR.105(3) Responsibilities of aeronautical information services providers
ED Decision 2020/008/R
SERVICES RESPONSIBLE FOR PRE-FLIGHT INFORMATION
An AIS provider obtains aeronautical data and aeronautical information to provide pre-flight information service and to meet the need for in-flight information from:
(a) the aeronautical information services of other States;
(b) other sources that may be available.
