DAT.OR.200 Reporting requirements

Regulation (EU) 2017/373

(a) The DAT provider shall:

(1) report to the customer and, where applicable, the equipment design approval holder all the cases where aeronautical databases have been released by the DAT provider and have been subsequently identified to have deficiencies and/or errors, thus not meeting the applicable data requirements.;

(2) report to the competent authority the deficiencies and/or errors identified according to point (1), which could lead to an unsafe condition. Such reports shall be made in a form and manner acceptable to the competent authority;

(4) report to the aeronautical data source provider instances of erroneous, inconsistent or missing data in the aeronautical source.

(b) The DAT provider shall establish and maintain an internal reporting system in the interest of safety to enable the collection and assessment of reports in order to identify adverse trends or to address deficiencies, and to extract reportable events and actions.

This internal reporting system may be integrated into the management system as required in point ATM/ANS.OR.B.005.
