Description
Background
The objective of Rulemaking Task RMT.0464 is to harmonise the provision of Air Traffic Services throughout the Union and, consequently, to maintain a high and uniform level of safety in aviation.
As an important milestone of this regulatory activity, on 16 September 2016 the Agency has published NPA 2016-09, proposing a comprehensive set of measures (IRs, AMC and GM) to address the provision of Air Traffic Services in the EU; the large majority of these measures is based on the applicable ICAO provisions, in particular those in Annex 11 and PANS ATM, adapted to the EU legislative system and conventions.
As an innovation, the NPA includes also a set of high-level requirements for the provision of Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS), which is not explicitly addressed within the current ICAO framework.
The public consultation for NPA 2016-09, which is available here and is open until 16 January 2017 28 February 2017.
