ESSIP Plan 2014 / Objective INF07
2
Explanation (1)
 ICAO Annex 15, Aeronautical Information Services, requires the
States to provide Electronic Terrain and Obstacle Data (TOD) for
their own territory and to announce it in the national AIPs.
 The ESSIP objective has been introduced in order to aid the States
in establishing a robust framework that will ensure the timely
provision of TOD as required by ICAO.
 This ESSIP objective is aimed at ensuring that all States of the
ECAC area provide the required TOD as soon as possible in line
with ICAO Annex 15.
 The operational capability dates indicated in this objective are not
meant to replace, amend or modify in any way the deadline required
by Annex 15 to implement TOD.

Explanation (2)
 TOD is sub-divided into four areas:




Area 1 - the entire territory of a State
Area 2 - the terminal control area
Area 3 - aerodromes/heliport area
Area 4 - CAT II or CAT III operation area.
 States have to assess the existing national regulations and policies,
including the safeguarding of aerodromes and obstacle and allocate
responsibilities.
 States need to create capabilities for the origination, collection,
exchange, management and distribution of the digital terrain and
obstacle information in the form of digital datasets:
 This implies the establishment of efficient and reliable processes (e.g. data
acquisition, cross-border provision, data validation and verification, data
maintenance, data storage, data transmission, and oversight, etc.) to
ensure the provision of up-to-date data.
 Comply with the requirements of EU Regulation 73/2010 on the quality of
aeronautical data and aeronautical information.

Most important SLoA(s)
 INF07-ASP01 Plan the required activities for the collection,
management and provision of TOD in accordance with national TOD
policy.
 INF07-ASP02 Implement the collection, management and provision
of TOD in accordance with the national TOD policy and regulatory
framework.
 INF07-APO01 Plan the required activities for the collection,
management and provision of TOD in accordance with national TOD
policy.
 INF07-APO02 Implement the collection, management and provision
of TOD in accordance with the national TOD policy and regulatory
framework

Finalisation Criteria
 INF07-ASP01 and APO01 - The availability of a plan/roadmap by
the ANSP and the airport operator demonstrating the feasibility of
implementation of TOD as defined by the national TOD policy in line
with the national TOD implementation programme.
 INF07-ASP02 and APO02 - The requirements defined in the
national TOD policy and regulatory framework for ANSP and airport
operators are fulfilled in accordance with the national TOD
implementation programme.
IMPORTANT NOTE: REG 02 refers to, amongst others, the following action:
“Include and maintain in the EUR ANP/FASID (AIM part) the list of aerodromes where
area 2, 3 and 4 TOD would be provided”
However the document that it refers (EUR ANP/FASID) has not yet been approved by
ICAO and may, in accordance with decisions taken after the approval of the ESSIP Plan,
be replaced by other document. Therefore this particular action shall not be taken
into account in the current LSSIP year 2014 cycle.
