CAA UK Preparation
Activities for the
ADQ IR
Nick Yearwood – Aerodrome Strategy, Policy,
Standards
29 May 2013
1
Do we need to change CAA policy and/or
procedures?
 Art
8. Review CAA policy documents and/or procedures
relating or referring to origination, management and/or
publication of aeronautical information in the UK IAIP.
 Consider
the impact of Art 2(2b) on non EASA aerodromes
which publish special VFR entry/exit procedures.
 Art
6. CAA to develop guidance for aerodromes that fall
within scope by virtue of SVFR requirements. CAA need to
reflect in audit / inspection protocols for Art 7(5) personnel
performance.

2
Do we need to initiate a change to National
legislation?
 National
legislation will be required for any delegation of
Member State functions from DfT to CAA, and also to deal
with sanctions for non-compliance
3
Do we need to amend CAA Publications
(CAP) and other associated
documents?
 Art
2. New CAP has been drafted by DAP and is now
undergoing Public Consultation . The CAP includes:
 ADQ
IR Generic Requirements
 ICAO/ADQIR
 Aeronautical
 Data
Data Quality Requirements
Information Process & Data Specifications
Submission Requirements
 Regulatory
Oversight
4
Do we need to alert the Military Aviation
Authority to any aspects of the
regulation?
•
MOD is aware and intends to comply with
CAA policy and ADQ IR.
•
MOU will be established between CAA and MOD for
provision of Military data in-scope of the ADQ IR regulation.
The MOU will specify appropriate regulatory oversight
arrangements.
5
Do we need to amend approval
documentation such as licences,
certificates, approvals?
 Art
2 - CAA to review NATS Licence in light of this regulation
to determine if its requirements are fully addressed in the
Operational Specification for AIS.
 Approvals
and/or Certification e.g. Aerodrome, ANSP, AISP
licensing, Procedure Design Approval, must include
requirements to conform to ADQ IR provisions to enable
enforcement capabilities.
6
Are there any new associated Training
requirements for CAA staff?
 Art
7(5) CAA oversight for ADQ IR will require additional staff
who will need an understanding of a number of subjects,
such as QMS, Data Assurance, Data Quality, Safety,
Security, Software/System verification and conformance.
 In-line
with current CAA strategy a risk based approach to
regulation of all parties (aerodromes, ANSP, IFP designers,
surveyors) in-scope of ADQ IR will need to be implemented
by the CAA.
7
What are the implications for the
UK/Ireland FAB?
 Non-compliance
to ADQ IR by either party could affect FAB
relationships. This will be raised at the next FAB safety
harmonisation working group.
8
Does information and guidance on
these regulatory aspects need to be
publicised to UK industry?
 Art
5(2). CAA industry workshops initiated in 2012 and
further workshops planned in 2013.
 CAA/Aerodrome
pilot projects initiated in March 2013 to
assess aerodrome comprehension of CAA policy and ADQ
IR compliance capabilities.
 Art
10. CAA will focus on key areas of the ADQ IR (e.g. the
QMS elements of the IR) further guidance will be necessary
in many areas.
9
Do we need to amend sections of the
UK AIP?
 Art
2. All AIP data and information with an assigned
assurance level will be updated as a consequence of the IR
requirements.
 Aeronautical
Data with new quality attributes will replace
existing data. All legacy data in scope will need to be
renewed before the end of June 2017.
 Consequential
impact on aerodrome survey periodicity i.e.
surveys will require additional ADQIR meta-data, and
alignment with ICAO 5 year review of IFP.
10
Other ADQ IR related issues
 In
support of a DAP comms plan to communicate with
aerodromes, AATSD inspectors will need to be liaising with
aerodromes and providing advice and guidance towards
ADQ IR compliance.
 As a priority, prime the inspectors with key messages with
regards to what we are doing in relation to this IR and any
indicative position(s).
 Work is in hand to address availability of electronic Terrain &
Obstacle Data (eTOD) as required by Annex 1 Part b (a) of
the ADQ IR.
11
ADQ Constituents
 Origination,
production, storage, handling, processing,
transfer and distribution equipment can be considered as
constituents requiring a Declaration of Conformity or
Suitability for Use.
 Guidance
needed for constituent definition and conformance
– link to CATF Guidelines.
 Further
clarification is required to determine if all aerodromes
are considered ANSP and therefore subject to Article 5, 2
provisions for exchanging aeronautical data.
12
Eurocontrol ADQ specifications
specified as guidance in CAA policy for
compliance to ADQ IR
 Data Assurance
Levels (DAL)
 Data
Quality Requirements (DQR )
 Data
Origination (DO)
 eAIP
Specification (eAIP)
 Aeronautical
Information Exchange (AIX)

Business Risks
•
•
•
•
•
•
