Implementing DQR - A Practical View
DAL/DQR Workshop
Brussels, 19-20 February 2013
Presented by:
Erika Billen
Belgium CAA
The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
General Remarks (1)
• BCAA has not yet formally adopted the Eurocontrol
Specification for Data Quality requirements. To do so, we
need a change in the legal framework. We work on an
amendment of the Decree of designation of ANSPs to
integrate this specification in the list of requirements to
comply with. This means also a change in the contract of
management we have with our ANSP in order to add AIS
as service and ADQ as requirement in it.

General Remarks (2)
• Our ANSP developed an implementation plan to achieve
full ADQ IR compliance. One of the missing blocks is a
clear view on the State role in the process : some tasks
they need to do requires input and/or action from the
State. As long as the State part is not accomplished, the
ANSP can’t progress. They identified the showstoppers
and we will start in the near future a national task force to
eliminate together the remaining issues the best we can.
The help of ADQ implementation will be appreciated to
make sure we understand well the requirements and to be
sure our proposed implementation actions end up in the
goal fixed.

Requirements
• National legal framework to be adopted in order to ensure
ANSP will comply with DQR of Harmonised List.
• After adoption of DQR Specification, BSA-ANS will
oversee the implementation of processes to comply with
DQR of Harmonised List within ANSP.
• After adoption of DQR Specification, ANSP will include
version of Harmonised List in its formal arrangements and
BSA-ANS will do oversight.
• If one day, we would like an addition, we would discuss
this on FABEC level and then with Eurocontrol and if
needed also with ICAO.

Issues
• Annex 15 is not yet transposed in national legal framework.
• The management contract with ANSP is not yet updated and
thus is not yet fully in line with current international legal
framework.
• As long as national legal framework is not updated, BSA-ANS
can only audit on ADQ IR implementation and check safety
cases on their compliance with DQR. They have no other
options to enforce the use of DQR Specification.
• Political level does not give priority nor resources for local
implementation because misunderstanding of the situation :
Europe made an IR with direct entry into force, so we don’t need
to do anything anymore.
5
Challenges
• Public Relations to convince hard work has to be done to
get all parties involved on track for full implementation and
compliance.
6
How does the DAL address the IR
requirements?
• The origin and change history for each data item is
recorded and available for audit;
• Validation of the Metadata requirements of the Data Set
(Annex I, Part C)
7
How does the DAL address the IR
requirements?
• The aeronautical data or aeronautical information is
complete or any missing items are declared;
•
•
•
•
•
Validation of the Data Set specification
Identification of the Data Originators
Formal Arrangements
Data verification
Validation of the mechanism to annotate the ADQ noncompliant data items
8
How does the DAL address the IR
requirements?
• All data origination, production, storage, handling,
processing, transfer or distribution processes used for
each data item are defined and adequate for the assigned
integrity level;
• Overarching Process
• Work Instructions
• Integrity Protection
9
How does the DAL address the IR
requirements?
• Data validation and verification processes are adequate
for the assigned integrity level of the data item;
• Validation of the data verification and data validation
processes
• Validation of the data integrity protection mechanism
10
How does the DAL address the IR
requirements?
• Manual or semi-automated data processes are performed
by trained and qualified staff, with clearly define roles and
responsibilities that are recorded in the organisation’s
quality system;
• Validation of the skills and competency requirements
• Validation of the training processes
11
How does the DAL address the IR
requirements?
• All tools and/or software used to support or implement the
processes are validated as fit for purpose in accordance
with Annex V;
• Validation of Tools and Software
12
How does the DAL address the IR
requirements?
• An effective error reporting, measurement and corrective
action process is in operation in accordance with Part F.
• Most of the objectives are in ANNEX J
• Validation of the Error reporting mechanism
