Established in February 2011
“An opportunity to create synergies among the national bodies
(Regulators, NSAs, CAAs) involved in the oversight of the
implementation of the Regulation (EU) 73/2010 (ADQ) and it is
believed to be a crucial contribution to achieve a common
understanding of the provisions of the regulation.”

Legal issues identified
Common understanding achieved

VFR Aerodromes


Data Protection


quantifiable data quality requirements for accuracy, resolution and integrity, as required by
Article 6(1), apply only to a sub-set of data items. However, the scope of the remaining
provisions shall include all of the aeronautical data and aeronautical information that is
referenced on the second sub-paragraph of Article 2(1)
Possible modifications


allow the implementation of data integrity protection through the use of alternative and
equivalent standards other than the CRC32Q
Scope of the Regulation


data related with VFR Aerodromes, even if published in the AIP, is outside the scope of the
ADQ IR.
collected a list of possible modifications to the Regulation, mainly references and definitions
Terrain Exchange Formats


recognised that the existing formats do not fully meet the requirements of the ISO 19100
series as required by ADQ
endorsed the activity of the TOD WG in identifying the user preferred terrain formats

Legal issues identified
Under discussion

NOTAMs
 “Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 apply to the NOTAM, except when to do so will
inhibit the distribution of aeronautical information necessary to ensure the safety
of flight.”

Provision of eTOD
 provided by non-regulated parties (e.g. geo institutes)
 ADQ inhibiting the provision of eTOD
