Hundreds of Interfaces, but

Tier One not aircraft type specific
All possible MAA interfaces considered
All interface expectations disclosed
One Question set used for all MAAs
All questions answered in self assessments, traffic lights applied and
responses disclosed
Other MAA responses reviewed and recognition statements and conditions
disclosed
No MAA expected to change systems
Only one desk top audit per MAA at tier one
All participating MAAs must commit to Tier 2 interoperability agreements, eg
utilising existing ASIC / NATO interoperability management systems
Compliance audits only at Tier 2 and 3 (service and type) agreements
Standard periodic review of recognition process and documents
Tier one assessment and review only needed once for each MAA
Services and benefits realised through Tier 2 & 3 agreements

Advantages of Tiered Approach
• MAAs retain sovereignty, and not expected to change systems
• developing best practice
• close alignment with current MAA recognition initiatives
• caters for all MAA interfaces not just technical
• only 1 Tier 1 systems level review and desk top audit per MAA
• allows MAAs to apply and amend overlays on services from other MAAs
without need to renegotiate recognition agreements
• utilises existing Interoperability management systems and resources
• low on-going resource management costs once established
• establishes common and enduring requirements
• allows for additional MAAs without need for changes
• allows for addition of new service level (tier 2) agreements without need
to renegotiate recognition agreements
• only one set of requirements for each (Tier 2) topic-specific agreement
• better visibility of agreements and justification or requirements
• enables trust to be placed in cascading decisions made by other MAAs
• improved management and accountability associated with foreign
aircraft visits
• could be used to recognise other MAAs / NAAs outside of ASIC
