UK Reg (EU) 2017/373 Proposed Changes

We propose to amend UK Reg (EU) 2017/373 (The Air Traffic Management Common Requirements Implementing Regulation), Annex III, Subpart A, ATM/ANS.OR.A.065, by:

• Establishing a general rule as to when both ATCOs and ATSEPs should give input to reports;
• Specifying other organisations to which an SP should report under point ATM/ANS.OR.A.065(a);
• Clarifying the responsibilities of the SP when considering whether failures must be reported under ATM/ANS.OR.A.065(b);
• Clarifying what types of failure should be considered to fall within the duty to report under point ATM/ANS.OR.A.065(b);
• Clarifying who is responsible for reporting where the engineering function is carried out by a third party;
• Clarifying who is responsible for reporting failures that occur in delegated Air Traffic Services areas;
• Updating the GM to reflect the repeal of Regulation (EC) No 552/2004; and
• Recommending additional reporting to Design Organisations (DOs) under point ATM/ANS.OR.A.065(b) once the nature of a failure is understood or the SP requires external assistance, to enable trend analysis;
