Structure

The future implementing rules for ATM/ ANS and aerodromes are mostly annexes (blue) to EU regulations (orange) and they shall be separated into:

  • Technical requirements contained in the annexes to the respective area regulations such as for example the implementing rules for Meteorology underneath the regulation on ATM/ ANS.  
  • Requirements applicable to organisations in the different domains contained in the annexes entitled Organisation Requirements (OR)
  • Requirements for competent authorities certifying and overseeing aviation activities  in the different domains contained in the annexes entitled Authority Requirements (AR)

It is planned to have implementing rules for air traffic management (ATM) and Air Navigation Services (ANS) to be completed by 2012. For the area of aerodromes (ADR) it is planned to have the required rules adopted at the end of 2013.

The structure for ATM/ANS and aerodromes (ADR) is as depicted below:

The structure for aerodromes is zoomed into to the right:
It is foreseen to have a regulation on aerodrome safety with three annexes that cover the implementing rules for authorities, organisations and aerodrome operations. Linked to these, but not legally dependent are the certification specifications for aerodrome design, called CS DSN.
