PROVISION

• Introduction to SESIS Guidance Material
• Gerald Amar, SESIS Project Manager

European Organisation for the Safety of Air
Navigation

Disclaimer

• The EUROCONTROL SESIS guidance material is made
  available to prepare the certification process in
  compliance with the SES Regulation laying down
  Common Requirements for the provision of air
  navigation services.
• The information contained in the guidance
  material does not necessarily reflect current or
  future views of the EC on the interpretation of
  the SES Regulations.
• The compliance of the Member States, their NSAs
  and ANSPs with the SES regulations and
  legislation remains entirely their own
  responsibility.
• EUROCONTROL does not warrant or guarantee a
  particular outcome of a certification process,
  nor does EUROCONTROL assume any liability for
  damages sustained in that respect.

Scope

• SESIS documentation contains reference to
• EC Regulations and Directives
• ICAO Standards and other documentation
• EUROCONTROL decisions and regulatory material
• Additional Guidance Material as necessary.
• The Guidance Material supports NSAs and ANSPs in
  the certification process of the ANSP.
• The Guidance Material is a possible basis to
  support discussion between ANSP and NSA to design
  the details of the certification process. It does
  not substitute to this bi-lateral discussion.

Guidance material for NSA

• Development at Very Early stage
• Not Mature enough to be disseminated
• Focus on
• Certification process
• How NSA could evaluate compliance of ANSPs

• Open issues
• Duration of validity of certificates (e.g. 4 or
  6 years)
• Frequency of oversights for each area (e.g.
  safety every 2 years)

Guidance Material for ANSP The approach

• Provide guidance material ready to be used by
  management and working level
• Facilitate awareness and simplify their work
• By addressing in the material only the
  requirements which are relevant to the type of
  ANSP
• By presenting a clear traceability back to the EC
  regulation
• By providing a structure of document based on the
  main functions of the ANSP organisation
• Address two aspects of the certification
• The implementation of the Common requirements
• The assessment and demonstration of compliance

11
Structure of the Guidance material for ANSP (1)

• One Volume for each type of Air Navigation
  Service Provider

Guidance Material for ANSP compliance with CRs
Guidance Material Annex Vol I ATSPs (draft
available)
Guidance Material Annex Vol III CNSPs (in
early stage)
Guidance Material Annex Vol IV METSPs (draft
available soon)
Guidance Material Annex Vol II AISPs (draft
available soon)
12
Structure of the Guidance material for ANSP (2)

• Each Volume is structured on the basis of main
  functions of an ANSP

Guidance Material Annex ANSP
Part A Corporate matters (Organisation,
Business Plan, Annual Plan report, legal
matters
Part B Safety, Quality Security
Part D Technical Operational Matters
Part C Human resources
13
Content of the Guidance material

• As far as possible, depending on the CRs, 4
  different aspects addressed
• Analysis of the requirement significant points
  driving the rationale of A way to comply
  and the criteria to be met.
• Criteria of eligibility attempt to define the
  criteria needed to be satisfied by the ANSP to
  meet the requirement.
• A way to comply a proposed approach to implement
  the requirement and satisfy the criteria. Mainly
  done by referring to appropriate documentation.
• Note it is not the only approach.
• Evidence indications of
• documentation that the Service provider could
  refer to or provide to the NSA, along with its
  application to Certification
• evidence that can be assessed during NSA on-site
  audit visits
