Added Value of the SRC-EATMP Interface

• Duplication of efforts avoided
• Best use of scarce safety resources
• Consistency of safety regulatory approvals
• Cross fertilisation in Europe
• Support to national regulatory interfaces
• European Implementation-Total System Approach-
  Regional Network

SRC-EATMP Process (1)

• SRC DOC 6-Harmonised Interface

• Structure to organise the
• different aspects to be addressed
• Top-level definition of EATMP inputs
• and SRC outputs
• The same review cycle for all kinds
• of safety deliverables

• Review always based on the same 9 steps

5
SRC-EATMP Process (2)Inputs - Outputs

• EATMP inputs into the process

• Safety Policy/Safety Plan
• Safety Deliverable

• SRC outputs from the process

• SRC Formal Response

Lessons Learned from experience

• When to start ?
• When does SRC need to be involved?
• Practical and harmonised arrangements?
• EATMP procedures
• SRU/SRC procedures
• Scope of EATMP-SRC activities?
• Recommendation to PC?

Initiation and update of safety arguments must
be undertaken according to the stages of life
cycle
Safety Argument collects evidence that safety
is maintained during all stages of life cycle

Impact Assessment to prioritise SRC/SRU
activities (level of oversight activities, SRC
working arrangements)

• This depend on several factors, such as ...
• GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE
• RD or Operational PROGRAMME
• OPS or TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN
• ANTICIPATED SAFETY IMPACT OF THE CHANGE
  (Initial FHA)
• THE COMPLEXITY OF THE CHANGE
• PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
• ...and ANTICIPATED IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

12
Practical Arrangements (1)

• Early Involvement of SQS
• Early Contact EATMP/SRU
• Initial Impact Assessment
• Way forward (SRU Focal Point, SRC WG or via
  correspondence, )
• Presentation to SRC and inclusion in SRC Work
  Programme

13
Practical Arrangements (2)

• Programme Safety Policy/Plan
• scope of the programme (operations, environment,
  European core safety tasks)
• safety regulatory baseline (ESARRs, ICAO..)
  (What)
• proposed acceptable means of compliance (How)
• set of Programme safety objectives to be met
• a safety management approach
• rationale/assumptions for proposals (Why)
• set-up the generic Programme safety
  responsibilities and accountabilities
• Schedule (When) Resources (Who)

14
Practical Arrangements (3)

• Programme Safety Documentation
• description of the associated safety activities
  conducted in accordance to the Safety Plan
• summary of conclusions on the achievement of
  safety objectives as result of the safety
  activities, as well as the identification of
  actions to be taken in the light of safety
  activities
• presentation of evidence, argument, findings and
  assumptions
• identifies the safety issues, and their
  resolution or implications
• A listing of documents specifically referenced in
  the safety deliverable.

15
Practical Arrangements (4)

• Initiation of RAD early in Project
• Involvement of EATMP Project
• Criteria solely derived from applicable ESARRs
• Submission of Safety deliverables
• Initial review by SRU Formal review by SRC
  (CRD-with origin to programme)
• Order of magnitude- From 1,5 to 3 months
  required
• Configuration control/status
• Revision marks
• Overall consistency of Safety Deliverables
• Good visibility of processes and outputs

16
Scope of EATMP-SRC Interface (1)

• EATMP minimum role-
• To ensure new operational concept in assumed
  environment will be safe if implemented as per
  Safety Objectives Requirements
• Determination of Safety Objectives
• Determination of Safety Requirements
• Safety Requirements validated (i.e., a priori
  feasible effective)
• SRC minimum role-
• To verify that proposed operational concept in
  assumed environment will be safe if implemented
  as per Safety Objectives Requirements
• To provide an SRC view on acceptability of
  concept to PC

17
Scope of EATMP-SRC Interface (2)

• EATMP complementary role-
• To collect assurance from ANSP that complementary
  national implementation verification done
• To complete validation of allocated SO/SR (a
  posteriori feasible and effective)
• To ensure national variations have been
  addressed
• To verify regional implementation is according
  to allocated SO/SR (e.g., RVSM)
• through ANSP assurance
• when required throught end to end verification
• SRC complementary role-
• To collect assurance from national (and European)
  regulators that national implementation has been
  verified as meeting allocated SO/SR
• To provide an SRC view on acceptability of
  implementation to PC

SRC Recommendation to PC (1)

• Circulated to all PC members and observers
• To be used in go/no go/delay decision
• To be used by ICAO, JAA etc..in their own
  activities
• To be used by national ATM regulators in national
  regulatory approval processes

SRC Recommendation to PC (2)

• Contents-
• Conclusions
• Recommendations
• Format-
• PC Action Paper
• Status-
• EUROCONTROL PC distribution list

21
Conclusions

• Both EATMP and SRC have a role to play to support
  States-
• Increased awareness
• Core European activities
• (no duplication/inconsistency)
• Learning from past experience can help us work
  more efficiently-
• Harmonised SRU working Procedures
• Initiatives to improve awareness
