Part ATM/ANS.OR - ANNEX III - Common Requirements for Service Providers

(1) frequent changes in levels and headings, depending on the tests which are carried
out with certain unpredictability;
(2) unless necessary for the purpose of the flight tests, navigation in general
(route/destination, etc.) is not the primary objective of these flights;
(3) specific aircraft configurations sometimes resulting in reduced ability to
manoeuvre;
(4) technical constraints, including airborne and ground testing facilities;
(5) airborne equipment is not proven to be up to the required certification level; and
(6) the planning for conducting flight tests can be of a very ad hoc nature giving little
timing for carrying out strategy or pre-tactical air traffic flow management. (e.g. the
need to test under specific weather conditions which would require flexibility for
allocation of slots for these flight tests), then the air traffic services provider
providing services to this type of flight testing may need a specific privilege within
the certificate issued by the competent authority because of the specificities of the
air traffic services to be provided to this type of operations and because of the need
to ensure safe operations in the airspace in which flight tests are being conducted.
(b) Given the characteristics in (a), flight tests can be made in cohabitation with other
airspace users in controlled or non-controlled airspace, and sometimes in temporarily
reserved areas when necessary.

ATM/ANS.OR.A.005 Application for a service provider certificate

comply with:
(1) the requirements referred to in Article 8b(1) of Regulation (EU) No 216/2008;
(2) the common requirements set out in this Annex;
(3) the specific requirements set out in Annexes IV to XIII, where those requirements
are applicable in light of the services that the service provider provides or plans to
provide.
