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

The reporting to the organisations defined in the ATM/ANS.OR.A.065 does not affect the need to
report to other organisations with which the service provider interfaces, and which might be involved
in or be affected by the reported event (e.g. other service providers involved in an occurrence,
aerodrome operators, etc.).
ATM/ANS.OR.A.065(a) AMC1 Occurrence reporting
GENERAL
(a) The service provider should submit all reportable occurrences as defined in Regulation
(EU) No 2015/10181.
(b) In addition to the reports required by (a), the service provider should report volcanic ash
clouds, encountered by aircraft operators, for which it has become aware of.
ATM/ANS.OR.A.065(b) GM1 Occurrence reporting
SYSTEMS AND CONSTITUENTS
(a) When determining which failures of systems and constituents are to be reported, a
degree of practicality is required as it is not intended that every failure is reported. Only
those that have or may have an impact on the safety of the provision of services are
reported.
(b) When nothing is defined in European Union or national legislation, the determination of the
failures of systems and constituents that need to be reported is done by the service
provider and needs to be approved by the competent authority. This determination can be
done as a result of an assessment of the installations or changes to the systems and
constituents.
(c) The organisation responsible for the design of the systems and constituents may no
longer exist or may no longer support the design. In this case, the service provider will
have made arrangements to ensure that the safety of the systems and constituents can
be assured by appropriate and practical means. In many cases, this means that the
service provider has taken over the design responsibilities.
(d) Within the application of Regulation (EC) No 552/2004, the organisation responsible for
the design of the constituent will be the entity that signs the Declaration of Conformity or
Suitability for use. For systems and constituents which existed before the applicability
date of Regulation (EC) No 552/2004, the service provider should identify the responsible
organisation, otherwise the service provider should make appropriate arrangements.
ATM/ANS.OR.A.070 Contingency plans
A service provider shall have in place contingency plans for all the services it provides in the case of
events which result in significant degradation or interruption of its operations.
ATM/ANS.OR.A.070 GM1 Contingency plans
GENERAL
The contingency plan may include the definition of the measures, the coordination with other actors
(i.e. the State, the competent authorities, possibly the other service providers, the insurance
companies, aerodrome operators, as applicable) and alternative services needed in case of
degradation or interruption of the services, while the applicability of emergency response planning
may be attributable to or affected by an aviation safety occurrence.
ATM/ANS.OR.A.075 Open and transparent provision of services
(a) A service provider shall provide its services in an open and transparent manner. It shall
publish the conditions of access to its services and changes thereto and establish a
consultation process with the users of its services on a regular basis or as needed for
specific changes in service provision, either individually or collectively.
(b) A service provider shall not discriminate on grounds of nationality or other characteristic
of the user or the class of users of its services in a manner that is contrary to applicable
law.

GENERAL PROVIDERS OF AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES AND AIR TRAFFIC FLOW
MANAGEMENT
Providers of air navigation services and air traffic flow management should consult with the users of
their services at least once a year.
ATM/ANS.OR.A.080 Provision of aeronautical data
(a) A service provider shall ensure that aeronautical data related to its services is provided in
due time to the AIS provider.
(b) When aeronautical data related to its services is published, the service provider shall:
(1) monitor the data;
(2) notify the AIS provider of any changes necessary to ensure that the data is correct
and complete;
(3) notify the AIS provider when the data is incorrect or inappropriate.
ATM/ANS.OR.A.085 Aeronautical data quality management
When originating, processing or transmitting data to the AIS provider, the service provider shall:
(a) ensure that aeronautical data conforms with the ‘Aeronautical Data Catalogue’ referred to
in ICAO PANS-AIM (Doc 10066);
(b) ensure that the following data quality requirements are met:
(1) the accuracy of aeronautical data is as specified in the aeronautical data catalogue;
(2) the integrity of aeronautical data is maintained;
(3) based on the integrity classification specified in the aeronautical data catalogue,
procedures are put in place so that:
