Join the New WG-130 "ATM/ANS Supporting Standards"
Dear Experts,
On 10 October, the EUROCAE Council approved the establishment of WG-130 ATM/ANS Supporting Standards.
Context:
The publication of Regulation (EU) 2023/1768 establishes the requirements for the attestation of ATM/ANS systems and ATM/ANS constituents (ATM/ANS equipment), and completes the technical and interoperability framework to ensure the safety performance of civil aviation and operational/technical interoperability.
To support this new framework, detailed technical and operational standards developed by EUROCAE should be used as a means of compliance for ATM/ANS equipment attestation and ATM/ANS operations.
The new WG is tasked to identify and facilitate development of standards and related deliverables, including a coordinating role in consolidating standards developments by other existing Working Groups, to support the attestation of ATM/ANS equipment and ATM/ANS operations.
Initial Activity:
The first deliverable of this Working Group will be a report further analysing the suitability of the existing standards to support safe and interoperable operations and development of a work programme to address required updates and the development of safety net, track deviation, software and FDP standards. The report should include a proposal for the management and reporting structure of future work to support the conformity assessment framework.
Anticipated Working Group Membership:
It is anticipated that this Working Group will be of particular interest to European Aviation Regulatory Authorities, ATM/ANS System Manufacturers and Suppliers, and Air Navigation Service Providers. We envisage the Working Group participants will include engineering and operational/user experts as well as management level contributors. We also anticipate the Working Group leadership will have Co-Chairs from a regulator and the ATM industry, along with a Secretary.
The Kick-off Meeting for WG-130 is scheduled for 18 November 2024 at the EUROCAE Offices in Paris, and is also open to non-members, who will be invited to join EUROCAE if they wish to continue their participation in the Working Group.
