Presented by Sylviane WYBOEAD Programme Manager
Aeronautical Information
To improve Airspace Management, the dynamic availability of quality Aeronautical Information is of foremost importance.
AISs are required to ensure the flow of aeronautical information necessary for the safety, regularity and efficiency of international air navigation within the area of responsibility of a State.
The airspace users, as well as those commercial organisations serving the airspace users, depend on the accuracy and timeliness of such data for safe route management, flight planning, and flight operations.

The cost effectiveness of AIS operations, the quality of aeronautical data and the accessibility and availability of such data can be significantly
improved through automation and centralisation.

•Service Provision Contract signed on 10 July 2001 with GroupEAD Europe S.L.
Operational Constrains
States remain responsible for providing the AIS and the information published. AIS of migrated States are
responsible for inserting, maintaining and correcting their national data directly in the EAD.
Although externalised, the EAD is a service provided and owned by EUROCONTROL on behalf of its Member
States.
EUROCONTROL has sponsored the development of the EAD system and sponsors the provision of the EAD
service in line with the Service Charging Policy but not the costs for local systems and for connectivity.

Access to Database and applications
CAA/ANSP or grouping of CAA/ANSP, can access:
• Directly the EAD database and make use of all AIS functionalities (input – output) through a number of developed applications
• through an EAD compatible database
Quality - AvailabilityCost Effective
• Quality– ICAO Standards, OPADD, SDP, AICM/AIXM applied
• Systems have been developed and will be maintained following changes
– EAD = DB Implemented high number of validation rules
– Coordination of cross border conflict resolution
– Less human input• Single entry of static data, further replicated for other
applications• Automated processes between applications
Quality - AvailabilityCost Effective
• Availability / Accessibility– WW processed NOTAM and static data
– Very high availability requirements : 99,975
– 24h/24h operational and technical helpdesk
– Commonly maintained system & applications
– Client service availability covered by SLA
