Safety Chain and missing Links

PILOT

MECH

ATCO

ATSEP

CERTIFIED AIRFRAME

CERTIFIED GROUND INSTALL

CERTIFIED AVIONICS




• safety concern

• symmetry between air and ground

• continuing growth of decision making tools for ATCO

• direct support and decision making data to the airframe and the pilot

• continuing automation of ATCO functions

• modern management principles {delegation of responsibility}

• defines personal responsibilities and assure associated competencies

• assures harmonised safety standards

• facilitates and rationalises procedures and auditing requirements

Rationale for an ATSEP License




PILOT ATCO

MECHA ATSEP

hazardous to one a/c hazardous to several a/c




Why at this point in time

• exponential traffic growth

• privatisation of ANS enterprises (prerequisite)

• financial liabilities

• fair competition between ATS providers {CANSO benchmarking}

• harmonisation of the European Airspace

• the users count on minimum standards

• ECAC transport ministers decision {MATSE 5}

• window-of-opportunity for a common licensing scheme

• safety management an EuC EATCHIP/EATMP initiative




Why the norm ISO 9000 alone would not do

• quality management not equal safety management {EuC EATMP}

• a quality norm could complement a license

• the norm does not explicitly address the collaborator

• the norm does not cover decision making

• skills and personal responsibility are not comprised in the norm

• the norm describes a management system

• the norm certifies processes and organisations {e.g. licensing scheme}
