text: GM3 ATM/ANS.OR.A.035 Demonstration of compliance

type: rubrik

text: WITNESSING THE COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES — STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

text: The ATM/ANS provider will, when demonstrating the compliance of the ATM/ANS equipment with applicable requirements, such as user or safety requirements, allow the competent authority, if so requested, to participate in any compliance activity concerning the demonstration of compliance of the ATM/ANS equipment in the final or suitably mature design configuration. These demonstrations are necessary to determine that the product has no feature or characteristic that renders the ATM/ANS equipment unsafe for the intended use. Competent authority participation will increase confidence on the evidence presented as part of the SoC and facilitate its efforts to review the associated changes to the functional system. Such participation is in any case guaranteed by ATM/ANS.OR.A.050.

text: AMC1 ATM/ANS.OR.A.045(g) Changes to a functional system

text: GENERAL

text: The ATM/ANS provider should ensure that an EASA release form or a statement of compliance, as appropriate, exists for each ATM/ANS equipment affected by the change prior to putting the changed functional system into service as a part of the corresponding safety assessment or safety support assessment, as applicable.

text: GM1 ATM/ANS.OR.A.045(g) and (i) Changes to a functional system

text: MODIFIED ATM/ANS EQUIPMENT

text: ATM/ANS equipment is considered ‘modified’ in the context of changes to functional systems when there is: — a modification of the hardware (HW) or software (SW) that forms the ATM/ANS equipment itself [software and hardware]; or — a modification of the usage of the ATM/ANS equipment, when such usage is part of the applicable detailed specifications or any identified limitation. For that purpose, the category of the equipment [certification, declaration, or statement of compliance] or the applicable detailed specifications may be impacted and therefore reassessed. Modifications of the usage of the equipment are modifications to the way the components of the functional system are organised. In other words, such modifications are modifications to the architecture of the functional system, and, thus, subject to safety (support) assessment.

text: GM1 ATM/ANS.OR.A.045(g)(4) Changes to a functional system

text: EQUIPMENT NOT SUBJECT TO CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT

text: (a) Some equipment (such as HW and SW used to provide flight procedure design and data services) will not be subject to the ATM/ANS conformity assessment framework under Delegated

text: Regulation (EU) 2023/1768

text: , but it will be subject to safety (support) assessment requirements specified by this Regulation. Such equipment belongs to the functional system of the ATM/ANS provider and, consequently,

text: Regulation (EU) 2017/373

text: applies to it. (b) Following point (a), there will be no obligation for such equipment to be manufactured by an approved DPO or for the ANSP to issue a SoC.

text: AMC1 ATM/ANS.OR.A.045(j) Changes to a functional system

text: ATM/ANS EQUIPMENT INTO SERVICE

text: (a) The ATM/ANS provider should ensure that the new or modified ATM/ANS equipment is deployed as necessary to support the minimum requirements for separation of aircraft. (b) The ATM/ANS provider should ensure that, before putting into service the new or modified ATM/ANS equipment, it implements the most efficient deployment solutions taking into account the local operating environments, constraints and needs as well as airspace users’ capabilities. (c) As part of the change management procedures as laid down in ATM/ANS.OR.B.010, the ATM/ANS provider should establish deployment procedures for putting ATM/ANS equipment into service to ensure: (1) the safe integration of new or modified ATM/ANS equipment in its functional system; and (2) that the new or modified ATM/ANS equipment is deployed according to the conditions of use, as well as according to any prescribed limitations. (d) The deployment procedures referred to in point (c) could be integrated with the compliance procedures established in accordance with AMC1 ATM/ANS.OR.B.005(a)(8).

text: MONITORING

text: This behaviour could be understood as performance of the service(s) delivered by the functional system of the ATM/ANS provider (e.g. specification such as function, accuracy, availability, continuity, timeliness, reliability, integrity, etc.). When the monitoring activity identifies underperformance of the service provided with respect to the specification of the service, the ATM/ANS provider should introduce mitigation measures.

text: For example, the ATC provider should monitor the quality of communication services and verify the conformance with the level of performance required for the operational environment under its responsibility with regard to the provision of ATC with data link services.

text: AMC1 ATM/ANS.OR.B.005(f) Management system

text: FORMAL INTERFACES — ATS PROVIDERS

text: Where data link communications are used, the ATS provider should make appropriate arrangements with a communication services provider to ensure that data exchanges can be established with all aircraft flying in the airspace under their responsibility and having data link capability in accordance with the applicable requirements, with due regard to possible coverage limitations inherent in the communication technology used.

text: AMC4 ATM/ANS.OR.B.015 Contracted activities

text: DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS — ATS PROVIDERS

text: ATS providers that rely upon other organisations for the provision of communication services for data exchanges with aircraft which are necessary for air-ground applications should ensure that those services are provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of a service level agreement, including in particular: (a) the description of communication services in accordance with the requirements of the data link services; (b) the description of the security policy put in place to secure data exchanges of the air-ground applications; (c) the relevant materials to be supplied for the monitoring of the quality and performance of communication services.
