6 Regulation of Air Traffic Services and Air Traffic Service Facilities
6.1 Air Navigation Order
Reference should be made to the current issue of the ANO, which is available on the CAA website at www.caa.co.uk/cap393.
6.2 Introduction
6.2.1 International standards and regulations are in force which States are required to implement. ICAO Annex 11 Air Traffic Services requires the UK CAA to implement a programme that ensures that a Safety Management System (SMS) is used at all ATS units. EUROCONTROL, under the auspices of the Safety Regulation Commission (SRC), published ESARR 3 Use of Safety Management Systems by Air Traffic Management (ATM) Service Providers, which required all providers of ATM to establish a SMS.
6.2.2 Since 21 June 2007, it became a legal requirement under the Single European Sky (SES) Regulations for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) providing air traffic control or flight information services to operate a Safety Management System. The SES Regulations also apply in this regard to CNS providers operating navigational aids such as Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs).
6.3 Requirements
An Applicant for an Approval under the ANO shall demonstrate that all safety issues within the provision of an Air Traffic Management (ATM) service have been addressed in a satisfactory manner (77).
6.4 Process and Regulatory methods for demonstrating safety adequacy
6.4.1 General
6.4.1.1 Regulation of civil air traffic services (ATS) and technical elements of associated services is achieved through the grant of Approval to equipment and systems, licensing and certification of personnel, and auditing and inspecting the subsequent systems and service provision.
6.4.1.2 The term 'approval' is used generically in the following descriptions to mean any relevant form of regulatory approval, certification or grant of a licence.
6.5 Approval of a Safety Management System
6.5.1 Before an ATS Provider is regulated under a Safety Management System (SMS) regime, the supporting documentation must be accepted by the appropriate CAA Regional Manager ATS.
6.5.2 Following submission, the SMS descriptive and supporting documentation will be reviewed and the Service Provider advised whether it is acceptable or not. Any areas that are deficient will be identified. The time taken to review the document will depend upon its complexity. If the documentation is not acceptable, the Service Provider should make amendments to address the identified deficiencies and resubmit as necessary.
6.5.3 An acceptable Safety Management System should address all the principles described in CAP 670, Part B, Section 1, document APP 01 and will document the strategies by which the stated objectives are to be achieved.
6.5.4 In association with the implementation of an SMS it is necessary to carry out an analysis of the safety significance of existing systems and to demonstrate that they satisfy the current safety requirements of both the CAA and those set out in the unit's SMS. This is usually presented in the form of safety assurance documentation.
