European Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Incursions(55)

◆
Rationalisation of resources

◆
Facilitation of the implementation of safety management in small organisations like the one referred to,

◆
The potential benefits of addressing aviation safety as a whole.

A single SMS covering ATM and aerodrome operations could be recognised as an acceptable means of compliance to meet all the safety requirements and standards applicable if there is consistency between Annex 11, Annex 14 and ESARR 3. EUROCONTROL has produced as means of compliance a Safety Management Implementation Plan.
2. Two Organisations
The Air Navigation Service Provider is responsible for ATM services and the Aerodrome Operator is responsible for the aerodrome, runway, apron management etc.
When ATM services and aerodrome operations are provided by two different organisations, two separate SMS may be found, but not exclusively. The ATM safety regulator may consider the arrangements between both organisations acceptable for setting up a common SMS.
It should be noted that defining and allocating safety responsibilities is key in any SMS and may be complicated by working across two independent organisations. An appropriate definition and allocation of responsibilities requires a clearly established organisational framework. The same considerations apply to the definition, adoption and review of safety policies and safety objectives.
3. Other situations
Alternative scenarios for managing safety may arise from different owners of the management of things like the Apron, power supply and Navaids etc.
Please note that, in accordance with Annex 11, Apron Management is not ATM.
RATIONALE:
1.
 The definition of "apron" explicitly excludes the "manoeuvring area"

2.
 The definition of "aerodrome traffic" concerns the traffic on the "manoeuvring area"

3.
 The aerodrome control service is defined as a service provided in regard with "aerodrome traffic"

Therefore, the management of the traffic in the apron is not part of the aerodrome control service. So it is not an ATM (or ATS) service. However, safety management has to be implemented in regard to Apron Management because it has to be covered by the SMS established for aerodrome operations in accordance with ICAO Annex 14. If apron management is provided by the same organisation that provides ATM services (TWR for example), then it can be considered as a "supporting service" under the managerial control of the ATM service-provider organisation. As a result, it would be covered by the SMS of the ATM provider (in accordance with ESARR 3).
Risk Analysis
An integral part of Safety Management is Risk Analysis. Each party involved in the flight operations process; Aerodrome Opera-tors, Aircraft Operators and Air Navigation Service Providers, may contribute towards risks that could affect the aircraft operations. JAR 25/1309 and ESARR 4 can be used and adapted depending upon the area of operation that the risk analysis is focused on. Risk assessment matrices facilitate conclusions about what combination of probability of occurrence and seriousness of consequences may be accepted as tolerable levels of risk.
