continuing success – lack of manpower. “Only trained and
qualified people can do the assessments, and they are in
short supply in some of the service providers,” he
comments. “It’s a matter of having enough resources and
incentives to bring and maintain operational expertise
working in safety management. There simply aren’t enough
people moving into the safety field, even though AGAS/SSAP
made it clear at the beginning that the national administrations
should make this happen.”

SAFETY WORK IN SUPPORT
OF EC MANDATES
The European Commission has drafted a series of mandates to drive forward the
creation of a Single European Sky and to ensure that safety remains the
paramount priority. Simon Michell looks at the development of the Implementing

he European Commission issued four regulations, one
each for the framework, service provision, airspace and
interoperability in March 2004. As Europe moves into the
Air Traffic Management network proposed by the European
Commission it is essential that the safety aspects related to the
regulations and their associated mandates are thoroughly
examined so that the necessary safety arguments are
developed. This will ensure that the implementation will not
only guarantee that safety remains as good as it was prior to
implementation but is enhanced because of it. According to Dr
Bernd Tiemeyer, EUROCONTROL Co-ordinator for the Agency &
EATM Safety Management Systems, “The objective of these
safety arguments and their supporting safety assessments is to
provide the basis for the safe implementation of the
Implementing Rules (IRs) on national levels.”
With the adoption of the SES legislative package in March
2004 by the European Parliament and Transport Council, work
has begun in creating the necessary IRs complementing and
refining the Essential Requirements (ERs). The first two sets of
mandates for the development of IRs were issued by the
European Commission to EUROCONTROL in February and April
2004. Work on the first set of mandates covering the flexible
use of airspace, airspace design, Functional Airspace Blocks
(FABs), and the charging scheme was completed in 2005.
Work on the second set of mandates covering
‘Interoperability’ was also completed in 2005 and relates to
the interoperability aspects of the SES initiative, in terms of
seamless operations, support of new concepts of operation,
safety and civil-military co-ordination.
The ‘Interoperability’ mandates were delivered to
EUROCONTROL in two batches. The first batch, delivered in
2004, consisted of mandates for the development of IRs for
interoperability on the Initial Flight Plan (IFP), the Flight
Message Transfer Protocol (FMTP) and Co-ordination and
Transfer (COTR). The Final Reports for the first three were
delivered to the European Commission in March 2005. The
second batch of ‘Interoperability’ mandates, delivered in
2005, covers Aeronautical Data Integrity, Data Link Services
and Air Ground Voice Channel Spacing.
Safety arguments have been, or are being developed for
all of the ‘Interoperability’ mandates under the supervision
of the EUROCONTROL Directorate of ATM Programmes /
Safety Enhancement (DAP/SAF) Business Division in
T collaboration with the Safety Regulation Unit (SRU). They
form part of the process used to create the IRs in response
to the EC mandates. In short they are the link between the
safety argument and safety requirements. Dr Tiemeyer
explained, “For each of the of the IRs on interoperability we
established a multi-disciplinary team, a so-called Safety
Focus Group, which was responsible for the delivery of the
Safety Assessment.”
A look at how safety assessments are developed for one of
the mandates illustrates how the process works.
As part of the first batch of European Commission
mandates covering interoperability issues in ATM,
EUROCONTROL has developed an IR for interoperability of the
Initial Flight Plan (IFP) in order to ensure flight plan consistency
between operators, pilots and air traffic service units
throughout the Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System
(IFPS) in the pre-flight phase.
EUROCONTROL DAP/SAF personnel supervised the safety
assessment of the IFP process described in the IR in order to
derive Safety Requirements and related safety material for
