ATSOCAS Review • Industry involvement throughout in addition to formal public consultation (Sep – Dec 07) • 12 March 2009 – revised services to be introduced • This is not just a renaming of the services, but a complete revision will come into effect • Has resulted in a single set of agreed services for both pilots and controllers It is vital that all pilots have a detailed understanding of the revised procedures and how to use them

  4. Airspace & Safety Initiative • ATSOCAS under leadership of Airspace and Safety Initiative (ASI) post Phase 2 • ASI launched in 2005 • Joint CAA/NATS/MoD/AoA with input from multiple GA/CAT organisations • Aim to identify key areas for action to address most pressing safety issues: ATSOCAS / Infringements / Rates of Climb & Descent etc • Programme benchmarked risks and identified actions necessary to address issues • Pulled together number of existing work streams in an effective manner. Working Group structure to do the detailed work • Industry fully involved through Working Group membership
