  1. ATM Safety oversight in France

  2. Summary of the presentation • Reorganisation of the DGAC • The Air Navigation Services providers in France • NSA: the organisation and resources • ESARR 3 and Safety Management System • The certification process • Ongoing oversight

  3. État-major, support DGAC reorganisation Policy, rulemaking, economic regulation : DAST, DRE, DPAC Regional Directorates • Service provision : • DSNA(DO,DTI) • SEFA&ENAC Certification, oversight : DCS = NSA

  4. DGAC reorganisation 7 Regions Strategy and Regulation Functionnal separation ANSP Surveillance & Certification

  5. DCS

  6. The ANSPs Other providers • Meteo France : MET • Military ATSP providers: oversight is done by DIRCAM on behalf of DCS • Skyguide (CH) over French territory: an agreement with FOCA will be put in place

  7. NSAs: organisation and ressources What about military service providers? DIRCAM Oversight and audits Dpt DCS Oversight results Oversight methodology Supervisory authority on behalf of DCS Services to OAT: Air Force Army Navy Test flights

  8. NSAs: organisation and ressources The different entities involved • According to a French decree, the DCS is the National Supervisory Authority established for the purpose of CE/550/2004 (service provision regulation) implementation • The STAC(Civil Aviation technical Department), is acting as a technical support service for the DCS. As far as ATM safety oversight is concerned, it will mainly work on audit methodology and training, safety cases, interoperability questions. • The regional Directorates (DACs) bring expertise, human resources, participate to the DSNA certification process, are responsible for AFIS oversight, and local questions, especially when there is a link with airports oversight.

  9. NSAs: organisation and ressources DCS organisation : three units • CNA : ANSPs certification and safety audits. • ANA: personal licences, certification of training units, • SNA : ESARR 4: approval of changes Interoperability

  10. NSAs: organisation and ressources DCS resources for ANS • DCS : 17 employees • STAC (air navigation department): 5 employees • 7 DAC (regional Directorate for Civil Aviation): 1 to 4 emp. (2 on average) / Directorate in the field of ATM safety oversight = 14 emp. • TOTAL = 36 employees for ATM safety oversight. • According to a law from 2004, fees can be charged to operators to cover the costs of the safety oversight activity, and the Terminal AN Services charges cover the cost of NSAs activities of ATM safety oversight according to the Single European Sky regulation

  11. The certification process The process in France Four steps are conducted, partially overlapped • Preparation • NSA’s documented procedures • Common requirements analysis • APP and ACC safety oversight units (since nov. 05) • SMS manual and other provider’s documentation assessment (from April) • Audit of headquarters and Operations Direction in June

  12. The certification process The planning

  13. The certification process The steering groups • A steering committee : at level of the directors of the DCS and the DSNA • A working group (Commission certification) : at level of head of units • To monitor the progress, • To promote a common understanding of the requirements • To discuss about the difficulties met.

  14. The certification process The on-site ATC units audit program • 9 audits (3 ACC among 5) + 6 “SNA” among 11 (a “SNA” is a group of several APPs and TWRs, with a “headquarter” and support services, and 1 Safety Manager) • Why on site audits before the documentation review? • Otherwise we would face a lack of time, • A clear focus on safety issues for the certification process, • Continuity with audit cycles conducted before the reorganisation of DGAC

  15. The certification process AFIS certification process • Regional Directorates are responsible for initial and on going oversight for AFIS providers • France will make use of Article 7.9 of the Service Provision Regulation for AFIS:In exceptional circumstances, Member States may postpone compliance with this Article [The provision of all air navigation services within the Community shall be subject to certification by Member States] beyond the date resulting from Article 19(2) by six months. Member States shall notify the Commission of such postponement, giving their reasons June 21th, 2007 • The NSAs produces guides to help providers to set up their SMS: • a guidance material for SMS • a table of contents for operations manuals = acceptable means of compliance.
