Safety Chain and missing Links

1. Safety Chain and missing Links PILOT MECH ATCO ATSEP CERTIFIED AVIONICS CERTIFIED AIRFRAME CERTIFIED GROUND INSTALL

2. Rationale for an ATSEP License • safety concern • symmetry between air and ground • continuing growth of decision making tools for ATCO • direct support and decision making data to the airframe and the pilot • continuing automation of ATCO functions • modern management principles {delegation of responsibility} • defines personal responsibilities and assure associated competencies • assures harmonised safety standards • facilitates and rationalises procedures and auditing requirements

3. PILOT ATCO MECHA ATSEP hazardous to one a/c hazardous to several a/c

4. Why at this point in time • exponential traffic growth • privatisation of ANS enterprises (prerequisite) • financial liabilities • fair competition between ATS providers {CANSO benchmarking} • harmonisation of the European Airspace • the users count on minimum standards • ECAC transport ministers decision {MATSE 5} • window-of-opportunity for a common licensing scheme • safety management an EuC EATCHIP/EATMP initiative

5. Why the norm ISO 9000 alone would not do • quality management not equal safety management {EuC EATMP} • a quality norm could complement a license • the norm does not explicitly address the collaborator • the norm does not cover decision making • skills and personal responsibility are not comprised in the norm • the norm describes a management system • the norm certifies processes and organisations {e.g. licensing scheme}
