designated as Annex 11 to the Convention with the title "International Standards and Recommended Practices — Air Traffic Services".

This new title - Air Traffic Services

• was preferred to the title Air Traffic Control,

• in order to make it clear that air traffic control service was a part of the services covered by Annex 11, together with flight information service and alerting service.

• Prevent collisions between aircraft; Annex 11 —

  Air Traffic Services Chapter 21/11/01 2-2

• Prevent collisions between aircraft on the maneuvering area and obstructions on that area:

• Expedite and maintain an orderly flow of air traffic;

• Provide advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights;

• Notify appropriate organizations regarding aircraft in need of search and rescue aid, and assist such organizations as required.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES SHALL BE TO:

• AREA CONTROL SERVICE

• APPROACH CONTROL SERVICE

• AERODROME CONTROL SERVICE

Division of the Air Traffic Services

The air traffic services shall comprise three services identified as follows:

AERODROME CONTROL SERVICE

• A unit established to provide air traffic control service to acrodrome traffic (ICAO).

• The tower is responsible for issuing information and clearances to aircraft under its control to achieve a safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic on and in the vicinity of an aerodrome.

APPROACH CONTROL SERVICE

• Air traffic control service for arriving or departing controlled flights.

• It is provided by an aerodrome control tower or area control center when it is necessary or desirable to combine the functions of the approach control services with those of the aerodrome control service or the area control service under the responsibility of one unit.

AREA CONTROL SERVICE

• Air traffic control service for controlled flights in control areas.

• It is provided by an area control service or by the unit providing approach control service in a controlled zone.

• The service may also be in a control area of limited extent that has been designated primarily to provide approach control service where no area control center is established.

• The types of air traffic involved;

• The density of air traffic;

• The meteorological conditions;

• Such other factors may be relevant.

DETERMINATION OF THE NEED FOR AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES

The need for the provision of air traffic services shall be determined by consideration of the following:

COMMUNICATION

• Airlines support a coordinated migration to data link as the primary means of controller-pilot communication while continuing the provision of voice communications for tactical interventions and non-routine communications.

• Data Link standards are, however, being implemented under various ATM programs, which are not interoperable.

NAVIGATION

• Despite ICAO General Assembly A37-11, we still see a slow progress in the implementation of vertically guided approaches based on Performance-based Navigation (PBN) concept.

• Airlines have invested heavily in modern on-board avionics, yet ground infrastructure and procedures are not keeping up.

• Today we still have a significant number of non-precision NDB approaches.

Chapter 2 Aeronautical Information Management

 A. INFORMATION MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS

Management of aeronautical data and aeronautical information shall include the following processes:

• collection

• processing

• quality control

• distribution

1. collection

2. processing

3. quality control

4. distribution

A. Information Management Requirements

Management of aeronautical data and aeronautical information shall include the following processes:

A.1 COLLECTION

• The identification of data originators shall be documented based on the scope of aeronautical data and aeronautical information to be collected.

• A record of data originators should be maintained Metadata requirements in Chapter 4 specify the information to be recorded for each originator.

• Each data element to be collected should be mapped to an identified data originator, in accordance with the formal arrangements established between data originators and the aeronautical information service (AIS).

• The list of aeronautical information subjects and their properties, as contained in Appendix 1, should be used to establish formal arrangements between the originator of AIS

B.1 PROCESSING

• Collected data shall be verified and validated for compliance with data quality requirements.

• Appendix 1 contains aeronautical data attributes and quality requirements (accuracy, resolution and integrity).

• Guidance material on the aeronautical data quality requirements (accuracy, resolution, integrity and traceability and protection requirements) may be found in the World Geodetic System — 1984 (WGS-84) Manual (Doc 9674).

• Guidance material on the management of aeronautical data quality is included in the Manual on the Quality Management System for Aeronautical Information Management (Doc 9839).

C.1. QUALITY CONTROL

1. Quality Management System

2. Quality Planning

3. Quality Control

4. Quality Assurance

5. Quality Improvement

6. Quality Management Principles

This chapter provides general requirements on the quality management system (QMS) related to aeronautical information management (AIM) processes:

Quality Management System

As defined in ISO 9000:2015, a QMS is part of a management system which is a set of interrelated or interacting elements of an organization to establish policies, objectives and processes to achieve those objectives with regard to quality.

• Establishment of a quality policy and quality objectives; 

• Quality planning; 

• Quality control;

• Quality assurance; and 

• Quality improvement.

Activities of Quality Management System generally include the following:

Quality Planning

• The primary intention of quality planning is to demonstrate how the QMS (Quality Management System) is applied to a specific case

• For example, when an organization is conducting more complex processes or some processes that need additional information.

  • It is also used to meet statutory, regulatory and customer requirements, to optimize use of resources in meeting quality objectives, to minimize the risk of nonconforming to the requirements and many other purposes.

Quality Control

• The quality control function of an organization first evolved when inspectors were hired to inspect products to differentiate between the good and the bad.

• The 100 percent inspection later evolved into sampling inspection.

• Quality control is a part of quality management focused on fulfilling quality requirements.

• In other words, the operational techniques and activities, such as sampling inspection mentioned above, are used to fulfill the requirements for quality.

Quality Assurance

• a part of quality management but it is focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled.

• In other words, it pertains to all those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a product will satisfy the requirements for quality.

QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

• Quality improvement is another part of quality management that is focused on increasing the ability to fulfill quality requirements.

• It is not concerned with correcting errors but concerned with doing things better to improve system efficiency and effectiveness.

• Plan

• Do

• Check

• Act

Process of Quality Improvement

PDCA cycle

Plan

Establish ownership and responsibility, inputs and outputs; risks and opportunities

Do

Implement Your Plan

Check

Continously monitor and measure ouputs meets your objectives

Act

Change and improve processes to meet objectives

PDCA cycle

ISO offers the ______ as a useful tool for continual improvement. The methodology applies to both high-level strategic processes and to simple operational activities.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES

The seven quality management principles on which the standards of the revised ISO 9000 series are based from the collective experience and knowledge of the international experts who participated in ISO Technical Committee.
