7.1.3 Local agreement between aerodrome and ATM/ANS providers

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/373 [4], ATS.OR.110, ‘An ATS provider shall establish arrangements with the operator of the aerodrome at which it provides ATS to ensure adequate coordination of activities and services provided, as well as exchange of relevant data and information’. This requirement is supported by a set of AMC and GM which address specific aspects of such coordination. A corresponding requirement (point (b)(1) of ADR.OR.C.005) is stipulated in Regulation (EU) No 139/2014 [7] addressing the aerodrome operator. In the case of remote aerodrome ATS, these arrangements should additionally cover the elements contained in Section 7.1.2. Once the system is in place and operational, the arrangements should also cover all measures relevant to operation, including but not limited to: prevention of any new electrical equipment interference with the system elements (EMC compatibility); detailed planning of maintenance activities that might have an effect on the system elements; and access rights and procedures for equipment rooms and shelters that house more than one item of suppliers’ equipment.
