Standards development and EUROCAE activities are specifically recognised in this Regulation as an essential element in support of SESAR deployment.
MADRID, SPAIN – The SESAR Deployment Manager (SDM) and the European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE) signed a Memorandum of Cooperation. The MoC provides the principles and sets a framework for efficient cooperation and communication between the SDM and EUROCAE with regard to SESAR deployment, in light of Regulation 409/2013.
It is essential that EUROCAE and the SDM are closely coordinating and exchanging information on the standards development process and progress of relevant activities within EUROCAE on the one hand, but also for the SDM to provide information to EUROCAE on relevant developments regarding the deployment programme that could impact the standardisation activities. The MoC coordination is complementary to the coordination that will also take place in the European ATM Standardisation Coordination Group (EASCG) and the results will be reflected in the EASCG Rolling Plan.
Standards development and EUROCAE activities are specifically recognised in this Regulation as an essential element in support of SESAR deployment.
EUROCAE plays a key role on the European scene for the development of standards for Aviation, including Air Traffic Management. Through this cooperation, the SDM and EUROCAE will contribute to the provision of the required standards for a successful deployment of SESAR.
Massimo Garbini, Managing Director SESAR Deployment Manager said: “This formalization of the continuous dialogue between the SDM and EUROCAE will help reduce significantly the risk of non-timely availability or lack of necessary standards, we are very happy to officially welcome EUROCAE into SESAR Deployment today.”
Christian Schleifer, Secretary General EUROCAE, said “EUROCAE provide the essential bridge between research and development to deployment by offering a platform for voluntary experts to develop technical standards. The MoC is a significant milestone for EUROCAE to ensure consistent and efficient development of standards thanks to close coordination with the SDM.”
