Ref. Ares(2019)3139235 - 13/05/2019 Annex III to Final Report Revision of the SPI Regulation RMT.0679 – Surveillance, performance and interoperability December 2017 European Aviation Safety Agency Baseline Analysis Report – RMT.0679 Revision of SPI Baseline Analysis Report RMT.0679 Revision of Surveillance Performance and Interoperability Version 20 – 9 November 2017 BASIC INFORMATION The rulemaking group for the Rulemaking Task 0679 “Revision of Surveillance Performance and Interoperability Implementing Rule” has initiated a series of activities to assess the scale of the issues with surveillance performance and interoperability in the EASA Member States. This provides a baseline scenario to describe the current situation and what would occur without new regulatory proposals. The assessment of the baseline scenario was supported by surveys sent to the EASA Advisory Bodies (see survey map below) on 22 July 2016. These surveys were completed with additional studies and reports when the answers were not sufficient to assess the scale of the problem. This results in a Baseline Analysis Report (BAR) to support the Regulatory Impact Assessment for RMT.0679. The Agency would like to thank very much all the respondent who have enable by their answers to understand more in depth this issue and all the persons who contributed to the studies performed for the RMT.0679. The Agency welcomes feedback on the evidences and estimates gathered in this report (contact: [email protected]). Disclaimer The number of answers to this survey cannot ensure that the results are representative of the sector. Therefore the interpretation of the results has to be cautious. The Agency strongly recommends that you contact us ([email protected]) for any questions on the usage of the survey.
