26
Communication with...

• Procedure designers
• on a daily basis with the team of designers
• once or twice a year on a national or regional
  basis
• Pilots
• to check designed information
• to inform of regulation constraints
• Controllers
• to evaluate ATC constraints

27
National or regional communication

• To improve a common use of the regulation
• To lead to
• an average level of safety
• an optimisation of trajectories

28
Communication targets 1/3

• Check technical skill
• Increase self-confidence
• Point out new solutions to common problems

29
Communication targets 2/3

• Promote standard level of information
• new ICAO criteria
• amendments of existing criteria
• Enhance criteria implementation
• Feed-back from designers to OCP members

30
Communication targets 3/3

• Achieve an average regional level of
• knowledge of the designers
• safety of the trajectories

31
Communication and information means

• Seminars
• Meeting
• Training courses
• Use of common software tools
• Devoted Web sites
