EUROCONTROL Voluntary ATM Incident Reporting System (EVAIR)

EUROCONTROL Voluntary ATM Incident Reporting System (EVAIR)

Description

EUROCONTROL's Voluntary ATM Incident Reporting (EVAIR) provides a common platform for State Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and aircraft operators (AOs) to comply with Air Traffic Management (ATM) safety requirements when exchanging safety-related information.

EVAIR is the first example of voluntary ATM incident data collection at pan-European level. It was developed to enable a proactive approach to ATM and Air Navigation Service (ANS) safety.

The collaboration with ANSPs and AOs, who are actively involved in the reporting, enhances EVAIR’s contribution to the improvement of ATM safety.

The incident reporting, data collection and feedback process as main activities rely on the fruitful and constant collaboration between airlines and their associations (IATA, ERAA, IACA, ELFA), Air Navigation Service Provides (ANSPs) and EUROCONTROL.

In this process, EUROCONTROL facilitates the dialogue and exchange of data between airlines and ANSPs; it shares information and makes it available for stakeholders to support a preventive and proactive approach to safety in the form of active feedback, quick fix of problems and sharing of lessons learned.

Airlines Directory For Use During PLOC

Prolonged Loss of Communication (PLOC) or COMMLOSS has serious consequences on ATM. The maintained by EVAIR Airlines Directory for use during prolonged loss of communication events aims to provide the ANSPs with the relevant contact details of the AOs to address the issue. The directory contains the AO’s name, ICAO code, dispatch office phone number and notes providing information on the airline AO’s dispatch office working hours and availability. The contact details are strictly restricted for use in operations and in cases of PLOC, and may be accessed only by operational staff. 

ATS providers wishing to obtain access to the Airlines Directory shall contact the EUROCONTROL EVAIR team at evair@eurocontrol.int.
