NAV CANADA VIA EMAIL February 22, 2016 Dear MadamiSir: SUBJECT: Implementation of NAV CANADA Level of Service Policy for Aeronautical Information Management Services ‘The purpose of this letter is to provide information on the new NAV CANADA Level of Service Policy for Aeronautical Information Management Services. NAV CANADA is designated by the Civil Air Navigation Services Commercialization Act as the sole authority in Canada for providing aeronautical information services, under Annex 4 and 15 of the Chicago Convention. These services include receiving andior originating, collating of assembling, editing, formatting publishing, storing and distributing aoronautical information/data for Canada and areas assigned jurisdiction. However, NAV CANADA is not tne sole authority for the development and maintenance of instrument procedures that support air operations. Prior to the publication of the subject policy, the NAV CANADA Level of Service (LOS) Policy did not address the issue of responsibilty for design and maintenance of instrument procedures and no policy was officially transferred to NAV CANADA at commercialization. NAV CANADA initiated consultation in summer 2012 regarding a new policy to deal with this deficiency and provide clarity to customers and stakeholders, including extemal design organizations (EDO). The consultation has now concluded and the new Policy is attached in addition to being available on the NAV CANADA website. The amendment to the LOS Policy sets out the conditions and criteria under which NAV CANADA will bear the cost for the design and maintenance of instrument procedures. For airports that do not qualify ‘under this policy, the airport authority or other stakeholder requesting new instrument procedures or ongoing maintenance of existing instrument procedures has the option to hire an EDO. Othorwise, the instrument procedure(s} could be removed from the instrument procedure inventory and Canada Air Pilot (CAP) andlor Restricted Canada Air Pilot (RCAP). wwe set www.naveanada.ca 7 re Nc SeAs of 1 January 2016, this amendment will be implemented using a staged approach.
