The Background
• 2006 – ICAO systematically assess the impact of SARPs on States and Industry– Directors General of Civil Aviation Conference on a Global Strategy for
Aviation Safety
• 2010 – ICAO develop methodology for impact assessment, ensure wide dissemination of available contextual information (HLSC)
• 2010 ‐ 37th Ass. recommended impact assessment when new SARPs are proposed

Background
• modernisation of ANC panels– Restructure of the Panels– New Panel Directives– New ANC Procedures
• Approval of the work programme• Prioritization of work
– Job Cards• All work assigned to panels on jobcards
– Impact Assessment• ANC developed and approved a basic impact assessment form

How are Impact Assessments used?
• Form completed by a panel does not go to the States– used by ANC to assess impact of proposed changes
– Used by Secretariat to provide contextual information in State Letter Draf

Limitations are Understood
• Its is not an exact Science• It is not quantitative• There will always be exceptions
– e.g. costs may be minimal for the majority but large for one or two States/aircraft types, etc
• There will be implied assumptions – State the assumptions if considered important

The Impact Assessment Form
• Considers impact on States and Industry separately– State relates to functions that can only supplied by the State e.g. legislation, safety oversight, accident investigation, etc.
– Industry relates to services provided by an entity• can be a State owned entity e.g. airport, ANSP, airline

The Impact Assessment Form
• Considers four key strategic objectives of ICAO– Safety – Security – Efficiency and – Environment
• Note: few proposals will impact all 4 key strategic areas
• Rationale box allows panel provide explanatory text, including any assumptions or exceptions, they have made

Form Explained
• Question 1 is (hopefully) self explanatory• Question 2
– Job Cards define a problem for which there may be a number of possible solutions. The impact assessment is presenting the solution which involves a proposal for new SARPs or PANS,
– ANC needs to know if other possible solutions were considered– Note: Often job cards calls on panel to produce SARPs so no other
solution may have been considered

Question 3a: Impact on State
• Read the statement and mark the box most appropriate
• Provide rationale for your answer (include any assumptions you have made or exceptions you have identified in reaching your decision)
• If unsure do not mark box and write unknown in rationale box
• Use neutral when there is no impact

Question 3b: Benefit versus Cost
• Provide you best judgement • Mark ‘Not applicable’ when you have determined the State will not have to incur a cost as a result of the proposed change
• If unable to reach a conclusion, mark ‘Not sure’

Question 4a: Impact on Industry

• Provide rationale for your answer (include any assumptions you have made or exceptions you have identified in reaching your decision)
• If unsure do not mark box and write unknown in rationale box
• Use neutral when there is no impact

Question 4b: Benefit versus Cost
• Provide your best judgement. • Dependent on the proposal being considered you may wish to
distinguish between different elements of the industry e.gbenefits for airlines might justify cost while not for ANSP.
• Mark ‘Not applicable’ when you have determined that industry will not have to incur a cost as a result of the proposed change
• If unable to reach a conclusion, mark ‘Not sure’Draf

Question 5b: Implementation
• Indicate how long you think it may take to implement (from time it becomes effective in the Annexes)
• Example: take States 2 years to implement regulations and industry 5‐10 years to put the ATCO fatigue risk management in place
