IR Implementing rule

## 1.1 Purpose and intended readership

This document provides guidance to support both:

organisations (e.g. air traffic service providers, aerodrome operators) implementing, or considering the implementation of [remote aerodrome ATS](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/remote-aerodrome-ats); and the competent authorities in charge of the approval of remote aerodrome ATS implementation.

This document also describes the general concept of remote aerodrome ATS to the ATM community by establishing a common baseline and understanding thereof. In addition, it provides clarification about and consistency with related terms and definitions.

The document lists areas and issues for consideration when implementing remote aerodrome ATS, in particular those related to change management, safety and human factors. However, it should be noted that every case of implementation is unique and is subject to a local safety assessment, in accordance with applicable regulations and the procedures accepted by the relevant competent authority.

In order to provide a single source of information encompassing all the aspects related to remote aerodrome ATS, EASA has opted for the development of a stand-alone ‘Guidance Material’ document. In order to ensure regulatory consistency with existing regulatory material, the aspects related to the qualification and training of air traffic controllers (ATCOs) are dealt with through a separate set of AMC and GM to Regulation (EU) 2015/340 \[5].
