  Practical exercises
Today’s ATM system relies heavily on software systems in order to be able to function efficiently. In an industry in which safety is so important, the supporting software is equally important. This course provides guidance on the management of software safety assurance activities for ATM systems. The course addresses the concepts of safety assessment as per Regulation N° 2017/373 and its associated AMC/GM.
Central to the course are the following :
  • EUROCAE Document ED-153 (Guidelines for ANS Software Safety Assurance) and
  • EUROCAE Document 109A (Software integrity assurance considerations for CNS/ATM) systems.
The complete software lifecycle is addressed, including planning, identification of software requirements, allocation of software assurance levels (SWALs), compliance with SWALs, and audits and reviews.
Prerequisites
For service providers and competent authorities: The SAF-CHG-Intro course and SAF-CHG-AC-1 must be successfully completed before this course is followed.
For contractors/industry: The introduction to Regulation N° 2017/373 for the industry (SAF-CHG-IND) must be successfully completed before this course is followed.
Important Note

This course is consistent with Regulation No. 2017/373 ( laying down common requirements for service providers and the oversight in air traffic management/air navigation services and other air traffic management network functions) and its relevant Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM).
It uses ED Decision 2019-022-R as reference.
