What must an IAM operator do if they discover erroneous, inconsistent, or missing data in an aeronautical database that could be a hazard to flight?

The IAM operator must report the issue to the database provider, inform all personnel concerned, and ensure that the affected data is not used. This is in addition to any other occurrence-reporting requirements under Regulation (EU) No 376/2014.

When an IAM operator identifies a data error in an aeronautical database that could affect flight safety, what immediate actions must they take besides reporting to the provider?

Q: What are the three main obligations of an IAM operator regarding aeronautical databases under UAM.IDE.MVCA.355?

The IAM operator must: (1) ensure that aeronautical databases used on certified aircraft system applications meet data quality requirements adequate for the intended use; (2) ensure timely distribution and update of current and unaltered aeronautical databases to all aircraft that require them; (3) report to the database provider instances of erroneous, inconsistent, or missing data that might reasonably be expected to constitute a hazard to flight, and in such cases inform all personnel concerned and ensure the affected data is not used.

Q: What quality standard must aeronautical databases meet before they are used on certified aircraft system applications by an IAM operator?

The aeronautical databases must meet the data quality requirements that are adequate for the intended use of the data.

Q: How must an IAM operator handle the distribution and updating of aeronautical databases to aircraft?

The IAM operator must ensure the timely distribution and update of current and unaltered aeronautical databases to all aircraft that require them.
