GM1 DAT.OR.100 Aeronautical data and
information
ED Decision 2017/001/R
GENERAL
(a) In the context of this Regulation, aeronautical databases should include databases, used on certified aircraft applications, that support the flight operation of aircraft for the purpose of primary communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) or supplementing CNS.
(1) Database used in primary CNS applications (e.g. flight management system (FMS)).
(2) Database used in supplementary CNS applications including but not limited to systems generating alerts and used for awareness having the following databases:
(i) database for synthetic vision systems;
(ii) terrain database (TAWS);
(iii) obstacle database (TAWS);
(iv) aerodrome mapping database (AMDB);
(v) brake assistance to vacate; and
(vi) surface indication and alert system.
(b) Databases for which the DAT provider is not required to be certified in accordance with this Regulation include but are not limited to:
(1) databases provided and/or used by the operator of the aircraft that are monitored under the operator’s responsibility and not loaded into certified aircraft applications (e.g. airport moving map used in electronic flight bags (EFBs), take-off and landing performance used in EFBs);
(2) databases not having any safety affect (e.g. used for passenger in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems outside the flight deck, etc.); and
(3) databases for systems applications/equipment installed on aircraft certified for visual flight rules (VFR) operation only, except those used for primary navigation to meet the airspace usage requirements.
EASA aviation regulations define aeronautical databases requiring certification, focusing on primary and supplementary communication, navigation, and surveillance systems. Excluded are operator-managed databases, those without safety impact (like in-flight entertainment), and databases used in visual flight rules aircraft, unless used for primary navigation meeting airspace requirements.
