Audit Audit is a systematic, independent and documented process for obtaining audit evidence and evaluating it objectively to determine the extent to which audit criteria are fulfilled. When two or more management systems are audited together, this is termed a combined audit. When two or more auditing organizations cooperate to audit a single auditee, this is termed a joint audit.

Automatic Co-ordination

Automatic Standard Co-ordination

For external transfers standard conditions apply where the flight satisfies criteria specified in a Letter of Agreement between the ATSU’s concerned. For internal transfers between responsibilities the standard conditions are specified internally, in Unit Operating Procedures. Under standard conditions the transfer of responsibility can be effected without the intervention of the giving or receiving controllers. Adherence to the standard conditions ensures a conflict free transition through the associated airspace.

An external capability specifies from the outside a value-added set of services the system provides to its users without revealing the internal structure of the system. The realisation of an external capability involves the participation of number of actors in interaction with the system. An internal capability is not visible from the outside but is necessary to group related requirements.

Quality Degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirements. The term "quality" can be used with adjectives such as poor, good or excellent.Inherent", as opposed to "assigned", means existing in something, especially as a permanent characteristic.


Quality Assurance Part of quality management focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled.


Quality Control Part of quality management focused on fulfilling quality requirements.


Quality index The quality of a resolution is quantified by the combination of Quality-Index criteria for which a value is calculated and a weighting applied. The sum of these weighted criterion values gives the resolution Quality-Index.

Quality Management

Quality management:Coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to quality. Direction and control with regard to quality generally includes establishment of the quality policy and quality objectives, quality planning, quality control, quality assurance and quality improvement.


Quality Management System

Management system to direct and control an organization with regard to quality.


Quality Plan Document specifying which procedures and associated resources shall be applied by whom and when to a specific project, product, process or contract. These procedures generally include those referring to quality management processes and to product realization processes. A quality plan often makes reference to parts of the quality manual or to procedure documents. A quality plan is generally one of the results of quality planning.


Quality Policy Overall intentions and direction of an organization related to quality as formally expressed by top management. Generally the quality policy is consistent with the overall policy of the organization and provides a framework for the setting of quality objectives. Quality management principles presented in this International Standard can form a basis for the establishment of a quality

Requirement Need or expectation that is stated, generally implied or obligatory. "Generally implied" means that it is custom or common practice for the organization, its customers and other interested parties, that the need or expectation under consideration is implied. A qualifier can be used to denote a specific type of requirement, e.g. product requirement, quality management requirement, customer requirement. A specified requirement is one that is stated, for example in a document. Requirements can be generated by different interested parties. P.S. This definition differs from that provided in 3.12.1 of ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2004. 3.12.1 requirement: Expression in the content of a document conveying criteria to be fulfilled if compliance with the document is to be claimed and from which no deviation is permitted.

Shadow mode This methodology is feasible for testing systems in real time and are characterised by the non-interfering use of a new system or function in a real operational environment. It represents a way to conduct relevant validation steps for prototypes designed and built to satisfy operational standards through an incremental development process. Shadow mode trial of a prototype need to be fed with live data from the environment (e.g. radar and other data), the new system or function is driven by inputs from the operational system but does not feed its output back into it (there is a one-way interface). Parameters used during the simulation can be varied when running a shadow mode trial and multiple measurements are possible, however it is not possible to ensure that a full range of conditions are experienced (emergencies and extreme conditions would not be requested).
