Frequently Asked Questions
A pdf document does not dowload proprely. What can I do?
It could happen that after you clicked on a hyperlink to a pdf document, the server does not respond or you get a blank page. In that case, click on the Refresh/Reload button.
Downloading problem might also occur due to your browser settings, and in a number of specific compatibility cases (Adobe, supplier of Acrobat, is aware of the problem).
The most direct way to solve the problem is to right-click on the link which leads to the PDF file, and select the 'save target as...' (Internet Explorer). This will let you save the file to your hard drive. The file can then be opened directly with Acrobat Reader.
Can I do a search in a pdf document?
Yes, but you should use the Acrobat Search and not your browser search tool. To access the Acrobat search, click on the Binocular icon in the Acrobat toolbar.
LSSIP - Who can access the restricted area of Level 2 and the tools ?
All organisations and individuals on the AAB Member list, and all EUROCONTROL Agency staff may have access to the restricted areas. AAB Members and National Focal Points should login using the userid/password given to them; Agency staff log in under the userid/password that they normally use to access a public site.
Note that only some of the LSSIP information (the detailed information on ESSIP Objectives implementation in “Level 2” and the LSSIP Tools) is on the restricted website, all other information is public.
Why are documents distributed in pdf format?
Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF) is an open de facto standard for electronic document distribution. Adobe PDF is a universal file format that preserves all of the fonts, formatting, colours, and graphics of any source document. Adobe PDF files are compact and can be shared, viewed, navigated and printed.
SES Reporting - How public is the reported information?
SES Reporting information in Part III (Chapter 14 and Chapter 15), as is the rest of LSSIP Level 1, is public information once the document has been sent to the EC. EUROCONTROL’s report to the EC (the "EUROCONTROL Report on SES Legislation Implementation"), containing the analysis of all documents and recommendations, is also made public in order to be a useful instrument for the aviation community.
SES Reporting - What is the definition of CAR (Cross-border Airspace Relation) and CAB (Cross-border Airspace Block)?
CAR (Cross-border Airspace Relation): Relation between the ANSP(X) certified and/or based in State "X" with the ANSP/NSA/State Authority of State "Y" by which ANSP(X) provides ATS services in one or more cross-border airspace blocks (CAB's) under the sovereignty of State "Y";
CAB (Cross-border Airspace Block): Each block of airspace in which the ATS services are provided by an ANSP certified/based in a State different than the one holding the sovereignty of the CAB.
SES Reporting - What is the reporting channel?
The SES Reporting information in Part III (Chapter 14 and Chapter 15) should be sent to EUROCONTROL and not directly to the European Commission. A formal Mandate has been given to EUROCONTROL to collect these reports, analyse them and compile the "EUROCONTROL Report on SES Legislation Implementation", which is sent to the EC together with the individual States’ SES reports.
