EUROCONTROL’s NSA Human Resources Application – the ICAO-endorsed solution for the ANS Oversight Domain is now available worldwide

EUROCONTROL’s web-based application provides a common and integrated approach for the planning, monitoring and response to HR issues. The N-HRA can be used to manage:

• staff planning and monitoring processes,
• training plans and monitoring processes, as well as,
• role requirements and competency monitoring processes. 

Furthermore, the N-HRA provides a methodology to determine an ANS Oversight Domain’s staffing requirements for personnel performing safety oversight functions.

The application helps to ensure that staff shortages can be minimised and alleviated. The N-HRA is complementary to the ICAO iSTARS CAA HR Toolkit that can be used to estimate the number of inspectors that States may need for their safety oversight activities.

Currently the application is used and accessible by 24 EUROCONTROL Member States. However, a policy was recently put in place to also provide non-EUROCONTROL States with access to the N-HRA.   

State authorities from around the world can now make use of the web-based application after signing a License Agreement. The tool is not provided free of charge, however, EUROCONTROL offers a free six month trial via an Evaluation License Agreement to those States interested in testing its capabilities.
