We believe the following examples of methods, processes and activities successfully implemented by our stakeholders represent best practices contributing to the implementation of ADQ.
United Kingdom CAA
The Airspace Charter is designed to assist UK airspace users and ATC service providers. It defines the authorities, responsibilities and principles by which the Civil Aviation Authority's Directorate of Airspace Policy (DAP), as the airspace approval and regulatory authority, conducts the planning of airspace and related arrangements in the UK
CAP 724 Airspace Charter
UK CAA published a document to provide guidance on the various stages of the change process. Each ACP is unique and this document may not necessarily consider all aspects of any particular change request.
CAP 725 Airspace Change Process Guidance Document
In April 2008 CAA published CAP 779, The Regulation of Aeronautical Information Management Services. The use of AIM in the title acknowledges the transition that is underway and also leaves room for the regulatory role to widen and address Non State providers in the future
CAP 779 Regulation of Aeronautical Information Management Services
Irish Aviation Authority
On March 2010 the IAA issue a Notice to Air Navigation Service Providers to advise the EU Regulation 73/2010 (ADQ) of the entry into force of the Regulation and to highlight some significant provisions.

Slovenia Control
The EUROCONTROL Specification for the Electronic Aeronautical Information Publication (eAIP), Edition 2.0, 14 February 2011 states that applicants claiming conformance to this Specification shall complete an Implementation Conformance Statement. For this purpose Slovenia Control developed a template based on the table included in Annex B of the Specification. This template is here available both in PDF and MS Excel format.

Serbia and Montenegro Air Traffic Services Agency
GAP Analysis is often considered as a starting point for the development of an ADQ Implementation Plan. SMATSA started with drafting EC 73/2010 Gap Analysis shortly after the Regulation has been adopted. The preliminary, results of the Analysis were presented to international AIS community on the ADQ Roll-out workshop, held in June 2010 in EUROCONTROL (Brussels). This report summarizes the methodology used in SMATSA’s EC 73/2010 Gap Analysis.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) - USA
Noteworthy good practices include:
- establishment of an Enterprise Data Management Program to promote a common understanding of the data sets and data standardisation;
- involving all actors in a Data Governance Board;
- introduction of the concept of data stewardship;
- specifications for the collection of airport critical data
- explanation on how to submit this data to the FAA;

Portuguese Civil Aviation Agency
Portuguese CAA published an Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC) for training of personnel of the entities covered by Commission Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 of 26 January 2010 who are responsible for tasks in the provision of aeronautical data or aeronautical information in the single European sky.
The purpose of this AIC is to clarify and define procedures to ensure compliance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EU) No 73/2010, in terms of the training required for the personnel involved in the origination and notification of aeronautical data or aeronautical information to the AIS provider for purposes of publication in the IAIP (integrated aeronautical information package) and the VFR Manual.
