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 CAA’s airspace change process published in this guidance sets out how CAA gives effect to the role to approve changes to airspace design and to the law and policy which govern this role. This guidance sets out the framework for the stages of the process and activities from conception through consulting to regulatory decision. Additionally, this guidance covers implementation and subsequent review of that change.
CAP 1616 Airspace Design: Guidance on the regulatory process for changing airspace design including community engagement requirements
This CAP provides guidance for the origination, management, transmission and distribution of aeronautical data and aeronautical information published in the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package (IAIP). This CAP also specifies the applicable guidance and acceptable standards for complying with European Regulations EU No. 73/2010 & EU No. 1029/2014.
CAP 1054 Aeronautical Information Management
This CAP provides additional guidance for aerodrome operators and other data originators (including contracted activities) to support compliance with the Regulation EU 139/2014, EU 73/2010 and relevant ICAO SARPS. This guidance also complements AMC and GM to the EU 139/2014.
CAP 1732 Aerodrome Survey Guidance
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.
Notice to Air Navigation Service Providers Nr. S14 from 03/03/2010
On March 2010 the IAA launch an Ordnance Survey Ireland Tender for Areas 2 & Area 3. In August 2011 the IAA launch a tender for a Web-based Aeronautical Mapping Solution.

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.

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.

Croatian Civil Aviation Agency
Croatian Civil Aviation Agency published an Air Safety Order with a syllabus for a training course for additional training of personnel of the entities covered by Commission Regulation (EU) no. 73/2010.
The course includes three main modules:
- Introduction to the basic regulatory framework for civil aviation (international, EU and national legislation)
- Aerodromes
- Geodetic data in civil aviation
