CARMA

Compliance and Regulation Management Application

CARMA suite now consists of two applications:

  • CARMA: Compliance and Regulation Management Application for both Competent Authorities (CARMA CA) and Service Providers (CARMA SP) who need to comply with ATM/ANS and ADR Regulations.
  • ARM: Aviation Regulation Management, a database with a central and national facility. This is available both stand-alone and embedded within CARMA CA and CARMA SP.

CARMA for Service Providers (CARMA SP)

CARMA enables service providers to plan and monitor their internal and external compliance management as well as maintain regulation-based compliance matrices, and monitor Corrective Action Plans (CAPs).  As of February 2026, there are 40 SPs using CARMA including ANSPs, Met Providers and Airports.

CARMA for Competent Authorities (CARMA CA)

CARMA CA was redesigned in 2024 to align with the SP application and focus on compliance and regulation management. It provides a CA with an overview of its Service Providers (audit management and CAP approval and Implementation) which need to comply with ATM/ANS and ADR regulations. The application also allows a CA to monitor internal compliance with the use of the compliance matrix workflow.

Both CARMA applications are web-based applications. They include:

  • Updated access to relevant regulations via the ARM, which is the cornerstone for compliance management, alleviating the administrative burden of maintaining regulation updates.
  • Access to a Power BI dashboard directly from the application, facilitating reporting and monitoring.

ARM – Aviation Regulation Management

The ARM database contains both a central and national facility to provide an updated set of regulations for compliance management for ATM/ANS and ADR oversight. It contains both a central and national facility.

  • Central Facility
    • Provides a stand-alone and up-to-date database on relevant common regulations for the ATM/ANS and ADR oversight domains.
    • Data maintained centrally and data displayed as text or pdf/jpeg attachments.
    • A user with “Read Only” access can view and search any published regulation in the database.
  • National Facility
    Enables a user to add any relevant national regulations/standards. Any national regulation added is only visible to that individual organisation.

These applications are relatively easy to use and come with a user guide and tutorial videos; while no formal training course is required, short familiarisation sessions can be provided online for first-time users. Once the familiarisation phase is complete, a user can work independently with the application to upload their data and give access to relevant internal users.

Access conditions

To use CARMA on a permanent basis, a licence agreement needs to be signed.  A license fee may be applicable for some users.
