Decision amending Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) for UK Reg (EU) 2017/373 Annex IV Part-ATS regarding the problematic use of psychoactive substances

Annex IV ‘Part-ATS’ to Regulation (EU) 2017/373 as retained (and amended in UK domestic law) under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, includes a requirement for air traffic control service providers to develop and implement a procedure for the detection of cases of problematic use of psychoactive substances by air traffic controllers.
The CAA has established additional, detailed acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM) relating to this requirement, to support industry in their implementation activities. These AMC and GM, complemented by a policy document that explains the CAA’s processes for oversight of such a rostering system, replace those previously adopted through ORS9 CAA Decision No 1 dated 22 December 2020.
