ICAO has issued State letter (Reference PFA/SUP/EUR/2004/0410-07-0061.SLG, dated 9 March 2007)confirming the approval of the proposal for amendment of the Regional Supplementary Procedures - Doc.7030/4 in order to incorporate the 8.33 kHz above FL195 requirements. |

Permanent Commission Recommendation 05/6 |
EUROCONTROL Member States in general have supported Permanent Commission Recommendation 05/6 for an implementation of 8.33 kHz channel spacing above FL195 in the ICAO EUR Region from 15 March 2007.

Turbo-prop aircraft | | The supporting implementation plan recommends that mandatory carriage above FL195 be enforced, as a minimum, in those 30 States that enforce above FL245. This recommendation is justified on the basis that it will create a homogeneous area of operations that will: |
- mitigate against safety hazards due to non-8.33 compliant aircraft
- reduce ATC workload at complex transition zones
- facilitate the introduction of later phases of vertical expansion at a later date

Pre-Implementation Safety Case |
The Pre-Implementation Safety Case demonstrates that the 8.33 kHz implementation above FL195 in the ICAO EUR Region can be safely implemented through a set of arguments and corresponding evidence. In addition, the document provides a set of recommendations to EUROCONTROL relating to important safety issues which need to be acted upon.

|
The safety plan describes the activities required to ensure the safe implementation of 8.33 kHz above FL195 in the ICAO EUR Region.
|
|
|
The safety assessment report describes the Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA) and Preliminary System Safety Assessment (PSSA) performed for the planned 8.33 kHz implementation above FL195 in the ICAO EUR Region.
The FHA and PSSA were supported by three working sessions, held respectively at Eurocontrol Brussels, ENAV Italy, and DFS Langen.

8.33 kHz Above FL195, User Guide |
The 8.33 User Guide aims to provide, in a single document, a description of 8.33 kHz channel spacing above FL195, including institutional provisions, flight planning, operational procedures, aircraft retrofit, safety, frequency management and programme management aspects.
