v PREFACE The Quality Assurance Manual for Flight Procedure Design Doc 9906 consists of six volumes Volume 1 Flight Procedure Design Quality Assurance System Volume 2 Flight Procedure Designer Training Development of Flight Procedure Designer Training Programme Volume 3 Flight Procedure Design Software Validation Volume 4 Flight Procedures Design Construction to be developed Volume 5 Validation of Instrument Flight Procedures and Volume 6 Flight Validation Pilot Training and Evaluation Development of a Flight Validation Pilot Training Programme. Instrument flight procedures based on conventional ground-based navigational aids have always demanded a high level of quality control. The implementation of area navigation and associated airborne database navigation systems, however, means that even small errors in data can lead to catastrophic results. This significant change in data quality requirements accuracy, resolution and integrity has led to the need for a systemic quality assurance process. The Procedures for Air Navigation Services Aircraft Operations PANS-OPS, Doc 8168 Volume II, Part I, Section 2, Chapter 4, Quality Assurance, refers to this manual and requires that a State take measures to control the quality of the processes associated with the construction of instrument flight procedures. To this end, this manual has been assembled to provide guidance in attaining these stringent requirements for quality assurance in the procedure design process. All four volumes address crucial areas related to the attainment, maintenance and continual improvement of procedure design quality. Data quality management, procedure designer training, and validation of software are all integral elements of a quality assurance programme. Volume 1 Flight Procedure Design Quality Assurance System provides guidance for quality assurance in the elements of procedure design, such as procedure design documentation, verification and validation methods, and guidelines about the acquisition/processing of source information/data. It also provides a generic process flow diagram for the design and implementation of flight procedures. Volume 2 Flight Procedure Designer Training provides guidance for the establishment of flight procedure designer training. Training is the starting point for any quality assurance programme. This volume provides guidance for the establishment of a training programme. Volume 3 Flight Procedure Design Software Validation provides guidance for the validation not certification of procedure design tools, notably with regard to criteria. Volume 4 Flight Procedures Design Construction to be incorporated later. Volume 5 Validation of Instrument Flight Procedures provides guidance for the implementation of a validation process of instrument flight procedures. Volume 6 Flight Validation Pilot Training and Evaluation provides guidance for the establishment of a flight validation pilot training programme. 8/8/13 No. 1
vi The Quality Assurance Manual for Flight Procedure Design Volume 3 Note. In the independent volumes, when a reference is made to the term manual in the context of this document, without any further specification, it is presumed to refer to this volume of the Quality Assurance Manual for Flight Procedure Design. 8/8/13 No. 1
