09/20/10 AC A
(4) Data Service Provider (RTCA/DO-200A: Data Service Provider) (paragraph 13); and
(5) Contracting State Aeronautical Information Service or Terrain Data Agency paragraph 18).
b. With the exception of those organizations that operate data selection and packing tools covered under its data supplier’s Type 2 LOA, all other organizations that process data should comply with paragraph 13 of this AC and obtain a LOA.
c. Database production procedures of non-U.S. data
suppliers should comply with RTCA/DO-200A (or EUROCAE ED) to the satisfaction of the data supplier/user as verified by the supplier’s civil aviation authority (CAA). The supplier’s approval maybe considered acceptable and equivalent to the LOAs defined in this AC. The relevant foreign authority and its approval method (e.g., European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) LOA or Production Organisation Approval) must be identified to customers of the data. The suitability of the supplier may then be evaluated as part of the operational approval (see appendix 2).
d. This AC is structured to accommodate the FAA acceptance of a link (organization) as compliant with RTCA/DO-200 or DOA. To separate the links in a chain and grant a LOA to an organization requires mutual agreement of the data requirements between a data supplier and a customer (represented by a pair of interlocking chain links. Data requirements provide the basis for the processes performed on the data. Figure 1 of this AC shows a conceptual layout of atypical aeronautical data chain.
