Recipients must ensure that this notice is communicated to all members of their staff who need to take appropriate action or who may be interested in the contents of the notice.
DESCRIPTION
This SIAN is issued following EASA SIB 2013-11R1 issued on 20 January 2020.
Since EASA has identified that some Aircraft Flight Manuals (AFM) and Aircraft/Equipment Operating Manuals (AOM) relating to ACAS II do not provide adequate information on the use of the procedure to maintain safe separation from nearby aircraft, issued a revision of SIB 2013-11R1 to reinforce the use of ACAA II according to SERA.11014 rules.
Please refer to the attached SIB for further information and to the following links (please watch the videos and read the ACAS bulletins produced by Eurocontrol).
