Abstract:

This working paper presents the views of the United States relative to a proposed change in the North Atlantic System Planning Group's decision-making procedure. This view is that the decision making process is composed of a number of interrelated parts - a target level of safety, a collision risk analysis, a minimum navigation performance specification, a monitoring procedure, a certification procedure and a set of decision criteria - and that a change to any part of this process cannot be made in isolation from the remainder of the process. It is shown that the proposed weighting procedure fails to find a basis in the overall decision-making process. Rather, the weighting procedure changes only one component of the overall process, resulting in several deficiencies. It is also shown that the resulting procedure is incompatible with the other elements of the total decision-making process. As a result, it is concluded that use of the proposed weighting procedure fails to assure adequate control of collision risk vis-a-vis a target level of safety, which is the principal objective of the minimum navigation performance specification.
