The national civil aviation authorities shall support the investigation in which they participate by supplying the requested information. In addition, they shall provide advisers and their equipment to the safety investigation authority in charge where relevant.

9(1)

A2.1.9.1

Any person involved who has knowledge of the occurrence of an accident or serious incident shall notify without delay the competent safety investigation authority of the State of Occurrence thereof.

The objective of the single European sky initiative is to enhance current air traffic safety standards, to contribute to the sustainable development of the air transport system and to improve the overall performance of air traffic management (ATM) and air navigation services (ANS) for general air traffic in the Contracting Parties, with a view to meeting the requirements of all airspace users. This single European sky shall comprise a coherent pan-European network of routes, network management and air traffic management systems based only on safety, efficiency and technical considerations, for the benefit of all airspace users. In pursuit of this objective, Regulation 549/2004 establishes a harmonized regulatory framework for the creation of the single European sky.

The application of Regulation 549/2004 and of the measures referred to the in basic regulations of the SES shall be without prejudice to Contracting Parties' sovereignty over their airspace and to the requirements of the Contracting Parties relating to public order, public security and defence matters, as set out in Article 13. Regulation 549/2004 and the measures referred to in the Basic Regulations of the SES do not cover military operations and training.

The application of Regulation 549/2004 and of the measures referred to in the Basic Regulations of the SES shall be without prejudice to the rights and duties of Contracting Parties under the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation (the Chicago Convention). In this context, an additional objective is to assist Contracting Parties in fulfilling their obligations under the Chicago Convention, by providing a basis for a common interpretation and uniform implementation of its provisions, and by ensuring that these provisions are duly taken into account in Regulation 549/2004 and in the rules drawn up for its implementation.
