Abstract
This paper is essentially a case study of a safety assessment of an air traffic system. Key issues concerning safety management system essentials; safety requirements derivation and safety assurance provision are discussed. The study is based on many safety assessments of air traffic systems recently undertaken for medium-sized UK airports. The impact of the EU directive on interoperability is also reviewed.
