Air navigation service providers shall assess the impact of descending aircraft which are not equipped with radio equipment with 8,33 kHz channel spacing capability below FL 195, taking into account factors such as minimum safe crossing altitudes, and determine whether modifications to sector capacity or airspace design/structures are required.

Directive 2004/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) establishes minimum health and safety requirements to protect workers against the risks arising from exposure to electromagnetic fields.

(i) Descent below decision height/altitude or minimum descent height/altitude without the required visual reference.

The assessment covers the transposition and implementation of two Directives: Council Directive 92/57/EEC of 24 June 1992 on the implementation of minimum safety and health requirements at temporary or mobile construction sites[3] and Council Directive 92/58/EEC of 24 June 1992 on the minimum requirements for the provision of safety and/or health signs at work[4], in the EU-15 countries only.

Whereas it is therefore necessary to extend to self-employed persons and to employers where they are personally engaged in work activity on the site certain relevant provisions of Council Directive 89/655/EEC of 30 November 1989 concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for the use of work equipment by workers at work (second individual Directive) (6), and of Council Directive 89/656/EEC of 30 November 1989 on the minimum health and safety requirements for the use by workers of personal protective equipment at the workplace (third individual Directive) (7);

continuation of the controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) prevention programme, including the introduction of predictive terrain hazard warning functions (such as enhanced ground proximity warning systems (EGPWS) and minimum safe altitude warning (MSAW) systems)
