6. The aerodrome operator shall transmit the data collected to the aeronautical information service provider in accordance with the provisions of the written agreement with the aerodrome information service provider.
An air navigation service provider is an aeronautical data provider for the air navigation services data it provides.
An aerodrome operator or an air navigation service provider may, for all or part of the data from which it is a supplier, entrust all tasks and obligations associated with the provision of data to a third party. In this case, a written agreement is established between the third party and the aerodrome operator or the air navigation service provider.
This third party becomes a data provider under this Order and complies with the associated requirements and, where applicable, with Regulation (EU) No. 73/2010. This includes a written agreement with the aeronautical information service provider specifying the aerodrome data provided on behalf of the aerodrome operator or air navigation service provider.
