Wolfgang Graf (skyguide): In my opinion it's a good idea to have such a checklist.
STEFFEN SIEGL
I support this approach. I think it is a benefit for AISPs as well as System providers.
UROS GROSELJ
Fully support this approach.
JAMES LANGHAM
Yes, definitely support this. The checklist is very useful.
