Commitment of No 1 AIDU

Motto: 'QUO CERTIOR EO TUTIOR' - The more fully informed the safer

 

 

The Unit badge was approved by Her Majesty The Queen in January, 1956. The Cresset signifies a navigation beacon, the scroll and padlock are symbolic of accurate information contained in the documents published by the Unit.


The motto may be loosely translated as:

"The more fully informed the safer"




 

No1 AIDU works to very strict guide lines covering all aspects of our product from the gathering of aeronautical information, the compilation and production of that information, to the procurement of materials and dissemination of the final product To this end the Unit has since 1999 continually held a certificate of excellence from the British Standards Institute (BSi) for compliance with EN ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems. Initially this was to the 1994 standard progressing to the 2000 standard in 2001and now moving on to the latest 2008 standard.


In addition to the ISO certification No1 AIDU is also certified to ED76 the European Directive governing all electronically gathered and produced aeronautical data. This data is produced in the required formats for the varied systems used in those aircraft operating with glass cockpits. This certification allows No1 AIDU to be in a position to move smoothly into our future commitment for the Single European Sky, ensuring that all of the UK Air Arms are capable of carrying out their commitments not only to UK but also European defence and NATO.
