ICAO Annex 6 Part 1, Chapter 6. and JAR
OPS 1.82
|
As yet this is not a requirement for these
aircraft, but every indications that either an install or a portable
unit will be required soon.
|
A long-standing mandate for all Public
Transport category has been in place for some time. In
most applications this requires the fitting or carriage of more
than one applicable unit.
|
Plug-and-play replacements for many "old" 121.5MhZ
units are available as well as "virgin" fit units
from Kannad
<LINK
TO PRODUCT> and
Artex
< LINK

In some countries and in some categories
of aviation a PLB (a hand-held 406MhZ emergency locator) may be
considered acceptable to meet the mandate, once it's evolved
< LINK

|
Monitoring of the 121.5MhZ beacons stops on
Feb 2009 worldwide. Mandates will be introduced across the EU
before that on a "per country" basis, but all with
completion required before that date.

Mode S.

UK CAA Mode
S information is available at www.caa.co.uk/modes
|
Starting from 31st March 2008 Flights in the
UK at and above FL100 and IFR flights in controlled airspace
below FL100 will require Mode S transponders.
|
From 31st March 2008 aircraft already required
to carry a transponder will be required to become Mode S compliant
(subject to a transition period).
|
Garmin, Filser and Garrecht enhanced and elementary
units, some as replacements for existing mode C transponders
< LINK
TO PRODUCT>
|
The UK CAA have allowed a four year transition
period for aircraft already fitted with Mode A/C transponders.
All aircraft being brought into service with a transponder must
be Mode S (Elementary) compliant by March 31st 2008.

Certified Lifejackets over water.
|
CAA ANO issue …
|
The latest issue of the ANO said that all
flights over water must carry certified life-jackets. An exemption
was promptly raised as the best jackets for G.A. aircraft are “yoke
type” and these are rarely certified.
|
No change. All safety equipment in Public
Transport aircraft must be certified.
For public transport aircraft the MK20SV gives
you the lowest life-costs of any certified life-jacket.
|
It’s no longer
legal to fly over water without a life-jacket, but it does NOT
need to be a certified unit so the Adams Aviation “FlySafe”

is
an ideal solution for G.A.

If using standard grey-code encoders pre-installation
checks and enhanced periodic maintenance checks will increase
operating costs unless a compliant encoder is fitted.
