Schedule 5 — Approved equipment configuration — EC device — VFR flight below FL290 only

Part A — ADS-B transmitting equipment — approval and application

      Approved equipment configuration — EC device
       1Subject to this Part, an equipment configuration for ADS‑B transmitting equipment is approved if it is an electronic conspicuity device (an EC device) that complies with the standards specified in Part B of this Schedule.
Note   Only EC devices that meet all of the requirements of this Schedule are EC devices for the purposes of this Schedule.

      Application
       2An EC device carried on an aircraft has an approved equipment configuration if it complies with:
       (a)              the standards in Part B of this Schedule; and
       (b)              the conditions set out in clause 3.
Note   Another Schedule may apply to the equipment in a VFR flight.
       3For paragraph 2 (b), an EC device must not be operated in transmitting mode:
       (a)              in VFR flight at or above FL290; or
       (b)              concurrently with a Mode S transponder that is also transmitting ADS-B.
Note   An EC device may be operated concurrently with a Mode A/C, or a Mode S transponder (other than one that is transmitting ADS‑B) but it is not a substitute for mandatory carriage of a transponder in relevant airspace.

Part B — Standards for an EC device
       1Subject to clauses 3 and 4, an EC device must meet the technical specifications in UK CAP 1391.
       2An EC device must use a Class B TABS position source that complies with the performance standards specified in (E)TSO-C199, as in force from time to time.
       3An EC device must:
       (a)              be capable of transmitting a SIL value of 1, in accordance with the standards in UK CAP 1391 for an EC device that uses a Class B TABS position source; and
       (b)              transmit that SIL value of 1.
       4Despite the standards in UK CAP 1391, an EC device must:
       (a)              meet the requirements described in paragraph 2.2.3.2.7.2.4.6 of RTCA/DO‑260B for transmitting an SDA of 1; and
       (b)              transmit an SDA value of 1.
       5An EC device must use a barometric encoder for altitude information.
       6An EC device must be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
       7An EC device, when mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, must not:
       (a)              interfere with aircraft controls; or
       (b)              otherwise affect the safe operation of the aircraft.
       8The following administrative standards for an EC device must be complied with:
Note   See paragraph 3 (b) in Schedule 1.
       (a)              an EC device must have a statement of compliance (however described) from the EC device manufacturer certifying that the device meets the requirements mentioned in clauses 1 to 5 (a declaration of capability and conformance to the requirements
