Schedule 3 — Approved equipment configuration — Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source device — VFR flight below FL290 only

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

      Approved equipment configuration — Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source device
       1Subject to this Part, an equipment configuration for ADS‑B transmitting equipment is approved if it is a Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source device that complies with the standards specified in Part B of this Schedule.

      Application
       2A Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source 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 clauses 3 and 4.
Note   Another Schedule may apply to the equipment in a VFR flight.
       3For paragraph 2 (b), a Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source device may only be operated in VFR flight below FL290.
       4For paragraph 2 (b), if a Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source device transmits a SIL value of less than 2, the aircraft must not enter controlled airspace in which:
       (a)              aircraft are required to carry serviceable ADS‑B transmitting equipment that complies with an approved equipment configuration in accordance with Schedule 2; or
       (b)              VFR aircraft are required to carry ADS-B transmitting equipment.
Note   Carriage of a Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source device does not remove the requirement to obtain ATC clearance to operate in Class B or C airspace. Nor does it remove the requirement to obtain CASA approval to operate in Class A airspace – see subregulation 99AA (3) of CAR.

Part B — Standards for a Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source device

      Mode S transponder — standard
       1The Mode S transponder must be of a type that:
       (a)              is authorised in accordance with (E)TSO-C166B, as in force from time to time; or
       (b)              approved in writing by CASA as meeting the specifications in RTCA/DO‑260B, whether dated 2 December 2009, or a later version as in force from time to time; or
       (c)              is authorised in writing by CASA as being equivalent to a device mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b).
       2When required to be operated, the Mode S transponder must transmit NACp, NIC, SIL and SDA values in accordance with the authorised capability of the GNSS position source.

      GNSS position source equipment
       3The geographical position transmitted by the Mode S transponder must be determined by:
       (a)              a Class B TABS position source device that is authorised in accordance with (E)TSO‑C199, as in force from time to time; or
       (b)
