Appendix XII — 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

      1 Subject 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 Appendix.

      Application

      2 A 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 Appendix; and
(b) the conditions set out in clauses 3 and 4.
Note   Another Appendix 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 Appendix XI; 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.
