9E.3, an aircraft:
(a) that is:
           (i) manufactured on or after 6 February 2014; or
           (ii) modified by having its transponder installation replaced on or after 6 February 2014; and
(b) that is operated:
           (i) in Class A, B, C or E airspace; or
           (ii) above 10 000 feet above mean sea level in Class G airspace;
must carry:
(c) a serviceable Mode S transponder that meets the standards:
           (i) for Mode S transponder equipment — in subsection 9C; and
           (ii) for ADS-B transmission using an approved equipment configuration set out in Appendix XI — in a clause or clauses of Appendix XI as follows:
            (A) clauses 2 and 5 of Part B; or
            (B) clause 7 of Part C; or
            (C) clause 8 of Part C; and
           (iii) for ADS-B transmission using an approved equipment configuration set out in Appendix XII — in clauses 1 and 4 in Part B of Appendix XII; or
       Note   The requirement is for aircraft to be fitted with a Mode S transponder with ADS-B OUT capability. That does not mean that ADS-B OUT transmission is also required under this paragraph. It means that, with the later connection of compatible GNSS position source equipment, ADS-B OUT can be transmitted as well as Mode S SSR responses.
(d) for an aircraft that is operated under the VFR:
 (i) in Class E airspace; or
 (ii) above 10 000 feet AMSL in Class G airspace;
       a serviceable integrated TABS device that meets the standards in Appendix XIII.
       Note   An aircraft operated under the VFR in Class E airspace or above 10 000 ft AMSL in Class G airspace has the option of complying with either subparagraph (c) or (d).
       An aircraft operated under the VFR or the IFR in Class A, B, or C airspace has no option but to comply with subparagraph (c).
       An aircraft operated under the IFR in Class E airspace or above 10 000 ft AMSL in Class G airspace has no option but to comply with subparagraph (c).
       9E.3Paragraph 9E.2 does not apply to an aircraft:
(a) operating in Class E airspace; or
(b) operating above 10 000 feet above mean sea level in Class G airspace;
       if the aircraft does not have:
(c) an engine; or
(d) sufficient engine-driven electrical power generation capacity to power a Mode S transponder.
       9E.4An aircraft operating at Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth aerodrome must carry a serviceable Mode S transponder that meets the standards of:
(a) subsection 9C; and
(b) the following clause or clauses of Appendix XI:
           (i) clauses 2 and 5 of Part B; or
           (ii) clause 7 of Part C; or
           (iii) clause 8 of Part C.
