Schedule 4 — Approved equipment configuration — Integrated TABS device — VFR flight below FL290 only

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

      Approved equipment configuration — integrated TABS device
       1Subject to this Part, an equipment configuration for ADS-B transmitting equipment is approved if it is an integrated TABS device that complies with the standards specified in Part B of this Schedule.

      Application
       2An integrated TABS 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 integrated TABS device may only be operated in transmitting mode:
       (a)              in VFR flight below FL290; and
       (b)              in Class D, Class E or Class G airspace.
Note   An integrated TABS device is not a substitute for mandatory carriage of a transponder in relevant airspace, except in Class E airspace, or in Class G airspace above 10 000 ft: see Schedule 1AA, paragraph 5 (b).

Part B — Standards for an integrated TABS device
       1An integrated TABS device must meet the technical specifications in (E)TSO‑C199, as in force from time to time, that are for a device with integrated Class A TABS and Class B TABS functionality.
       2An integrated TABS device must transmit a SIL value of 1.
       3Subject to clause 4, an integrated TABS device must be authorised by the relevant NAA of the equipment manufacturer as meeting the standards mentioned in clauses 1 and 2.
       4Clause 3 does not apply to an integrated TABS device carried on certain light sport, experimental and other aircraft provided that the TABS device that is carried:
       (a)              provides the pilot, other aircraft and ATC with the same transponder and surveillance capability as would be provided if an integrated TABS device were expressly authorised by the relevant NAA; and
       (b)              the pilot has a statement of compliance (or however described) from the equipment manufacturer certifying that the equipment otherwise meets the standards mentioned in clauses 1 and 2.
