aircraft fitted with, or carrying, ADS-B OUT equipment that is not an approved ADS-B OUT equipment configuration, approved EC device, approved integrated TABS device, or approved Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source device configuration, must not fly in Australian territory, unless the equipment is:
(a) deactivated; or
(b) set to transmit only a value of zero for the NUCp, NACp, NIC or SIL.
Note   It is considered equivalent to deactivation if NUCp, NACp, NIC or SIL is set to continually transmit only a value of zero.
       (7) Subsection (6) does not apply to a Part 131 aircraft if it is undertaking an ADS-B test flight in VMC in airspace below FL290.

26.25 Alternate GNSS position source for ADS-B OUT — requirements
       (1) For a Part 131 aircraft first issued with a certificate of airworthiness on or after 8 December 2016, an alternate GNSS position source is acceptable if the source:
(a) is certified by the NAA of a recognised country for use in IFR flight; and
(b) has included in its specification and operation the following:
           (i) GNSS FDE, computed in accordance with the definition at paragraph 1.7.3 of RTCA/DO-229D;
           (ii) the output function HPL, computed in accordance with the definition at paragraph 1.7.2 of RTCA/DO-229D;
           (iii) functionality that, for the purpose of HPL computation, accounts for the absence of the SA of the GPS in accordance with paragraph 1.8.1.1 of RTCA/DO-229D.
       (2) For a Part 131 aircraft first issued with a certificate of airworthiness before 8 December 2016, an alternate GNSS position source is acceptable if it meets the requirements of subsection (1), other than subparagraph (1) (b) (iii) which is optional.

26.26 Alternate ADS-B OUT equipment configuration — requirements
        An alternate ADS-B OUT equipment configuration must meet the following requirements:

(b) the AFM or flight manual supplement must attest to the approval or the acceptance;
(c) the GNSS system must meet the relevant performance requirements mentioned in section 26.25.

26.27 Approved Mode S transponder with Class B TABS position source device equipment configuration — requirements
       (1) A Mode S transponder must be of a type that is:
(a) authorised in accordance with (E)TSO‑C166B; or
(b) approved under Part 21 of CASR as having a level of performance equivalent to the standard mentioned in paragraph (a).
