Regulatory Plan to support the future ATM system in Australia UPDATE ON CASA RULEMAKING IN THE YEAR SINCE SITF/10

DP1102AS – published September 2011 Revised Plan for Aircraft Communication, Navigation and Surveillance Equipage in this Decade

Technologies for the future Australian ATM - to year 2020  GNSS primary means navigation for PBN with a back-up network of ground based navigation aids  About half the existing navaids to be retained  Mainly VOR and NDB  Mode S SSR in terminal areas, with ADS-B  ADS-B & MULTILAT for A-SMGCS at 4 major aerodromes  ADS-B surveillance in controlled airspace across the continent (plus Mode S SSR in high density en-route airspace on east coast)

Standards for Mode S transponders and changes to the ADS-B rule (NPRM1103AS)  Contained the international equipment standards for Mode S transponders (including Downlink Aircraft Parameters - DAPs and antenna diversity in aircraft >5700kg/250kt normal cruise TAS)  Also included conditions on flight with U/S ADS-B equipment and extended date for forward fitment of SA Aware in GNSS source for ADS-B - follow up to Conclusions taken at last SITF Meeting Singapore  See WP/10  CASA website:  NFRM 1103AS published on 25 Jan 2012 –

Aircraft mandates necessary for the future Australian ATM  GNSS primary means navigation – minimum equipage mandates required for PBN and ADS-B (CAO 20.18)  PBN NAV specs (NPRM 1002AS) include RNP 10, 4, Basic RNP 1, RNP APP, RNP AR, Baro-VNAV  Mode S transponders (with ADS-B capability)  Further ADS-B mandates in controlled airspace  TCAS II Version 7.1 – new turbine-powered aircraft i.a.w. the ICAO Annex 10 Volume IV standard

NPRM No 1105AS published January 2012  SATNAV minimum equipage requirement for PBN; Mode S transponders; ADS-B; forward fitment; TCAS II V7.1  Applicable Australian aircraft only- not foreign aircraft – although ADS-B requirements may be made applicable to foreign aircraft at later stage – see WP /11 for this Meeting CASA website: STANDARD::pc=PC_100829

NPRM 1105AS  SATNAV GNSS mandates (4)  new RPT/Charter aircraft from 6 Feb 2014  existing RPT/Charter aircraft from 4 Feb 2016  new AWK/Private aircraft used in IFR flight from 6 Feb 2014  existing AWK/Private used in IFR flight from 4 Feb 2016  Mode S transponder (with ADS-B capability) mandates (2)  All aircraft operating at Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth from 4 Feb 2016  Forward fitment new aircraft operating Class A, B, C, E and >10000ft in G from 6 Feb 2014  ADS-B mandates (3)  IFR flight - new aircraft - 06 Feb 2014  IFR flight – retrofit existing aircraft – by 02 Feb 2017  IFR flight within 500NM Perth - 04 Feb 2016  TCASII V7.1 mandate: forward fitment new aircraft from 1 Jan 2014 (ICAO date) Note : Existing aircraft = those on register before 06 Feb 2014; new aircraft = those registered on/after 06 Feb 2014

Proposed GNSS Navigation Equipment mandates ON/AFTER 6 February 2014 New RPT or CHTR aircraft (or retrofit GNSS installations in existing aircraft):  2 x TSO-C145 or -C146 or -C196 (or later versions) GNSS; or  1 x TSO-C145 or -C146 or -C196 GNSS + ADF or VOR; or  GNSS system that has been approved by CASA as capable of achieving RNP in accordance with CAO ON/AFTER 4 February 2016 Existing RPT or CHTR aircraft:  2 x TSO-C145 or -C146 or -C196 (or later versions) GNSS; or  1 x TSO-C129 or -C145 or -C146 or –C196 GNSS + ADF or VOR; or  GNSS that has been approved by CASA as capable of achieving RNP in accordance with CAO

Cost of the mandates for the existing Australian fleet of IFR aircraft  Approximately 4300 existing aircraft - cost estimated at $130M GNSS and ADS-B for installations not already completed  Benefit estimated at $120M + mostly savings by reduction of ground navaids.  Other benefits not costed - include fuel savings, environmental, safety, efficiency – very significant fuel savings estimates of PBN

Possible further aircraft mandates for ATM – under consideration  Mandates for:  ADS-B carriage all aircraft operating in Controlled Airspace (Class A, B, C, D, E airspace) - includes VFR aircraft – January 2020 (date to be confirmed)  TCAS II V7.1 retrofit existing turbine powered aeroplanes > 5700kg/19PAX operating >FL Jan 2017; (partial compliance with the ICAO standard)  NPRM on the above likely to be published before end-2012.

AC – updated February 2012 Provides guidance and advice on the airworthiness approval for the installation of aircraft ADS-B equipment (GNSS+ADS-B transponder combinations) Link to CASA website: main/rules/1998casr/021/021c45.pdf

ADS-B requirement for surface vehicles at A-SMGCS aerodromes Sydney, Melbourne (PH and BN later) Vehicles operating on the manoeuvring area of major aerodromes having Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System must be fitted with ADS-B transmitters (CASR Part 139 Regulation – see NFRM 0910AS April 2012) CASA website: pc=PC_100879

A-SMGCS – Airservices system at 4 major international airports

Summary of Australian ADS-B mandates  12 December Existing mandate for aircraft flight in airspace at and above FL290 - commences 12 December 2013 – applicable Australian and foreign aircraft.  Note: Class A airspace in Australia generally extends upwards from FL245 ADS-B & RVSM airspace extends upwards from FL290  Future ADS-B mandates - currently applicable only to Australian aircraft - now being promulgated (NFRM 1105AS) 1.Fitment to newly registered aircraft undertaking flight under the IFR – mandatory ADS-B from 6 February Retrofit of existing aircraft undertaking flight under the IFR - from 2 February 2017 aircraft must be ADS-B fitted 3.Western Australia airspace, all IFR aircraft operations - by 4 February Possible mandate - all aircraft operating in controlled airspace or above A100 in Class G – year 2020 (date to be confirmed) END

Summary of basic benefits of the Australian future ATM system/avionics mandates  Improved safety and ATM efficiency with Mode S and ADS-B surveillance  Flight path optimisation with GNSS PBN (costs, fuel, emissions, noise)  Increased air traffic density through accurate GNSS navigation and surveillance  Reduction in CFIT and runway overrun through higher accuracy and integrity of GNSS PBN guidance  Surface movement guidance and surveillance in low visibility (ADS-B surveillance)  Minimised aircraft noise and optimised noise abatement flight paths (PBN based SIDs and STARs) with GNSS PBN  Improved Search and Rescue detection and location (ADS-B surveillance)
