TAWS (Part VII NPA’s)

New NPA’s for CAR 703, 704, 705 reviewed by Part VII Technical Committee meetings in 2003.

NPA’s passed at Oct. 29, 2003 CARC Committee, now with DOJ.

Estimate 1-2 years before regulations come into effect.

New aircraft compliant at promulgation. All aircraft compliant by promulgation + 2 years. Compliant with Altitude Accuracy Requirements by

promulgation + 5 years.

TAWS (Part VI NPA’s)

New NPA’s for CAR 605 scheduled to be presented at GOFR in Dec. 2003

Requires TSO C-151 Class B TAWS for Turbine Powered aircraft with 6 or more passenger seats.

RDIMS# 564695 v1

TAWS (Summary Table)

 

1                    Altitude Accuracy requirements apply (Alerting required independent of altimeter setting or deviations from ISA).2                    Relief from TAWS requirements for Day VFR operations.3                    Terrain & Airport database must be suitable for area of operation.4                    Class A TAWS (including Terrain Display) is always sufficient where a Class B TAWS is mandated.

Current guidance material on GPS in CBAAC 123R is applicable to operations using WAAS receivers.

WAAS receivers may be used to fly all existing GPS approaches.

There are not yet any Canadian approaches which take advantage of additional WAAS capabilities (e.g.: LPV approaches)
