Aircraft Tracking

Aircraft tracking − A process, established by the operator, that maintains and updates, at standardized intervals, a ground-based record of the four dimensional position of individual aircraft in flight. (Annex 6 Part 1 amendment 42 (10 Edition)) These recommendations submitted by ICAO arose after the loss of Malaysia Airlines airliner MH370 in 2014. As of now, the recommendations around flight tracking are only industry standards developed by ICAO throughout most of the world, not actual mandates, and each country’s aviation authority could potentially put forth requirements that reflect different readings of the ICAO recommendations. For now, ICAO has recommended that by November 2018, all airlines know where each of its aircraft are located while in flight at 15 minute intervals during normal operations. Furthermore, by 2021, ICAO recommends that each new aircraft coming off the production line must have the ability to autonomously broadcast its position at intervals of one minute or less should it enter a distress mode — a term still in the process of being defined by ICAO and local aviation authorities.

For any aircraft his modification is type design change. In order to bring the aircraft in compliance with the requirements of the recomendations it is necessary to: installation tracking system with GPS/IRIDIUM antenna, amend aircraft flight and maintenance manuals, provide operators training. All information needed for pilots training regarding TCAS version 7.1 is listed below. We provide complex services to our clients to installation aircraft tracking system: installation, replacement, supply tracking system i.a.w. the table below, documents approved by the Ukrainian Aviation Authorities, necessary tools, equipment, materials and personnel, consulting, technical support and assistance.

The factors listed below may lead to extra charges for upgrade of your TCAS processor: if the unit is unserviceable, has hidden defects, broken seals or repaired in organizations that are not authorized by the OEM, lack of data about the history of the unit (FAA Form 8130 or EASA FORM 1), if mandatory service bulletins are still not implemented.

DOCUMENTS (STC)

TCAS: CLEAR OF CONFLICT ... Documents approved by the Ukrainian NAA include: Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), Flight Manual Supplement, Maintenance Manual Supplement, Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) Supplement, Service Bulletin with instructions to perform maintenance by the Part 145 or Part M Subpart F organization (level of maintenance is line). Onboard TCAS checks (ground test) should be performed for a first aircraft in the Approved Model List. We can provide necessary tools and equipment, test set for TCAS check, materials and staff. The customer issues Engineering Order and final CRS. Attention to the organizations that would prefer to use the services of foreign companies! According to paragraph 2 of article 11 of the Air Code of Ukraine (doc. reference No. 3393-VI, revision 11.08.2013) "Aviation Rules of Ukraine must be observed by all legal and natural persons in Ukraine and by entities of aviation activities of Ukraine outside its territory." According to the Rules Part-145 (Ministry of Transportation and Communication of Ukraine Order No. 209, revision 07.10.2011), paragraph 145.A.45(a), any organisation maintaining an aircraft "shall use only applicable current maintenance data in the performance of maintenance including modifications and repairs" and paragraph 145.A.45(b)(1) "applicable maintenance data is: 1) any applicable requirements, procedures, operational directives or information issued by the authority responsible for supervision of the aircraft." According to the paragraph 2 of article 39 of the Air Code of Ukraine and the Resolution No. 520 issued on October 8, 2014 by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine is the authority responsible for supervision the airworthiness and maintenance of aircraft listed in the State Register of Civil Aircraft of Ukraine, so the relevant maintenance data must be approved by the State Aviation Service of Ukraine. So any change to type design (including STC) approved by other competent authority shall be validated by the State Aviation Service of Ukraine under Aviation Rules of Ukraine, Part-21 (Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine Order No. 27, 17.01.2014) before performing any maintenance work on the aircraft registered in the State Register of Civil Aircraft of Ukraine.
