New TCAS logic would definitely bring significant safety benefits... − such conclusion was made by ICAO investigations that has issued the new requirements for forward fit (from 1 January 2014) and retrofit (by 1 January 2017) of aircraft ACAS installations with an upgraded collision avoidance logic known as TCAS Version 7.1 (Amendment 85 to Annex 10, Volume IV). Similar deadlines were set by the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine in the Operational Directive No. ED-02-15. The European Commission has published Regulation No. 1332/2011 mandating the carriage of ACAS II version 7.1 within European Union airspace from 1 December 2015 by all civil aircraft.

For any aircraft to upgrade TCAS to software version 7.1 means nothing more than modification, i.e. type design change. In order to bring the aircraft in compliance with the requirements of the directive it is necessary to: replace TCAS processor with SW version 7.0 by a similar unit with SW version 7.1, amend aircraft flight and maintenance manuals, provide pilots training with TCAS version 7.1 features. All information needed for pilots training regarding TCAS version 7.1 is listed below. We provide complex services to our clients to upgrade TCAS to version 7.1: TCAS processor modification, replacement, supply or/and rent (lease) 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 TTR-920 is not upgradable to Change 7.1. Aircraft equipped with TTR-920 processor require replacement of TTR-920 by TTR-921 or TTR-2100 processor. Caution! 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)
