Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 |
The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 laying down requirements for the performance and the interoperability of surveillance for the Single European Sky, was published in the Official Journal of the European Commission on 23 November 2011.
Article 8 on “State Aircraft” lays down regulatory measures for State aircraft operators, air traffic service providers and Member States.
Besides detailed equipage requirements for ELS, EHS, ADS-B OUT and related deadlines it acknowledges the fact that not all State aircraft could be equipped as originally planned! Therefore it describes transitional arrangements for non-Mode-S equipped State aircraft.

Article 8 applicable to State aircraft |
|
Below DSS/CM provides an Executive Summary of the content of article 8. However, it has to be stressed that the only legally binding text is the text of the Implementing Regulation itself.
|
- All State aircraft flying IFR/GAT have to be ELS capable by 7 December 2017.
- All transport-type State aircraft with a certificated take-off mass exceeding 5700 kg or with a cruising true airspeed capability greater than 250 knots have to be EHS and ADS-B Out capable.
- Member States shall communicate and justify to the European Commission a list of State aircraft that cannot be equipped with ELS in due time before 1 July 2016. The equivalent deadline for the communication of a list and justification of State aircraft that cannot be equipped in due time with EHS and ADS-B Out is 1 July 2018. Such justification may be compelling technical reasons, procurement constraints and State aircraft going out of service before 1 January 2020. In case of procurement constraints Member states’ justification shall include the pertinent procurement plans.
- Air traffic service providers shall ensure that non-Mode-S equipped State aircraft are accommodated, provided that they can be safely handled within the capacity of the ATM system.
- Member States have to publish the procedures related to the handling of non-equipped State aircraft in national AIPs.
- On an annual basis air traffic service providers have to communicate to the Member State that has designated them their plans for the handling of non-equipped State aircraft. These plans shall take into account associated capacity limits of the ATM system.

Where Member States plan earlier implementation of the IR, it must be coordinated on a national basis and shall take into account all the other applicable SES IRs.
