New Mode S Transition Arrangements for State Aircraft |
|
|
|
In July 2004 the regulatory authorities of the Mode S implementing States agreed to extend the transition arrangements for Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance compliance by State aircraft. During the revised transition period, a coordinated exemption policy will be applied for State Aircraft conditional on the adoption of specific measures supporting the monitoring of the Mode S compliance status of State Aircraft.
The harmonised transition arrangements and States' involvement in the supporting process and procedures were agreed at CMIC/21.
The full set of civil and military Mode S transition arrangements are agreed by the Provisional Council under silent procedure (10 Jan 05).

|
|
|
Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) |
The carriage and operation of Mode S Enhanced Surveillance functionality applies to "transport type" State aircraft with a maximum take-off mass in excess of 5700 kg or a maximum true cruising airspeed in excess of 250 kts and a "full" DAP capability, conducting IFR flights as GAT in Mode S Enhanced designated airspace for more than 30 hours per annum per airframe.
The final date for compliance for the carriage and operation of Mode S Enhanced Surveillance airborne equipment is 31 March 2009.
|
|
|
A number of supporting measures were agreed allowing the regulatory authorities of the implementing States to monitor the Mode S compliance status and exemptions granted to State Aircraft Operators.
Operators of State Aircraft of EUROCONTROL Member States will be requested through the Civil-Military Standing Interface Committee (CMIC) to submit Mode S airborne equipage plans for ELS and EHS.
