140D8121R0005 Amendment 0002 Content

Initial section B7.6.7 is removed. The following is incorporated in it’s place.

B7.6.7 The aircraft must be equipped with an FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO)-approved traffic awareness and avoidance system (TCAS/TAS/TCAD/etc.) featuring active interrogation of threat aircraft.

The system must be equipped with antennas mounted on both the top and bottom of the aircraft to minimize airframe shadowing and provide 360-degree coverage. The system must also incorporate visual alerts for both pilot and co-pilot and an aural alerting feature which announces an alert of threat aircraft whenever such aircraft enter a zone of a programmable size with range selections from no more than two nautical miles to at least ten nautical miles around the aircraft. The audio alert output must be interconnected to the aircraft's audio system in such a manner that all ICS-equipped positions will receive the alert. If the aircraft is equipped with a Multi-Function Display (MFD), GPS, or other system capable of displaying threat aircraft output data, the system must be also be interfaced to such.

B7.6.7.1 The system must be installed in accordance with an STC or FAA Field Approval based upon an existing STC and the manufacturers installation manual. Installation of the system must be accomplished by a certified avionics repair station which has been approved for such by the system’s manufacturer.

The system must be maintained for continued airworthiness, but may be listed in an approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL), provided the MEL does not permit the system to be inoperable for a period exceeding 15 days.

B7.6.7.2 While the following systems are known to meet the above requirements, other suitable systems may also be available:

TCAS: Any TSO’d system which provides a range selection of 2 nautical miles or less.

TAS: Bendix-King KTA 870, Goodrich Skywatch HP

TCAD: Avidyne TAS600/610/620 (formerly Ryan International TCAD 9900BX) only when a separate, approved Multi-Function Display (MFD) is used to display threat aircraft data.
