“multisensor should be multisensory.



II. BODYSL-4-NAV

Question: A part 135 operator requests initial authorization to fly in the WATRS area directly from Atlanta (ATL) to Bermuda (BDA).Does this require a Class II approval?Answer: Yes. This type of operation is outside the operational service volume (OSV) of Class I NAVAIDs and requires LRN equipment and authorization.

Let’s take a look at the two classes of navigation.

A. CLASSES OF NAVIGATIONSL-5-NAV

3/27/2013

Even though the concept remains the same, Class I/II terms may evolve into other terms. Currently, ICAO does not use these terms – Class I and Class II.

1. Class I The factors for a Class I Operational Service

Volume (OSV) NAVAID include distance from the transmitter, transmitter power, and altitude or flight level. For example, the OSV for Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR) is typically 130 Nautical Miles (NM) and for an Non-directional Beacon (NDB) is typically 75NM. Reception of these NAVAIDs will vary depending on altitude or flight level.

3/27/2013FAA Order 8900.1, Volume 4, Chapter 1, Part 4 (for Class I and II).

OpSpec A002. Definitions and Abbreviations.

AIM Chapter 1 (Air Navigation), Section 1 (Navigation Aids).

2. Class II

We’ve often seen cases where operators were approved to conduct operations to Bermuda without a Class II authorization if the Class II portion of the flight was less than 1 hour. This type of authorization is contrary to the Federal Aviation Regulations and FAA guidance (FAA Order 8900.1).





In addition, there have been cases where an operator has been issued authorization to conduct a Class II operation of short duration using Dead Reckoning (DR) procedures. DR procedures are only allowed as a contingency.

DR does not meet ATC navigation standards.

Reduced separation standards and increased CNS requirements will not tolerate DR procedures as an accurate means of navigation.Examples of where DR procedures have been approved for Class II operations include the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and the WATRS area. This is contrary to FAA guidance and ICAO standards.Another area of oceanic and international operations is the 12-Mile Limit and national borders.

B. 12-MILE LIMIT AND NATIONAL BORDERS




PROMPTS CONTENT NOTESSL-6-NAV

Here are some things to remember about the 12-Mile Limit: 14 CFR Part 91.1 discusses the rules for

specific aircraft operating beyond the 12-Mile Limit

3/27/2013

U.S. territorial waters extend from the shoreline to 12NM off the coast

ICAO oceanic standards apply outside the

12-Mile Limit Each ICAO State determines their own

sovereign airspace and extent of their territorial waters

3/27/201314 CFR part 91.1 Applicability.

Question: Do all countries use the 12-Mile Limit?Answer: No. Each country has its own sovereign airspace that may not be 12 NM.




PROMPTS CONTENT NOTESSL-7-NAV 3/28/2013

Extended Over WaterPart 1 Definition - Operations at a horizontal distance greater than 50 NM from the nearest shoreline14 CFR Part 91.509 – Survival Equipment for flight overwater greater than 30 minutes flying time or 100 NM from the nearest shoreLimited over-water Exemption – 162 NM from the nearest shore (Requires OpsSpecs)

The next few topics of discussion deal with the different types of navigation systems and their respective limitations in oceanic and international operations.





C. GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEMS (GNSS)

SL-8-NAV Satellites are powered by solar panels.

2-D, 3-D or 4-D: indicates level of accuracy.

GNSS equipment is subject to natural and man-made limitations.For example, there are commercially sold GPS jammers. In addition, there may be specific geographic areas that are termed “RAIM holes.” These are areas where there is limited or no GPS reception. Keep in mind that RAIM holes are not stationary.

Operators should consult relevant GPS NOTAMS and web sites to note any GPS anomalies prior to departure.

Review RAIM prediction web site http://www.raimprediction.net/.

The RAIM prediction web site is only used in the 48 contiguous states.







Question: How many satellites are required to have RAIM capability?Answer: Five (5).Question: How many are required for FDE?Answer: Six (6).

3/27/2013GPS Black Holes

A third party vendor running RAIM predictions for the operator should validate it for the aircraft software. The operator is responsible for ensuring RAIM predictions produced by a vendor are the same algorithm as in the FMS.

SL-9-NAV

U.S. GPS constellation: 24 satellites.

Provide update on GPS constellations other than the one maintained by the US

Since the GNSS are evolving, it is important to consult with a Regional NextGen SAO Specialist about the status of the GNSS constellations.

3/27/2013





It has been discussed at some FAA and ICAO meetings that the use of GPS effectively means the operator is always within the OSV and therefore can conduct Class I navigation worldwide. This is a controversial issue that has not been resolved.

D. INERTIAL SYSTEMSSL-10-NAV

Inertial platforms are either gimbaled gyros or ring laser. The gimbaled gyros are mechanically stabilized sensors that measure motion by using accelerometers. Ring laser systems measure reflective light within a chamber to sense motion.The inertial platform is a running Dead Reckoning (DR) device and not a position-fixing navigation system.





All unaided inertial platforms have a specified time limit at any given RNP level. The time between position updates must be reviewed when an operator requests an RNP approval.For example, the Baseline for RNP-10 is 6.2 hours and some inertial units have been certified to 10 to 12 hours before updates are required.An RNP-10 time limit of 3 hours will not get an operator to Hawaii.

Keep in mind, the time limit may or may not meet the requirements of the SAO (e.g., Polar operations).The three types of inertial navigation systems are: Inertial Navigation System (INS): A basic

inertial capability that continuously calculates the position, orientation, and velocity of a moving object without the need for external references

Inertial Reference System (IRS): Provides the inertial navigation data and the inertial flight control data to other systems

Inertial Reference Unit (IRU): Uses only ring laser gyroscopes to determine a moving aircraft’s or spacecraft’s change in angular direction over a period of time





E. MULTISENSORY SYSTEMSL-11-NAV

A multisensory system requires a Flight Management System (FMS) or a Flight Management Computer (FMC), which functions as a processor and display unit.FMC/FMS is not, by itself, a navigation system.For example, if there are 2 GNSS and 2 inertial sensors present and all are going through a single FMS or FMC, the operator may only have single LRNS capability.

Dual independent LRNS is the requirement for unrestricted oceanic operations.

ASIs should be aware that when evaluating the number of FMSs/FMCs onboard there is a requirement to have dual LRNSs when conducting remote oceanic operations.

F. LIMITATIONS OF NAVIGATION STSTEMS SYSTEMS

SL-12-NAV

1. GNSS Limitations

It’s important for the operator to have a Predictive Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) Program when GNSS is the sole means of navigation.

For example, this tool may reveal an anomaly such as a RAIM hole. In addition, there is a requirement for Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) capability for operators conducting remote oceanic operations without inertial capability.

RAIM hole - Unexplained areas when signal degradation occurs.





2. Inertial Systems LimitationsSL-13-NAV

One limitation unique to inertial systems is platform alignment at a high-latitude airport. For example, an aircraft at Yellowknife airport in Canada may exceed the normal alignment time based on the aircraft’s position.Magnetic field issues contribute to extended alignment periods at high-latitude airports.

Other examples of high-latitude airports – Longyearbyen, Norway or Thule, Greenland.

Environmental effects on alignment: Cold weather High winds Aircraft loading and unloading cargo

Inertial systems take about 10 to 15 minutes (up to 30 minutes in older systems) on most airports.





3. Multisensory System LimitationsSL-14-NAV

Certain functions of the FMS/FMC may be inoperative and deferred in accordance with the approved MEL. Inspectors should scrutinize the operator’s MEL, navigation equipment Air Transport Association (ATA) Chapter 34, to ensure routing restrictions for inoperative navigation equipment comply with the SAO requirements.
