EASA Proposes Change To TAWS Rule

AEA Will Be Offering Comments, Discuss Changes At Cologne, Germany Meeting

The European Aviation Safety Agency has published a Notice of Proposed Amendment, developed to address a safety issue related to terrain awareness warning systems. The objective of this task is to mitigate the risks of accidents categorised as a controlled flight into terrain for turbine-powered airplanes having a maximum certified take-off mass below 5,700 kg or a maximum operational passenger seating configuration between six and nine.

Changes to Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 include:
 
CAT.IDE.A.150 Terrain awareness warning system (TAWS)
(c) Turbine-powered aeroplanes for which the individual CofA was first issued after 1 January 2019, having an MCTOM of 5,700 kg or less and an MOPSC of six to nine, shall be equipped with a TAWS that meets the requirements for Class B equipment, as specified in an acceptable standard.
 
SPO.IDE.A.130 Terrain awareness warning system (TAWS)
(b) When used in commercial operations, turbine-powered aeroplanes for which the individual CofA was first issued after 1 January 2019, with an MCTOM of 5,700 kg or less and an MOPSC of six to nine, shall be equipped with a TAWS that meets the requirements for Class B equipment, as specified in an acceptable standard.

The deadline for comments is 18 March 2016. This NPA will be a topic of discussion at the AEA Europe Connect conference in Cologne, Germany, 26-27 January.
