AMC1 SPO.IDE.A.132 Airborne weather detecting equipment

Q: What alternative equipment is acceptable for propeller-driven pressurised aeroplanes under 5 700 kg MCTOM and nine seats or less, according to AMC1 SPO.IDE.A.132?

Other equipment capable of detecting thunderstorms and other potentially hazardous weather conditions, regarded as detectable with airborne weather radar equipment, are also acceptable.

Q: What weather phenomena must the alternative equipment to airborne weather radar be able to detect for small propeller-driven pressurised aeroplanes?

It must be capable of detecting thunderstorms and other potentially hazardous weather conditions regarded as detectable with airborne weather radar equipment.

AMC1 SPO.IDE.A.132 Airborne weather detecting equipment – complex motor-powered aeroplanes

ED Decision 2014/018/R

GENERAL

The airborne weather detecting equipment should be an airborne weather radar. However, for propeller-driven pressurised aeroplanes with an MCTOM not more than 5 700 kg and an maximum certified seating configuration of not more than nine, other equipment capable of detecting thunderstorms and other potentially hazardous weather conditions, regarded as detectable with airborne weather radar equipment, are also acceptable.
