PERFORMANCE-BASED COMMUNICATION AND SURVEILLANCE (PBCS) OPERATIONS
For operations in airspaces where required communication performance (RCP) and required surveillance performance (RSP) for PBCS have been prescribed, the operator should:
(a) ensure
that the communication equipment and surveillance equipment meet the
prescribed RCP and RSP specifications respectively, as shown by an AFM
statement or equivalent.
(b) ensure
that operational constraints are reflected in the MEL;
(c) establish
and include in the OM:
(1) normal,
abnormal and contingency procedures;
(2) the
flight crew qualification and proficiency constraints; and
(3) a
training programme for relevant personnel consistent with the intended
operations;
(d) ensure
continued airworthiness of the communication equipment and surveillance
equipment in accordance with the appropriate RCP and RSP specifications
respectively;
(e) ensure
that the contracted communication service provider (CSP) for the airspace
being flown complies with the required RCP and RSP specifications as well as
with monitoring, recording and notification requirements; and
(f) participate
to monitoring programmes established in the airspace being flown in order to:
(1) submit
the relevant reports of observed communication and surveillance performance
respectively; and
(2) establish
a process for immediate corrective action in case non-compliance with the
appropriate RCP or RSP specifications is detected.
For Performance-Based Communication and Surveillance (PBCS) operations, operators must ensure communication and surveillance equipment meet required performance specifications. This includes equipment airworthiness, operational procedures, crew training, and using compliant communication service providers. Operators must also participate in monitoring programs, reporting performance and addressing non-compliance issues promptly.
