system — Aeroplanes
DETERMINING WHETHER A FLIGHT NEEDS TO BE TRACKED
Table 1 provides a summary of the cases applicable to an aeroplane which is within the scope of CAT.GEN.MPA.205(a).
Table 1:
Cases applicable to the flight of an aeroplane subject to the aircraft
tracking requirement
|
Condition 1: The planned route and the planned diversion routes are included in airspace blocks where ATS surveillance service is normally provided. |
Condition 2: The ATS surveillance service provided in all airspace blocks determined by Condition 1 is supported by ATC surveillance systems locating the aircraft at time intervals with adequate duration. |
Condition 3: The operator has provided all air navigation service providers competent for the airspace blocks determined by Condition 1 with the necessary contact information. |
Case considered: Aeroplane that is within the scope of CAT.GEN.MPA.205(a). |
|
Conditions 1, 2 and 3 are met altogether. |
The flight does not need to be tracked (refer to CAT.GEN.MPA.205(b)). Note: The operator should check at regular time intervals that Conditions 1, 2 and 3 are still met (refer to AMC2 CAT.GEN.MPA.205). |
||
|
Either Condition 1, Condition 2 or Condition 3 is not met. |
The flight shall be tracked (refer to CAT.GEN.MPA.205(b)). Note: Lack of aircraft tracking data due to a temporary or unexpected issue may be acceptable (refer to AMC1 CAT.GEN.MPA.205). Examples of issues (list is indicative and not exhaustive): airborne equipment found inoperative, transmission link disturbed by environmental factors; issue with the ground-based infrastructure or the space-based infrastructure. |

EASA aviation regulations require aeroplane flight tracking unless specific conditions are met. If the planned route has continuous ATC surveillance, supported by adequate systems and contact information is provided to air navigation service providers, tracking is unnecessary. Otherwise, aircraft tracking is mandatory, although temporary data loss may be acceptable.
