(O) May be inoperative provided:

(a)       Affected flight director is not part of the equipment required for intended operation, and

(b)       Associated autopilot, if affected, is considered inoperative (Refer to 22-10-1).

-

0

(O) One or more may be inoperative for the intended flight route where  conventional (non-RNAV/RNP) navigation is sufficient, provided 

(a)    Current aeronautical information (e.g. charts) is available for the entire route and for the aerodromes to be used, and

(b)    Navigation database information is disregarded, and

(c)     Radio navigation aids, which are required to be flown for departure, arrival and approach procedures are manually tuned and identified.

Procedures

(O) To give guidance reference to established operator’s procedure to ensure the dispatch conditions requirements are met prior to release of the aircraft.

(O) Any in excess of one may be inoperative provided:

(a)         The operative database must be up to date for routes, departures, arrival and approach procedures that require the use of navigation Database for RNAV/RNP, and

(b)         The operative database is available and used by the flight crew member(s) responsible for navigation, and

(c)         Radio navigation aids, which are required to be flown for departure, arrival and approach procedures are manually tuned and identified.

Procedures

(O) To give guidance reference to established operator’s procedure to ensure dispatch conditions requirements are met prior to release of the aircraft.

(O) One or more may be out of date for a maximum of 10 calendar days provided:

(a)    Area Navigation (RNAV/RNP) departure, arrival and approach procedures are checked not to depend on the data amended in the current database cycle or Conventional (Non-RNAV/RNP) or ANSP assistance are used as an alternative to RNAV/RNP procedures which have been amended in the current database cycle,

(b)    Before each flight, current aeronautical information is used to verify the database Navigation Fixes, the coordinates, frequencies, status (as applicable) and suitability of Navigation Facilities required for the intended flight route, and

(c)     Radio navigation aids, which are required to be flown for departure, arrival and approach procedures and which have been amended in the current database cycle, are manually tuned and identified.

Procedures

(O) To give guidance reference to established operator’s procedure to ensure the dispatch conditions requirements are met prior to release of the aircraft.
