Could the use of 250 kt and 5700 kg MTOM as discriminants for carriage requirements be clarified?
Aircraft with a maximum cruising true airspeed that does not exceed 250 kt and with a maximum take-off mass at or below 5700 kg are not subject to the Enhanced Surveillance Mode S airborne equipment requirements. Those discriminants have been chosen to match the criteria already used by ICAO and the ACAS implementation programme. Mode S equipped aircraft with a maximum cruising TAS in excess of 250 kt must also have antenna diversity according to ICAO Annex 10. Aircraft with a MTOM greater than 5700 kg, or, having more than 19 passenger seats are also required to carry and operate ACAS equipment (transition arrangements apply until 30 March 2006).
