1. GENERAL
1.1 As mentioned in the paragraph 1.2 of this order, the following criteria outline the decisions
needed in assessing a modification or repair as major or minor. For each issue, it must be
determined whether or not the proposed change will have other than a negligible effect. The
questions require "yes" or "no" responses. An affirmative answer (yes) to any individual
question indicates that the modification or repair should be classified as "major", on the other
hand a negative answer (no) to any individual question indicates that the modification or repair
should be classified as "minor ". The examples and tests listed are for illustration only and not
intended to be all encompassing.

5 ACAS TRANSPONDER GROUND TESTING COSI DERATION
6 RELATED AIRWORTHINESS
1. GENERAL
1.1 Aircraft are required to be equipped with, and operate, Mode S transponder equipment in
certain segments of airspace within the USA, European Airspace and Indian Airspace.
ICAO has also notified (Annex 6, Part I) that in future specific performance classes of
aeroplanes are required to be equipped with ACAS II and shall operate in accordance with
relevant provisions of Annex 10. Therefore, prior to operating in the designated airspace,
where aeroplanes are required to be equipped with Mode S transponder, the aircraft must
have a unique address code assigned by the aircraft's State of Registry.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 For the purpose of this Order, the definitions as mentioned under the Rule 2 and 183 of the
Civil Aviation Rules, 1984 shall apply. Where a particular definition under the rule, the
under mentioned definitions shall apply:
(b) "ACAS I" means an Airborne Collision Avoidance System which provide
information as an aid to "see and avoid" action but does not include the capability
for" generating resolution advisories (RAs).
(c) "ACAS II" means an Airborne Collision Avoidance System that utilizes
interrogations of, and replies from airborne radar beacon transponders and provides
traffic advisories and resolution advisories in the vertical plane.
(d) "ACAS III" means an Airborne Collision Avoidance System, which provides
vertical and horizontal resolution advisories (RAs) in addition to traffic advisories
(TAs)
(e) "Aircraft Address" means a unique combination of twenty-four bits available for
Assignment to an aircraft for the purpose of air-ground communications, navigation
and surveillance.
(j) "Mode S" transponder equipment means a transponder, which meets the
requirements of FAA TSO-C88 or equivalent standard acceptable to the Chairman
and be capable replying to:
(l) "Traffic advisory (TA)" means an indication given to the flight crew that a certain
intruder is a potential threat.
Note: (1) Mode A/C transponders are suppressed by Mode S interrogations and do not
reply.
(2) The SSR Mode S address consisting of twenty-four bit aircraft address
allocated by ICAO to the State of Registry and assigned as prescribed in the
Chapter 9, Part I, Volume III, Annex-10.
3.1 In accordance with the fundamental concept of SSR Mode S operations, each Bangladesh
registered aircraft required to operate in the transponder Mode S-mandatory airspace, is
assigned a unique 24 bit SSR Mode S address codes by the Chairman.
3.2 Aircraft addresses are assigned in accordance with the following principles-
(a) at the one time, no address shall be assigned to more than one aircraft;
(b) only one address shall be assigned to an aircraft, irrespective of the number of
transponders on board;
(c) the address shall be not changed, except under an exceptional circumstance, and
shall not be changed in flight;
(d) when an aircraft changes State of Registry, the previously assigned address shall
be relinquished and a new address shall be assigned by the new State of Registry or
registering authority;
(e) the address serves only a technical role for addressing and identification of
aircraft and shall not be used to convey any specific information such; and
(0) the address composed of 24(twenty four) ZEROS and 24(twenty four) ONEs shall
not be assigned to aircraft;
3.3 Under Annex 10 Volume 1, ICAO allocates blocks of SSR Mode S addresses to each State
of Registry. The first 12 bits of the address as allocated by the ICAO comprise the
national identification code. For Bangladesh, the state code is be 0111 00 000 010.
3.4 The remaining (second) 12 bits provide the individual aircraft address codes, which for each
Bangladesh registered aircraft, comprise the binary form of the aircraft identification
number assigned from CAAB data base or record maintained by the Airworthiness and
Engineering Licencing Division. On application, the CAAB will allocate the remaining
(second) 12 bits on the basis of binary value, which matches the order of assignment in
ascending sequential order. Example of a complete address of the first aircraft allocated
mode S code (registered as S2- ACO) is 0111 00 000 010 00 00 0000 0001. Similarly the
mode S code allocated for the next aircraft (registered as S2- ACP) is 0111 00 000 010 00
00 0000 0010.
4.1 An application for allocation of a Mode S transponder code to a civil aircraft registered in
Bangladesh shall be submitted to the Chairman by the Owner/Operator through letter.
The following aircraft information must be supplied by the applicant-
(a) make;
(b) model;
(c) Serial number; and
(d) for an aircraft already on the Bangladesh Register of Aircraft, the aircraft
registration marks.
4.2.1 Aircraft that are not currently registered in Bangladesh, but intended to be registered in
future in Bangladesh, cannot be allocated a Mode S code. Owner/Operator of such
aircraft must forward their application to the appropriate authority in the aircraft's State of
Registry.
5.2 This, therefore, presents the possibility that a ground operated transponder may trigger a
nuisance advisory on an ACAS equipped aircraft operating in the close vicinity. If the
ground target is providing altitude data the ACAS logic should declare the aircraft to be
on the ground and ought not to generate an advisory. If no altitude data is provided the
ACAS will generate a TA if the threat criteria are met. If the ground is providing altitude
data other than surface altitude, as may happen with a defective altitude encoder, or if a
test pressure is being applied to the altitude encoder, the ACAS may generate both a TA
and RA if the threat criteria met.
5.3 It is considered that nuisance advisories may be cause to any ACAS equipped aircraft flying
in the vicinity of transponders, which are being tested, this may also include aircraft
passing overhead at medium altitudes. The problem may be more noticeable where ground
testing of transponders takes place at airfields located beneath Terminal Control Areas or
in the vicinity of Control Areas and Zones where are traffic movements are likely to be
numerous.
5.4 Maintenance organization and personnel who are involved in the ground testing of
transponders and ACAS equipment are required to follow specific procedures given by the
manufacturer of the equipment and take precautions to ensure that the risks of causing
nuisance advisories are recognized and kept to a minimum.
5.5 Where no specific procedures are given by the manufacturer of the equipment, the
following procedures be followed by the maintenance personnel to minimize the
possibility of causing nuisance advisories to ACAS equipped aircraft when ground testing
transponders and/or ACAS:
(a) when not required ensure that transponders are selected to 'OFF' or 'Standby'.
(b) for transponders under test, when equipped for altitude reporting, set the control
to 'Mode A/C and select Altitude Reporting 'ON’.
(c) where possible, carry out testing inside a hangar to take advantage of any
shielding properties it may provide.
(d) always use the antenna transmission absorption covers when these are provided
with the test set.
(e) when testing Mode C operation that requires the altitude to be increased, radiate
directly into the ramp test via the prescribed attenuator.
(f) in between test parameters, select the transponder to the standby mode.
(g) the simulation of ACAS operation by the radiation from an antenna located on, or
remotely based from a workshop, is not permitted.
6.1 The operators' attention is also drawn to the ANO (airworthiness) E.6 on aircraft
equipment, system and instruments regarding the requirements of installation of an ACAS
II (minimum performance level) on aircraft registered in Bangladesh.
This order is issued in pursuance of the Rules 4, 89 and 107 of the Civil Aviation Rules,
1984.
