1 Introduction
1.1 Article 205 (5) of the Air Navigation Order permits the UK CAA to include a condition on an article 205 approval requiring that the equipment be flight checked by an approved person.
1.2 The purpose of this document is to ensure that a system, when flight inspected, is operating within defined limits.
2 Scope
This document defines the:
.
Flight inspection interval;
.
Limits to be applied to all parameters measured; and
.
Types of inspection.
3 Safety Objective
The equipment shall provide a complete, identified, accurate and uncorrupted source of guidance information to aircraft.
4 Flight Inspection Interval
4.1 For ILS facilities, the prescribed interval between successive inspections is 180 days (2147).
5 Tolerances
5.1 A tolerance of +20 days is applicable to the prescribed intervals. Operators shall strive to ensure that flight inspection takes place as closely as possible to the prescribed intervals. If the previous inspection lasted more than one day, the interval shall be calculated from the date when the inspection started (1254).
5.2 Flight inspections may be made up to 7 days earlier than the due date without affecting the due date for the next inspection (1257). If an inspection is made more than 7 days before the due date, the date of subsequent inspections shall be advanced (1258).
6 Delays due to Adverse Weather
6.1 Occasionally, prolonged periods of adverse weather may prevent an inspection being completed within the permitted tolerance. If this occurs, the system may continue in operation for a further 25 days provided that a reduced flight inspection has been made within the permitted tolerance interval (1264).
6.1.1 Reduced inspection requirements:
Localiser: part orbit ± 35° at approximately 6 nautical miles for both transmitters (1265).
Glidepath: Level slice starting at the edge of the DOC, at the height normally used for such a flight on the facility, for both transmitters (1266).
