NAV 02 Engineering Requirements for MF Non-Directional Beacons
Part 1 Preliminary Material
1 Introduction
Under the terms of Article 205 of the Air Navigation Order all Civil MF Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) installations, intended for use in the provision of an Air Traffic Service, require approval by the CAA.
2 Scope
2.1 This document sets out the Engineering requirements for MF Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs) intended for use in the provision of an Air Traffic Service. This document applies to all NDBs including those associated with published Instrument Approach Procedures, also known as Locators, promulgated as NDB(L).
Part 2 Requirements
3 Safety Objective
The system shall radiate a signal which complies with the standard operating parameters and provides correct guidance to users within its rated coverage.
4 System Requirements
4.1 SARPs Compliance
In addition to the requirements below, NDB systems shall comply with the Standards and Recommended practices (SARPs) in ICAO annex 10 Volume 1, Chapter 2, General Provisions for Radio Navigation Aids (2038) and Chapter 3 Section 3.4, Specification for non-directional radio beacon (NDB) (2040).
NOTE: Where the UK has differences filed to SARPs these will be published in Supplements to the Annexes and in the UK AIP.
4.2 Transmission Characteristics
4.2.1 Radiated Frequency
The equipment shall only transmit on the frequency assigned by the CAA and as appears in the schedule to the radio licence issued under the Wireless Telegraphy Act. (2041). The assigned frequency shall be maintained within ±0.01% (2042).
4.2.2 Power Output
The power output shall be adjusted to give a vertical field strength of 70 microvolts/ metre at the limit of the rated coverage (2043), and be maintained within tolerances of +2 dB (2044) and .3 dB (2045).
4.3 Modulation Characteristics
4.3.1 Identification
Modulation is by on/off keying of an amplitude modulating tone (2046). Each NDB shall be individually identified by a two or three letter international Morse code group as assigned (2047) and transmitted at a rate corresponding to approximately 7 words per minute (2048). The complete identification shall be transmitted at least 3 times in each 30 second period, equally spaced within that period (2049).
