IFR Part 19 Flashcards
When may a pilot carry out an instrument approach using GPS under Part 19?
A pilot-in-command shall not carry out an instrument approach procedure under IFR using a GPS receiver unless they have had certified in their pilot’s logbook by a flight examiner that they have satisfactorily demonstrated competency in the use of that make and model of GPS receiver, including any flight management system used for a GPS instrument approach
When can GPS be used as a primary means of navigation uder Part 19?
(i)
the GPS equipment is approved to Level 1 on form CAA 2129; and
(ii)
the aircraft’s form CAA 2129 has been endorsed, approving the GPS equipment for use on the intended IFR operation as a primary means navigation system; and (2)
operate the GPS equipment in accordance with the aircraft flight manual or aircraft flight manual supplement; and
(3)
ensure, if the aircraft is operating within the New Zealand flight information region, that the aircraft is equipped—
(i)
for air transport operations, with at least 2 operable sole means navigation systems other than GPS receivers. The sole means navigation systems must be appropriate for the route being flown; and
(ii)
for operations other than air transport operations, with at least 1 operable sole means navigation system other than GPS receiver. The sole means navigation system must be appropriate for the route being flown; and
(4)
if intending to use a GPS based instrument approach procedure, obtain a RAIM prediction prior to departure for the expected time of arrival at the destination—
(i)
using the onboard GPS receiver; or
(ii)
from the holder of an air traffic service organisation certificate issued under Part 172; and(5)
ensure that en-route and terminal navigation is conducted—
(i)
using a GPS database containing data that is current with respect to the current en-route and area charts applicable to the route being flown; and
(ii)
by cross checking each GPS database selected track and distance between reporting points, for accuracy and reasonableness by reference to current en-route and area charts; and (7)
if, when operating in the en-route phase, a RAIM warning has been displayed for more than ten minutes, or the GPS equipment has operated in the DR mode for more than one minute—
(i)
advise the appropriate controlling ATC service; and
(ii)
verify the aircraft position every 10 minutes using another IFR-approved navigation system; and
(8)
not commence an instrument approach while a RAIM warning is displayed; and
(9)
if an alternate aerodrome is required by 91.405, ensure that
(i)
the alternate is served by a fully operational radio navigation aid with a promulgated instrument approach procedure based on other than GPS navigation; and
(ii)
the aircraft is equipped with navigation equipment capable of using that radio navigation aid.
When can an aircraft operate GPS as a sole means of navigation within the NZ FIR under Part 19?
A person shall not operate an aircraft under IFR using a sole means navigation system, which uses only GPS sensors, within the New Zealand Flight Information Region.
If using GPS as sole means of navigation within the NZ AOFIR (Auckland oceanic FIR) what is the rule governing a RAIM warning under Part 19?
if a RAIM warning has been displayed for more than ten minutes, or the GPS equipment has operated in the DR mode for more than one minute advise the appropriate controlling ATC service.
What are the requirements of a GPS receiver used for navigation under IFR under Part 19?
(a)
No person shall operate an aircraft using a GPS receiver that does not comply with the requirements of paragraph 19.207(1) (Primary means GPS) or 19.209(1) (Sole means GPS) for navigation under IFR.
(b)
When operating under IFR, a person may only use a GPS receiver that does not comply with the requirements of paragraph 19.207(1) or 19.209(1) for providing supplementary information
What are the conditions of using GPS derived distance information under Part 19?
(a)
A pilot-in-command of an aircraft operating under IFR using GPS equipment must not use GPS derived distance information if RAIM is unavailable and has been unavailable for the preceding 10 minutes.
(b)
The pilot-in-command must, when using GPS derived distance information in a position report, state the distance as a GPS distance relative to a specified reference point that is contained in the GPS database.
When may an aircraft under IFR use GPS to fly on unevaluated routes under Part 19?
(a)
Subject to paragraph (b), a pilot-in-command of an aircraft operating within the New Zealand flight information region under IFR using GPS equipment as a primary means navigation system is permitted random flight routing if operating
(1)
within the area of a circle 20 nm radius centred on 43O36’S 170O 09’E (Mount Cook), at or above flight level 160; or
(2)
in any other airspace, at or above flight level 150.
(b)
A pilot-in-command of an aircraft is only permitted random flight routing within controlled airspace if authorised by ATC.
What letter must be used when filing an IFR flight plan when using GPS as a primary or sole means of navigation under Part 19?
(a)
A pilot-in-command shall only operate an aircraft under IFR using GPS equipment as a primary means navigation system or sole means navigation system if the letter “G” is inserted in the block item 10 on the ICAO flight plan form (MOT/AC 1565).
