SSR Failure In Flight
In flight: Recycle or switch to Alternative.
Interfacing agencies may not accept.
Endeavour to continue, If approved to continue, Mil Sup to be informed and CA4114. If also TCAS u/s, treat as an emergency.
AC to inform TC of any none transponder a/c
SSR failure prior to departure
Not approved. If unable to be fixed at current a/d, file as direct as possible to the nearest suitable a/d. TC OS to approve, taking traffic into account.
TCAS U/S
May operate for 10 days with U/S TCAS. If fails while a/b, notify adjacent ATSU. If TCAS is u/s and SSR fails, treat as emergency. Shall not depart with both u/s.
Nav light failure at night
If light required by the ANO:
Can not depart.
If already a/b, may continue if approved by ATC. Normally only when wholly within UK CAS.
If OCAS, land at nearest suitable a/d - which may be the original destination.
Mode S Identity
Direct recognition of the Aircraft Identification Feature on the situation display may be used to establish identification - subject to either:
1) Correlation of the AIF with the A/C entered on the flight plan displayed to the controller or on the FPS, or
2) Correlation of the AIF with a callsign directed in RT to the controller. Exercise caution of similar callsign, and if in any doubt use an alternative method.
1 hPa =
27ft at Mean Sea Level. Aprox 30ft in calcs.
