The report should include the following information:
Except for designated airspace where RVSM transition tasks are carried out, only RVSM approved aircraft and non-RVSM approved State aircraft shall be permitted to operate within the EUR RVSM airspace.
RVSM approved aircraft are those aircraft for which the Operator has obtained an RVSM approval, either from the State in which the operator is based, or from the State in which the aircraft is registered.
Guidance material on the airworthiness, continued airworthiness and the operational practices and procedures for the EUR RVSM airspace is provided in the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) Temporary Guidance Leaflet (TGL) No. 6, Revision 1 and the ICAO EUR Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030/5 ).
Except for State aircraft, RVSM approval is required for aircraft to operate in the RVSM airspace within Budapest FIR as described in ENR 2.1.
Note:
The provisions applicable to non-RVSM approved civil operations in EUR RVSM airspace where RVSM transition tasks are carried out are specified in the ICAO Regional Supplementary Procedures (Doc 7030/5 – EUR Chapter 1). paragraph 9.1.4.
All civil fixed-wing turbine-powered aircraft operating within airspace of Hungary shall be equipped with Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) II type:
Flying with an inoperative TCAS II within airspace of Hungary is permitted, including the RVSM airspace, provided it is done in accordance with the applicable JAR-OPS 1 TCAS II Minimum Equipment List (MEL).
The exemption from this requirement applies to aeroplanes which are subject to the provisions of Annex II to the EC Regulation (EC) No. 216/2008.
The following Mode S DAPs are used in Budapest FIR:
These aircraft parameters are downlinked from aircraft by the Mode S EHS (Enhanced Surveillance) compliant transponder. Aircraft that are equipped with Mode S ELS (Elementary Surveillance) transponder only, cannot downlink these values.
Having seen the current Indicated Air Speed, Mach Number and Magnetic Heading in the label, the Air Traffic Controller generally will use these displayed values of a Mode S EHS equipped aircraft, without verbally asking.
Note 1: in certain circumstances, it may be necessary to verbally verify any of these DAPs against reading from the flight deck.
Note 2: the DRC (Downlinked Rate of Climb/Descend value is also provided by EHS compliant aircraft, but the Air Traffic Controller will not use it, due to the fluctuation of the DRC value. However the DRC value is also displayed on the screen, to give information about the tendency, and the order of magnitude of the vertical speed.
The carriage of a Mode S transponder capable of downlinking EHS aircraft parameters will not be compulsory in the Budapest FIR. However, where aircraft is so equipped, the installation and wiring of the instruments and transponder shall guarantee the downlinking of correct values in accordance with certification guidance contained in EASA Document AMC 20-13, or other equivalent airworthiness specifications.
