7.1General


Note: Part 7 has been written so that approvals to AOC holder are done through operations specifications and approvals to non-AOC holders, such as general aviation, are done through letters of authorisation.

7.1.1.1Applicability


Part 7 prescribes the minimum instrument and equipment requirements for all aircraft in all operations.

Part 7 requirements use the following key designators—



      1. AAC: all aircraft — non-AOC Holders and AOC Holders appropriate to the subject of the regulations, e.g., an all aircraft regulation may only refer to seaplanes, but will include seaplanes operated by non-AOC Holders and AOC seaplanes.

      2. AOC: AOC Holders are operators engaged in commercial air transport. Where AOC requirements are more detailed, the AOC requirements will be followed.

7.1.1.4General Instrument and Equipment Requirements


[AAC] In addition to the minimum equipment necessary for the issuance of a certificate of airworthiness, the instruments, equipment and flight documents prescribed in Part 7 shall be installed or carried, as appropriate, in aircraft according to the aircraft used and to the circumstances under which the flight is to be conducted.

[AAC] All required instruments and equipment shall be approved and installed in accordance with applicable airworthiness requirements.

[AAC] Prior to operation in [STATE] of any aircraft not registered in [STATE] that uses an airworthiness inspection programme approved or accepted by the State of Registry, the owner/operator shall ensure that instruments and equipment required by [STATE] but not installed in the aircraft are properly installed and inspected in accordance with the requirements of the State of Registry.

[AOC] No person shall commence a flight in commercial air transport operations unless the required equipment—


      1. Meets the minimum performance standard, all operational and airworthiness requirements and the relevant provisions of ICAO Annex 10, Volume IV.

      2. Is installed such that the failure of any single unit required for either communication or navigation purposes, or both, will not result in the inability to communicate and/or navigate safely on the route being flown.

      3. Is in operable condition for the kind of operation being conducted, except as provided in the MEL.

[AAC] If equipment is to be used by one flight crewmember at his or her station during flight, it shall be installed so as to be readily operable from that flight crewmember’s station.

[AAC] When a single item of equipment is required to be operated by more than one flight crewmember, it shall be installed so that the equipment is readily operable from any station at which the equipment is required to be operated.
