3.0 Operator Certification
EFF 27 OCT 05
CHANGE: New Special Notice
Geomatics Canada
Holders of air operator certificates issued under CARs Part VII, or Private Operator Certificates issued
under CARs Subpart 604 are required to be authorized by an operations specification to conduct
GPS-based (including WAAS) instrument approach operations in IMC. This is explained in Commercial
and Business Aviation Advisory Circular (CBAAC) 0123R, dated 25 March 2004.
4.0 Alternate Aerodrome Requirements
Pilots can take credit for a GNSS-based approach at an alternate aerodrome when all of the
following conditions are met:
(a) An approach completely independent of GNSS at the planned destination is expected to be
available at the ETA.
(b) The published LNAV minima are the lowest landing limits for which credit may be taken when
determining alternate aerodrome weather minima requirements. No credit may be taken for
LNAV/VNAV or LPV minima;
(c) The pilot-in-command verifies that LNAV approach-level RAIM or WAAS integrity is expected
to be available at the planned alternate ETA, taking into account predicted satellite outages; and
(d) For GPS TSO C129/C129a avionics, periodically during the flight, and at least once before the
mid-point of the flight to the destination, the pilot-in-command verifies that approach-level RAIM is
expected to be available at the planned alternate ETA.
Additional guidance on flight planning of GPS-based approaches at alternate aerodromes is contained
in the TC AIM COM 3.16.12
5.0 Use of GNSS in Lieu of Ground-based Aids
GNSS may be used to identify all fixes defined by DME, VOR, VOR/DME and NDB, including fixes that are
part of any instrument approach procedures, to navigate to and from these fixes along specific tracks,
including arcs, and to report distances along airways or tracks for separation purposes, subject to the
following conditions:
(a) An integrity alert is not displayed;
SPECIAL NOTICE
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Operations Using GNSS (GPS and WAAS)
(b) Fixes that are part of a terminal instrument procedure are named, charted and retrieved from a
current navigation database;
(c) Where ATS requests a position based on a distance from a DME facility for separation purposes,
reported GNSS distance from the same DME facility may be used stating the distance in "miles"
and the DME facility name (e.g. "30 miles from Sumspot VOR" instead of
"30 DME from Sumspot VOR"); and,
(d) For approaches that are not part of the GPS overlay program described in 1.4, the
pilot-in-command shall monitor the underlying NAVAID for approach and missed approach
track guidance.
