Operating SkyEcho outside of approved airspace, the transmit function must be disabled. SkyEcho can be used as a receiver in all locations. 6 Australia Use In Australia, EC devices are intended for voluntary fitment on registered and non-registered aircraft conducting VFR operations. They are not permitted for IFR operations. The fitment is not a substitute for mandatory carriage of a transponder nor mandatory ADS-B in relevant airspace. In addition, they must not be allowed to transmit when (a) in VFR flight at or above FL290; or (b) concurrently with a Mode S transponder that is also transmitting ADSB. An EC device may be operated in Australia concurrently with a Mode A/C, or a Mode S transponder (other than one that is transmitting ADS-B). UAT is NOT used nor permitted in Australia CASA regulations are at https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2020L00693 An AC is available at https://www.casa.gov.au/files/ac-91-23-v10 CASA ADS-B guidance is at https://www.casa.gov.au/book-page/chapter4-surveillance-and-ads-b UAV-1006630-002 ECCN 7A994 REV A Page 7 | 10 6.1 CASA Statement of Compliance An EC device must have a statement of compliance from the EC device manufacturer certifying that the device meets the requirements 1 to 5 of CAO20:18 Part B Appendix XIV before you can legally use it on board an aircraft. The pilot in command of the aircraft is responsible for ensuring that the EC device has a valid declaration and that the declaration is carried on board. SkyEcho meets the requirements of 1 to 5 of CAO20:18 Part B Appendix XIV. Since SkyEcho contains an internal pressure altitude sensor, if used within a pressurized cockpit, the transmitted pressure altitude may be erroneous and may not comply with CASA standards and deviation requirements. For this reason, SkyEcho should be used only in unpressurized aircraft when the transmit function is enabled. Please refer to the CASA EC Web page for more information: https://www.casa.gov.au/airspace/electronic-conspicuity-devices Mode-S or ATCRBS LimitationsAccording to CASA regulations, if the aircraft has an operating Mode-S transponder with ADS-B OUT capability, the SkyEcho transmitter must be deactivated. Receive functionality may still be used. Deactivation of the transmitter is accomplished by removing device power or disabling the transmit capability via the configuration settings. These regulations are subject to change. Please be informed of the most current regulations at: https://www.casa.gov.au/airspace/electronic-conspicuity-devices UAV-1006630-002 ECCN 7A994 REV A Page 8 | 10 6.2 Country Specific Configuration Items The following configuration items augment the configuration instructions found in the SkyEcho Installation and Pilot's Guide with Australia specific information. 6.2.1 Transmit Control Transmission must be deactivated when used on an aircraft with an air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS) Mode-S transponder which has ADS-B OUT enabled. 6.2.2 Receiver Mode FLARM reception is not compatible with Australian FLARM systems. 6.2.3 Call Sign CALL SIGN is an 8-digit code that corresponds to o The VH registration mark alone if the call sign is the abbreviated version of the registration (e.g. for VH-ABC, only ABC should be entered without dashes for domestic operations) o The designator corresponding to a particular call sign approved by Airservices Australia or the Australian Defence Force (e.g. SPTR3 for Firespotter 3, ROLR45 for Roller 45) o The designator corresponding to a particular call sign in accordance with the operations manual of the relevant recreational aircraft administrative organisation (e.g. G123 for Gyroplane 123). Don't add any leading zeros, hyphens, dashes or spaces to the callsign. UAV-1006630-002 ECCN 7A994 REV A Page 9 | 10 · Eg : for Recreational Aviation Aircraft (RAAus) this should be programmed as "R" then the last four digit identifiers in the aircraft registration e.g. R1234. 7 Contact uAvionix For additional questions or support please visit http://uavionix.com/support UAV-1006630-002 ECCN 7A994 REV A Page 10 | 10
