1 General
Inspections of different types of radio navigations aids at 52 airports in Norway, including Svalbard/Spitsbergen airspace. The navigation aids in question are ILS Cat I,II,III, VOR,DME, NDB and VDF. Additionally, the scope will be commissioning flights and validation of RNAV and GNSS procedures. The activities referenced above shall be based on recommendations in ICAO Doc 8071.
2 SCAT-I
Verification of correct coverage of the VHF-datalink; radio-technical field-strength measurements in dBm, for SCAT-I purposes.
3 Validation of the SCAT-I approach procedure; verifying that the published procedure is flyable,
NOTE: SCAT-I is a differential GPS-based (Ground Based Augmentation System) instrument landing system, with performance equal to that of ILS Cat-I. The system is a fore-runner to todays GBAS-systems, where the fundamental difference between the two is that the VHF datalink of SCAT-I has a proprietary protocol. SCAT-I is installed/will be installed on 17 of Norway’s regional airports; and is currently operated by Wideroes Flyveselskap AS (WIF) operating with DH-8-100 and Sundt Air (MDT) operating with BE20.
Avinor is in the process for applying for an exemption from BSL G 9-1 section 6 (2) regarding procedures for the commissioning of SCAT-I navigation systems. The tenders will be informed about the results of these process.
