of radio apparatus

in aircraft.

(c) the apparatus shall be installed in the aircraft in a man- ner approved in writing by the Director as complying with all relevant requirements of the "British Civil Air- worthiness Requirements". Any such approval given for the purpose of this requirement shall remain in force for such period, not exceeding twelve months, as may be shown therein, but may be renewed from time to time on application to the Director :

Provided that the requirements of this paragraph shall not be deemed to apply to self-contained portable receivers which are not attached physically or connected electrically to the aircraft or its electrical system.

(a) Where radio apparatus manufactured elsewhere than in the United Kingdom is installed in an aircraft and in respect of such apparatus a document has been issued by the competent authorities of the State in which it was manufactured certifying that the apparatus is of a type approved by them, the Director may, if he is satisfied that the apparatus has been designed and constructed to standards not lower than those required in respect of similar types of apparatus manufactured in the United King- dom, and subject to such conditions as he thinks fit, confer on such document the same validity as if it had been issued in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (1)(a) of this regula- tion.

(3) The provisions of paragraph (1)(c) of this regulation shall apply to such apparatus and to the installation of such apparatus in the aircraft.

7. (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this regulation and to the provisions of regulation 8

A. no aircraft shall carry out a flight-

() in circumstances which require it to communicate by radio with Air Traffic Control in order to comply with the rules of the Air and Air Traffic Control in Schedule II to the Order unless it is equipped with radio apparatus capable of maintaining two-way communication with the appropriate aeronautical stations at any time during the flight; or

(ii) under Instrument Flight Rules within a control area or a control zone unless it is equipped with radio navigation apparatus capable of enabling the aircraft

to be navigated in accordance with the flight plan submitted to the appropriate Air Traffic Control and with any instructions received from Control;

B. no public transport aircraft, except a public transport aircraft which is being used solely for the purpose of training any persons carried therein, in addition to the personnel thereof, to perform duties in an aircraft, shall carry out a flight-

(ii) under Visual Flight Rules over a route where navi- gation is not or cannot be effected by visual reference to landmarks unless it is equipped with radio apparatus capable of maintaining two-way com- munication with at least one aeronautical station at any time during the flight and of enabling the air- craft to be navigated in accordance with the plan for the fight;

(iii) under Visual Flight Rules or Instrument Flight Rules unless it is equipped with radio apparatus capable of maintaining two-way communication with the appropriate aeronautical station for purposes of aerodrome control or approach control when arriving at or departing from a designated international air- port or an aerodrome in the Colony which has been notified for the purposes of this requirement;

(iv) under Visual Flight Rules over water beyond gliding distance from the nearest shore unless it is equipped with radio apparatus capable of maintain- ing continuous communication with an aeronautical station;

(v) under Instrument Flight Rules unless it is equipped with radio apparatus capable of receiving messages containing meteorological information transmitted by aeronautical stations for the assistance of aircraft;
