TP 15530 - section overview

In plain language

Outlines the knowledge requirements for pilots operating under Level 1 complex operations in Canada, specifically covering airspeed indicators, inertial measurement units (IMU), detect and avoid (DAA) systems, and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS/GPS).

Requirement as structured

Outlines the knowledge requirements for pilots operating under Level 1 complex operations in Canada, specifically covering airspeed indicators, inertial measurement units (IMU), detect and avoid (DAA) systems, and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS/GPS).

Original regulatory text

The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Describe the difference between airspeed and ground speed. - Describe which system is used for RPA speed. Inertial measurement unit (IMU) The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Describe the effects of an uncalibrated or defective IMU. Detect and avoid systems (DAA) The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Demonstrate an understanding of DAA principles (i.e., Risk Ratio, and ARC). - Describe different types, strengths, and weaknesses of each DAA sensor type. - Explain what effect sensor range has on the area the RPAS can move within. - Describe automatic collision avoidance vs. manual collision avoidance. - Describe avoidance maneuver planning relevant to DAA systems. - Describe the function and limitations of visual based camera detection systems. - Describe the function and limitations of on-wing and ground-based RADAR. - Describe the requirements of a vision-based DAA system. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS / GPS) The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Describe the effect of solar activity on GNSS signals. - Describe signal limitations caused by the flight environment and geography. - Describe the various GNSS positioning solutions and augmentation systems.
