Part CAT - ANNEX IV - Commercial Air Transport Operations

(6) notices to airmen (NOTAMs) and aeronautical information service (AIS) briefing
documentation.
(b) Electronic aeronautical chart applications including en-route, area, approach, and airport
surface maps.
(c) Airport moving map display (AMMD) applications.
(d) Applications that make use of the aeronautical operational control (AOC) communications
to collect, process and then disseminate operational data.
(e) Aircraft performance calculation applications that use algorithmic data or that perform
calculations using software algorithms to provide aircraft performance data such as:
(1) take-off, en-route, approach and landing, missed approach and other phases of
flight, performance calculations providing limiting masses, distances, times and/or
speeds, etc.;
(2) power settings, including reduced take-off thrust settings, etc.
(f) Mass and balance calculation applications used to establish the mass and centre of gravity
of the aircraft and to determine that the load and its distribution are such that the mass and
balance limits of the aircraft are not exceeded.
(g) Applications providing in-flight weather information.
CAT.GEN.MPA.141(b) GM1 Use of electronic flight bags (EFBs)
TACTICAL USE
The tactical use of an EFB application is considered to be related to short-term decision-making, while
strategic use is related to long-term decision-making support.
CAT.GEN.MPA.141(b) GM2 Use of electronic flight bags (EFBs)
HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI) FOR TYPE A EFB APPLICATIONS
An HMI assessment is not required for a type A EFB application. However, type A EFB applications
should be designed in accordance with the human factor principles in order to minimise their impacts
on crew workload.
CAT.GEN.MPA.145 Information on emergency and survival equipment carried
The operator shall at all times have available for immediate communication to rescue coordination
centres (RCCs) lists containing information on the emergency and survival equipment carried on
board any of their aircraft.
CAT.GEN.MPA.145 AMC1 Information on emergency and survival equipment carried
ITEMS FOR COMMUNICATION TO THE RESCUE COORDINATION CENTRE
The information, compiled in a list, should include, as applicable, the number, colour and type of life
rafts and pyrotechnics, details of emergency medical supplies, e.g. first-aid kits, emergency medical
kits, water supplies and the type and frequencies of emergency portable radio equipment.
CAT.GEN.MPA.150 Ditching — aeroplanes
The operator shall only operate an aeroplane with a passenger seating configuration of more than 30
on overwater flights at a distance from land suitable for making an emergency landing, greater than
120 minutes at cruising speed, or 400 NM, whichever is less, if the aeroplane complies with the
ditching provisions prescribed in the applicable certification specification or specifications.
CAT.GEN.MPA.155 Carriage of weapons of war and munitions of war
(a) The operator shall only transport weapons of war or munitions of war by air if an approval
to do so has been granted by all States whose airspace is intended to be used for the
flight.
(b) Where an approval has been granted, the operator shall ensure that weapons of war and
munitions of war are:
(1) stowed in the aircraft in a place that is inaccessible to passengers during flight; and
(2) in the case of firearms, unloaded.
(c) The operator shall ensure that, before a flight begins, the commander is notified of the
details and location on board the aircraft of any weapons of war and munitions of war
intended to be carried.
CAT.GEN.MPA.155 GM1 Carriage of weapons of war and munitions of war
WEAPONS OF WAR AND MUNITIONS OF WAR
(a) In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 300/2008, weapons of war may be carried on
board an aircraft, in a place that is not inaccessible, if the required security conditions in
accordance with national laws have been fulfilled and authorisation has been given by the
States involved.
(b) There is no internationally agreed definition of weapons of war and munitions of war. Some
States may have defined them for their particular purposes or for national need.
(c) It is the responsibility of the operator to check, with the State(s) concerned, whether or not
a particular weapon or munition is regarded as a weapon of war or munitions of war. In this
context, States that may be concerned with granting approvals for the carriage of weapons
of war or munitions of war are those of origin, transit, overflight and destination of the
consignment and the State of the operator.
(d) Where weapons of war or munitions of war are also dangerous goods by definition (e.g.
torpedoes, bombs, etc.), CAT.GEN.MPA.200 Transport of dangerous goods also applies.
CAT.GEN.MPA.160 Carriage of sporting weapons and ammunition
(a) The operator shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that any sporting weapons
intended to be carried by air are reported to the operator.
(b) The operator accepting the carriage of sporting weapons shall ensure that they are:
(1) stowed in the aircraft in a place that is inaccessible to passengers during flight; and
