The outcome of APANPIRG/21 on matters relating to ADS-B is provided in Appendix A to the Report. The Reports of Ninth Meeting of ADS-B Task Force and Fifth Meeting of the working group were also reviewed by CNS/MET SG/14 meeting held in Jakarta, Indonesia from 19 to 22 July 2010. 2.2. APANPIRG/21 appreciated the efforts and progress made by the ADS-B SITF and the SEA ADS-B WG and expressed its appreciation and gratitude to the DGCA, Indonesia for hosting the Fifth Meeting of the South East Asia Sub-Regional ADS-B Implementation Working Group, the Regulator’s Workshop on ADS-B Avionics Requirement and the Ninth Meeting of the ADS-B Study and Implementation Task Force. 2.3. APANPIRG/21 noted the trial and implementation status by States and some issues observed during the implementation. The following outcome of APANPIRG/21 meeting on ADS-B and their follow-up actions taken by the ICAO APAC Regional Office were noted: − Under Conclusion 21/38, APANPIRG/21 adopted regional guidance material on processing and display of ADS-B Tracks on Air Traffic Controller Positions; Follow-up State letter Ref.: T 8/10.21:AP017/11 (CNS) was distributed on 2 February 2011. − In its Conclusion 21/39, APANPIRG/21 agreed to a Template for promulgation of ADS-B Avionics Equipage Requirements. States were encouraged to use the adopted template to promulgate mandating rule for ADS-B Avionics Equipage Requirements as soon as possible; Follow-up State letter Ref.: T 8/10.21:AP174/10 (CNS) was distributed on 24 November 2010. 2 Summary of Discussions − In its Conclusion 21/40, APANPIRG/21 adopted Guidelines for Airworthiness and Operational Approval for ADS-B Avionics Equipage; Follow-up State letter Ref.: T 8/10.21:AP008/11 (CNS) was distributed on 24 January 2011. − In its Conclusion 21/42, APANPIRG/21 agreed to a recommended rule on misleading ADS-B Transmissions. States are requested to consider publishing additional provisions for misleading ADS-B transmissions; Follow-up State letter Ref.: T 8/10.21: AP175/10 (CNS) was distributed on 24 November 2010. 2.4. The meeting noted that the guidance materials, the guidelines and the revised regional Surveillance Strategy adopted by APANPIRG/21 have been posted in the ICAO APAC website: http://www.bangkok.icao.int/edocs. Awareness by States for airworthiness and operational approval 2.5. Australia anticipates that the rate of new ADS-B approvals for foreign airlines will slow down because the responsibility for operational approval now lies with the State of registration. Australia highlighted that some States may not be aware of the ADS-B equipage requirements. IATA mentioned that the lack of awareness amongst the States may make the transition from ‘airframe by airframe’ to ‘operational approval by State of registry’ difficult. While the responsibility of operational approval lies with the State of registry, IATA is prepared to support in any way possible. The Secretariat noted that a number of States have already issued the mandate. Airlines therefore have the responsibility to request for the operational approval from the State of registry. In this regard, the secretariat was requested to help forwarding the guidelines on operational approval adopted by APANPIRG to the States outside Asia/Pacific region through ICAO regional offices while IATA was requested to remind its member airlines about their responsibility. 2.6. Australia highlighted the need to inform States outside Asia/Pacific Region that there are mandates in this region. These States will also need to be aware that they are responsible for operational approval as well. IATA will have to inform the airlines that there is a need to follow up with their own State regulators to obtain operational approval, based on the mandates in various regions. Members of the working group were encouraged to update the Task Force meeting in April 2011 on whether the State regulator has issued operational approval to the aircraft operators registered in their States for ADS-B operation. 2.7. On the issue of misleading data, Australia emphasized that there is a need to get State regulators to prevent airlines from transmitting
