Title
PART 7 – INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT
- Regulation Number : 10
- Year : 2018
- Date of Gazette : 27/11/2018
- Classification : Statutes / Acts
Introduction
Part 7 presents regulatory requirements for instruments and equipment on aircraft expected to
operate in Ghana and incorporates the Standards and Recommended Practices of ICAO Annex 6,
Parts I,II and III.
These requirements address three categories of aircraft operations. The sections of Part 7 applicable
to all aircraft address minimum requirements, and are noted by the key (AAC) preceding the
particular section. It is important to note that the AAC designation applies to all aircraft in the
AOC Holder (AOC) categories unless other, more specific Directives supplant the (AAC)
requirement. In some instances, certain items such as Mach meters or sea anchors apply only to
aircraft with performance characteristics requiring such items. Some (AAC) requirements apply to
other passenger-carrying aircraft, most particularly corporate aircraft that may have performance
and range capabilities matching the type of aircraft operated by commercial air transport entities
of AOC holders. Similarly, some equipment specified for (CAT) or (AOC) aircraft have sections keyed
as (AAC). In such instances, if a non- (CAT) or (AOC) aircraft is fitted with such equipment, the
equipment characteristics must comply with the applicable sections designated (AAC). The key
(CAT) addresses those aircraft operated commercially, that is, for compensation or hire, within
Ghana or into or from Ghana. (CAT) requirements will apply to (AOC) aircraft unless a section
designated as (AOC) supplies a more specific requirement. The key (AOC) applies to AOC holders
operating in Ghana, whether on domestic or international flights. Certain sections, such as those
addressing MNPS airspace, may not address airspace contiguous to Ghana, but anticipate that
Ghana AOC holder’s aircraft may operate through such airspace in the course of commerce. Such
requirements are intended to facilitate the integration of Ghana AOC holders into such operations.
As in other Parts of these Directives, operators of aircraft operated in Ghana but registered in
another Contracting State must notify the Authority in Ghana when alterations or major repairs
are made to the aircraft. Ghana may have unique territorial or geographic features that may affect
the operation of aircraft, and must be kept informed of the condition of aircraft operated within its
borders.
