Dear Sir,

Periodicity of Ground and FIisht Testine ofNavisational Aids

This is to trotiry the issuance of a revision to the implementing Standard 034 (IS034) giving effect to the
ICAO standards and recommended pmctices contained in ANNEX 10 Volume 1.

Non availability ofthe state regulations on the periodicity ofground and flight testing ofNavigational Aids
was a finding at the ICAO USOAP audit 2018 that was required to be ad&essed by CAASL.

Accordingly, above revisiofi to IS 034 is published incorporating the periodicity requirements for the
Calibration of Navigatioml Aids.

Claufjes 2.2.2 Dp to 2.2,2.3 of IS034 declares the new periodicity.

Please find attached to this communique, Chapter 2 to IS034 containing above information for easy
reference.

Your attention is sought to adhere to above periodicity requirements in ground and flight t€sting of
Navigational Aids.
