Note

This report uses the term G7500 to refer to the Global 7500 (marketing name) and the BD700-2A12 (Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) identifier), unless otherwise specified.

4.2 Guidance material

The TCCA OE evaluations were conducted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular AC 120-53(B), Guidance for Conducting and Use of Flight Standardization Board (FSB) Evaluations, CASS 421, Appendix A and the joint aviation authorities FAA/EASA/TCCA Common Procedures Document (CPD) for Joint Operational Evaluation Boards (JOEB).

4.3 OE Report effectiveness

Provisions of this report are effective until amended, superseded, or withdrawn by subsequent OE findings.

TCCA reserves the responsibility and authority to re-evaluate and modify sections of this report based on new or revised advisory material, amended Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), aircraft operating experience, or the evaluation of new or modified aircraft under the provisions of the CPD or FAA AC 120-53B (latest revision).

4.4 Application of OE Report

All relevant parts of this report are applicable on the effective date of this report.

Note

  1. The OE activity assesses a specific training program and its content which is relevant to a specific date. Determinations made in this report do not account for any subsequent changes to the training program which have not been evaluated by the OEB.
  2. The applicant proposed training programs evaluated during OEs are not granted TCCA approval. It is incumbent upon the air operators or private operators to ensure their G7500 aircraft series training program is approved or accepted by the Minister under their relevant TCCA regulatory framework (as applicable under subpart 704 or 604 of the CAR) and with the material indicated in this report.

4.5 Alternate means of compliance

The Operation Evaluation Board (OEB) Chairman, the Program Manager of FTOC and/or the Program Manager Small Aircraft Standards should be consulted when alternate means of compliance, other than those specified in this report, are proposed. An applicant will be required to submit a proposed alternate means that provides an equivalent level of safety to the provisions of the CARs and this OE report.

  • Aircraft T5 check,
  • Functional reliability flight day & night,
  • Manual gear extension,
  • RAT deployment,
  • Aircraft handling in direct mode,
  • Actual max crosswind landing,
  • Air cart engine start,
  • Cockpit Emergency Exit Hatch egress exercise conducted,
  • Long range flight to 51,000 ft. to a night landing on a wet runway,
  • Long range flight to 47,000 ft. to a night landing with Autobrakes set to high,
  • Evaluation of the flight deck observer seat,
  • Evaluation of the Flight Crew Sleeping Quarters and Crew Rest Facilities, and
  • Evaluation of the aircraft amenities.
    • Sound levels,
    • Passenger seating comfort,
    • Lavatory

AFM normal, abnormal, emergency procedures and calculated performance parameters (i.e. fuel consumption, cabin PSI at 51,000 ft. etc.) were evaluated during these flights. Flights were conducted out of Montreal to Winnipeg, Ottawa, Vancouver, Quebec, Mirabel, and out of Wichita to Oklahoma City.

12.2 Passenger cabin

The G7500 is certified as a “green” aeroplane and does not include passenger provisions. Each interior configuration requires an evaluation by the TCCA authority responsible for the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) (CAR 704) or Private Operator Registration Document (PORD) (CAR 604) as applicable. Operators should consult their TCCA approving authority early in the planning stages to ensure their specific interior does not introduce any elements that would jeopardize the CARS 704/604 compliance requirements.

12.3 Cabin crew and configuration

The passenger cabin configuration will have a determining factor as to whether the flight crew are able to exercise supervision over the passengers during flight by visual and aural means. Some cabin configurations may make it difficult for the flight crew to effectively supervise passengers during high workload situations or while responding to an emergency.

The requirements of CARS 604.221 determine the cabin crew requirements for private operators and CARS 704.33(1)(e) and 704.33(3) will apply for CARS 704 Operators. Refer to section 13 for further guidance concerning Commercial Air Services.

12.4 Performance

Air Operators will require to demonstrate compliance with CAR 704, Division IV requirements, prior to TCCA approval for operations. The Air Operator’s ability to effectively plan turning departures in areas of high terrain or obstacles will be assessed as part of the approval process. (Additional guidance is provided in the most recent revision of TCCA AC 700-016).

12.5 Flight deck observer seat

The Flight Deck Observer Seat on FTV 70004 (C-GBLR) was installed by a complete interior Supplemental Type Certificate (STC). The seat identified as a B/E Aerospace Fisher GMBH European TSO (EASE.210.10056434) Cockpit Observer Seat 4041356H151 was evaluated by the OE team on December 5, 2018 and found to meet current edition of AC120-83 Flight Deck Observer Seat and Associated Equipment.

12.6 Crew rest facility

The crew rest facility on the G7500 is installed by means of a complete interior Supplemental Type Certificate (STC). The crew rest facility was evaluated on FTV 70004 (C-GBLR) as a:

  • Flight relief facility – bunk – a bunk that meets the requirements of Aerospace Recommended Practice ARP4101/3, Crew Rest Facilities, published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and is configured in accordance with the requirements of section 3.2.9 of Aerospace Recommended Practice ARP4101, Flight Deck Layout and Facilities, published by the SAE; and as a
  • Flight relief facility – seat – a fully reclining seat that is separated and screened off from the passengers and flight deck, that is equipped with a call device, a restraint system designed to restrain a sleeping person and portable oxygen equipment, and that is not subject to distraction from noise generated in the cabin.

Both formats were evaluated by the FAA meet the requirements of ARP4101/3. TCCA accepts the findings of the FAA.

12.7 Aircraft approach category and circling minima:

The G7500 is considered Category “C” aircraft for the purposes of determining "straight-in landing weather minima”. This approach category is determined by the maximum certified landing weight approach speed in the Flap 4 landing configuration.

Circling approaches for the G7500 are flown with the landing gear down, Flaps 4, and Vref + 10 kts. The approach category and associated approach minima will be determined by the approach/circling speed flown and shall not be less than Category “C” on a circling approach.

12.8 Normal final approach flap setting

The normal Final Approach Flap Settings for the G7500 is Flap 4.

12.9 Tire Pressure Indicating System (TPIS)

FTV 70004 (C-GBLR) utilized for the operational flights was equipped with a Tire Pressure Indicating System (TPIS) which is an option on the G7500. Operators that will operate a G7500 equipped with a TPIS or any other optional system will require training on system knowledge to be included in the TCCA approved training program for initial, recurrent and upgrade.

12.10 Computerized Aircraft Flight Manual (CAFM)

The CAFM is delivered with every G7500. The OE team was provided with a demonstration on its use. Training on CAFM use is not required for initial type training. Instructor led Aeroplane performance training is provided. Operators will determine how they will integrate the use of the CAFM into their operation prior to EIS and will provide training on the CAFM.

12.11 Cockpit emergency exit hatch

The G7500 is equipped with a cockpit emergency exit hatch. The OE team evaluated emergency egress practical exercise. Pursuant to CASS 724.115 (c) & CARS 604.169 (2) operations on the use of emergency exits which includes practical training is required for the G7500.

12.12 Commercial Air Services CAR Subpart 704 – Commuter Operations

A ministerial authorization is required to allow Canadian air operators to operate the G7500 under subpart 704 as the maximum zero fuel weight of the aeroplane exceeds the 22 680 kg (50,000 pounds) limit set out in paragraph 704.01(b) of the CARs.

The visual and aural supervision of passengers is required to perform safety-related duties and to manage the passengers in an emergency situation. On aircraft where flight crew members cannot exercise supervisory control over the passengers by visual and aural means, a cabin crew member is required to augment the crew. A cabin crew member is a crew member, other than a flight crew member, who has been assigned duties to be performed in the interest of the passengers in a passenger-carrying aircraft.

Subpart 704 of the CARs is largely silent regarding the required safety and emergency equipment and the responsibilities and training of a cabin crew member. Therefore, where passenger carrying authority is requested, an exemption from paragraph 704.33(1)(e) is required to incorporate the occupant and cabin safety conditions that have been identified as necessary to provide for an acceptable level of safety.

These exemptions outline the conditions applicable to operating the G7500 in an on demand commercial air service. (See NCR-012-2020 and NCR-013-2020)

Appendix 7 – Required navigation performance authorization required approach (RNP AR APCH)

1.0 General

1.1 Scope

An Operational Evaluation (OE) was conducted to evaluate the acceptability of Bombardier Inc. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specialty training program, associated pilot qualification requirements and operational suitability of RNP AR APCH for the Global 7500 BD-700-2A12 (G7500).

Note:

This LOA uses mandatory terms such as "must", "shall" and "is/are required" to convey the intent of the Regulatory requirements and of other guidance documents. The term "should" is to be understood to mean that the proposed method of compliance must be used, unless an alternate means compliance has been determined and approved.

1.2 Applicability

Canadian air operators and private operators require an operational approval “Specific Approval/Special Authorization” (SA) to conduct RNP AR APCH and must comply with AC 700-024 Issue 03 or the latest version.

RNP AR APCH is an optional functionality on the G7500 and must be operated in accordance with the G7500 AFM Supplement 10.

Completion of RNP AR APCH training does not constitute operational approval to conduct such operations.

Notes

  1. In this report/LOA, G7500 represents the Global 7500 BD 700-2A12.
  2. There is no change to the G7500 pilot Type rating designation.

1.3 OE summary

TCCA (as lead authority), the FAA and EASA conducted a Joint Operational Evaluation Board (JOEB) to evaluate the specialty training and the operational suitability of the G7500 RNP AR APCH capabilities during the period of June 09 to June 28, 2023.

The JOEB evaluated Computer-Based Training (CBT), Instructor Led Training (ILT) and Full Flight Simulator (FFS) training that was delivered by CAE Business Aviation Training at the Montreal QC facility.

Following the CBT, ILT and FFS training evaluation, the JOEB team conducted Authority specific T3 tests to evaluate the Level D training in the G7500 FFS.

The JOEB also conducted a right seat validation session and determine no difference training elements for operating RNP AR APCH as Pilot Flying (PF) from the right seat.

Following the FFS T3 testing, on-aircraft suitability flights were conducted on a Bombardier G7500 demonstration aircraft (N717GL) Serial #70117. Each JOEB members conducted 3 approaches using the RNAV (RNP) Z runway 08 located at the Rifle Garfield County airport (KRIL).

The T3 test consisted of:

  • All Engine Operating (AEO) - normal approach,
  • AEO - deviations in path lateral / vertical and missed approach conducted during an RF leg after the Final Approach Point (FAP) respecting speed constraint, and
  • Operating Engine Inoperative (OEI) - approach with missed approach prior to DA

The RNP AR APCH Specialty training course (CBT, ILT & FFS) evaluated by TCCA was deemed to be acceptable for use as the basis of an air operator’s (CAR 704) and private operator’s training program (CAR 604).

1.4 Description

RNP AR APCH operations provides unique instrument procedures requiring additional levels of scrutiny, control, onboard performance monitoring and alerting, training and authorization. Approaches may be developed to provide access to aerodromes affected by terrain, obstacles, airspace and capacity constraints. The primary NAVAID infrastructure supporting RNP AR is the global navigation satellite system (GNSS).

The G7500 aircraft is capable of dual or single engine RNP AR approach operations. It is certified and approved specifically for approaches greater than or equal to RNP 0.3 in the approach segment and RNP 1.0 in the missed approach segment. Compliance with the AFM standards does not constitute approval to conduct RNP AR approach operations.

  • Two (2) All Engine Operating (AEO) approach to a landing,
  • One (1) AEO approach resulting to a Missed Approach Procedure (MAP) at Decision Altitude (DA), and
  • One (1) approach conducted where Operating Engine Inoperative (OEI) simulated prior to DA resulting in OEI MAP.

The SAL specialty training course (CBT, ILT & FFS) evaluated by TCCA was deemed to be acceptable for use as the basis of an air operator’s (CAR 704) and private operator’s training program (CAR 604).

1.4 Description

SAL operation provides the ability to conduct an instrument approach procedure to aerodromes that may be confined by terrain, obstacles or noise abatement requirements due to highly populated areas. The lowest value of approach path angle to be considered steep approach landing rules is 4.5 degrees.

The G7500 aircraft is certified and capable of steep approach with published glidepath angles from 4.5 to 5.5 degrees (inclusively). The G7500 is limited to steep approach with ILS guidance and/or published visual approaches with vertical path guidance (i.e., PAPI). SAL applies to BD-700-2A12 (G7500) airplanes incorporating Service Bulletins (SB):

  • SB 700-34-7511
  • SB 700-27-7502
  • SB 700-27-7503
  • SB 700-34-7521
  • SB 700-34-7523

Compliance with the AFM standards does not constitute approval to conduct SAL operations.

1.5 Regulatory, guidance and operational material

The TCCA OE evaluation was conducted using the following documents:

  • Global 7500 AFM Supplement 20 – STEEP APPROACHES WITH PUBLISHED GLIDEPATH ANGLES FROM 4.5 TO 5.5 DEGREES

Flight crew training, checking and currency requires the use of a TCCA National Simulator Evaluation Program (NSEP) qualified level C or higher G7500 FFS (single or dual HUD as applicable) with day and night visual displays and approved visual scenes for the intended aerodromes.

It is the Operator’s responsibility to ensure the training and checking scripts are developed using approved airport scene.

7.0 Miscellaneous

7.1 Flight under supervision

The CAA and/or Aerodrome Authority may require flight crew member to conduct minimum number of steep approach landing under supervision with a qualified instructor before being permitted to do so without supervision. For example, when operating into EGLC, the initial flight may be only conducted under Visual Meteorological Condition with specific minimum visibilities and ceiling.

7.2 SAL operations at specific aerodromes

For the conduct OE activity, SAL operations training program (CBT, ILT and FFS) was developed using London City, United Kingdom (EGLC) airport. Operators will need to assess any potential changes to the training content, specifically the aerodrome / airport requirements as this report does not take into consideration any subsequent amendments post OE activity.

SAL operations for EGCL and any other aerodromes will require operators to adhere to the regulatory requirements of the CAA associated with that aerodrome. Operators should be aware that there may be additional or different requirements than those provided in this appendix.

Appendix 9 – Category II Operations (CAT II)

1.0 General

1.1 Scope

An Operational Evaluation (OE) was conducted to evaluate the acceptability of Bombardier Inc. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specialty training program, associated pilot qualification requirements and operational suitability of CAT II OPERATIONS for the Global 7500 BD-700-2A12 (G7500).

Note:

This LOA uses mandatory terms such as "must", "shall" and "is/are required" to convey the intent of the Regulatory requirements and of other guidance documents. The term "should" is to be understood to mean that the proposed method of compliance must be used, unless an alternate means compliance has been determined and approved.

1.2 Applicability

Canadian air operators and private operators require an operational approval “Specific Approval / Special Authorization” (SA) to conduct CAT II OPERATIONS and must comply with CAR requirements and the Manual of All Weather Operations (Categories II and III) TP1490 June 11 4th edition or the latest version.

CAT II OPERATIONS is baseline with flight deck software version 2.2 on the G7500 and must be operated in accordance with the G7500 AFM Supplement 30.

Completion of CAT II OPERATIONS training does not constitute operational approval to conduct such operations.

Notes

  1. In this report/LOA, G7500 represents the Global 7500 BD 700-2A12.
  2. There is no change to the G7500 pilot Type rating designation.
  3. The CAT II OPERATIONS training does not provide the associated CASS 724.115 (21) Lower than Standard Take-off Weather Minima training requirements.

1.3 OE Summary

TCCA (as lead authority), the FAA and EASA conducted a Joint Operational Evaluation Board (JOEB) to evaluate the specialty training and the operational suitability of the CAT II OPERATIONS capabilities during the period of October 09 to October 23, 2023.

The JOEB evaluated Computer-Based Training (CBT), Instructor Led Training (ILT) and Full Flight Simulator (FFS) training that was delivered by CAE Business Aviation Training at the Montreal QC facility.

Following the CBT, ILT and FFS training evaluation, the JOEB team conducted Authority specific T3 tests to evaluate the Level D training in the G7500 FFS.

The JOEB also conducted a right seat validation session and determine no difference training elements for operating CAT II OPERATIONS as Pilot Flying (PF) from the right seat.

Following the FFS T3 testing, on-aircraft suitability flights were conducted on a Bombardier G7500 Flight Test Vehicle 3 (FTV3 / C-GLBX Serial #70003). Each JOEB member conducted a minimum of 6 CAT II approaches at various airports located in the vicinity of Wichita. KS, USA.

The T3 test consisted of:

  • All Engine Operating (AEO):
    • CAT II using Head-Up Display (HUD), Auto Throttle and Auto Pilot to a landing,
    • CAT II using HUD display, Auto Throttle to a missed approach,
    • CAT II using Head Down Display, Auto Throttle to a missed approach,
  • Operating Engine Inoperative (OEI):
    • CAT II using HUD display, Auto Throttle and Auto Pilot to a landing,
    • CAT II using HUD display, Auto Throttle to a missed approach,
    • CAT II using Head Down Display (HDD), Auto Throttle to a missed approach.

Notes:

  1. Due to aircraft system failure and associated CAT II INVALID Caution message, TCCA and EASA chairs conducted additional approaches:
    1. TCCA chairman conduced 2 additional missed approach prior to the FAF in accordance with the CAT II OPERATIONS standard operating procedures.
    2. EASA chairman conducted a CAT II approach and reverted to a CAT I approach to a landing.
  2. Associated system failures:
    1. invalid LOC 1 / ADF 1 (RIU 1) during Suitability Flight #1.
    2. R MAIN GEAR DOORS and GEAR SYS FAIL Caution message during Suitability Flight #2.

The CAT II OPERATIONS Specialty training course (CBT, ILT & FFS) evaluated by TCCA was deemed to be acceptable for use as the basis of an air operator’s (CAR 704) and private operator’s training program (CAR 604).

1.4 Description

CAT II OPERATIONS provides unique precision instrument approach to a landing at airports that are equipped to support these operations. These operations necessitate specific aircraft certification requirements, flight crew training, operational procedures, specific aerodrome installations requirements and procedures, and specific approach design criteria.

The G7500 aircraft is certified for AEO and OEI CAT II OPERATIONS. Its operations are approved with Autopilot (AP) and/or Autothrottle (AT) engaged or disengaged, using Flight Director (FD) displayed on either the HUD or HDD. CAT II Operations requires flight deck software version 2.2.

Compliance with the AFM standards does not constitute approval to conduct CAT II OPERATIONS.

      • AP and AT engaged,
      • Reduced automation and without all automation (as applicable per operator’s operating authorization).
    • combination of HDD:
      • AP and AT engaged,
      • Reduced automation and without all automation (as applicable per operator’s operating authorization).
  • An approach to incorporate system malfunction (non normal procedures) other than OEI which may lead to a missed approach or a landing.
  • The preceding approaches to incorporate the following conditions:
    • Day and night,
    • Dry and wet runway,
    • Lowest minima / visibility approved for the operator,
    • Various wind conditions. Training must include maximum demonstrated headwind and maximum crosswind authorized as per TP1490, and
    • Balked landing.
  • Scenarios / scripts should be developed with local environmental weather or local phenomena as to provide realistic operational conditions.

Consideration must be given if using the aircraft repositioning function as to allow crews to brief (SOP), sequence and prepare for each subsequent training events.

Notes:

  1. The minimum number of Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) which demonstrated compliance and proficiency for CAT II OPERATION considering different configurations / automation level was ten (10) approaches (five (5) to a landing and five (5) to a missed approach). Operator training program number of IAP would be dependent of any COM limitations in CAT II OPERATIONS (i.e., autopilot couple mode).
  2. The G7500 flight training program was evaluated and assessed as acceptable using a qualified level C or higher FFS. Any amendments to the qualified level will require a review and an evaluation process in accordance with section 4.5 Alternate Means of Compliance section of the G7500 OE report.

2.5 Recurrent ground training

Recurrent ground training must meet the training requirements of the CAR and TP 1490 Manual of All Weather Operations (Category II & III) latest issue.

2.6 Recurrent flight training

The recurrent FFS training program must meet the training requirements of the CAR and TP 1490 Manual of All Weather Operations (Category II & III) latest issue.

A minimum of two CAT II OPERATIONS approaches must be flown by each pilot (PF and PM), with one culminating in a landing and one culminating in a missed approach considering the following requirements:

  • One AEO and OEI approach,
  • A missed approach from the lowest minima approved for the operator, or reject landing as applicable, and
  • A landing at the maximum crosswind authorized (TP 1490)

Where an operator is authorizing to conduct CAT II OPERATIONS in various combination of equipment and automation, the training program should incorporate such combinations in the training program.

2.7 Training Area of Special Emphasis (TASE)

Several aircraft system and/or procedures must receive special emphasis to enhance pilot training and understanding of the CAT II OPERATIONS in the G7500.

Special emphasis training during initial, recurrent and upgrade training shall be provided in the following areas:

  • Ground training emphasis on the concept and operational requirements / differences for CAT II OPERATIONS for RA NOT AUTHORIZED IAP.
  • Ground and FFS training emphasizing HDD approach considerations and different operational procedures specific to non-HUD CAT II OPERATIONS.

Note:

For HDD CAT II Operations, operator may develop training implementing Pilot Monitor Approach (PMA) procedures.

3.0 Pilot checking

3.1 Applicability

In conducting CAT II OPERATIONS, specific duties and procedures are assigned to the PF and PM. Therefore, the requirement for initial and recurrent checking is applicable to both PIC and the SIC.

CAT II OPERATIONS checking differences were established to be at Level D. The details are defined in the following sub-section.

Annex B provides the Differences Tables (ODR) overview.

Notes:

  1. The term “checking” refers to a Competency Check (CC) event (CAR 604) or a Pilot Proficiency Check (PPC) event (CAR 704).
  2. Operators and/or training organizations shall ensure that the authorized ACP, ACP TCE or AQP evaluator and the individual assigned as a seat substitute during the FFS checking:
    1. has the following qualifications:
      1. ACP is G7500 type rated and meeting the requirements of the ACP manual.
      2. seat substitute is qualified and current on the aircraft type.
    2. both comply with the operator’s Company Operations Manual (COM), Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Aircraft Operating Manual (AOM) if applicable, and
    3. both has completed the G7500 CAT II OPERATIONS specialty training and checking.

3.2 Initial and recurrent checking requirement

The CAT II checking is to be conducted in accordance with the CAR requirements – PPC schedule and TP 1490 Manual of All Weather Operations (Category II & III) latest issue.

Flight crews conducting CAT II OPERATIONS shall have completed a PPC or Competency Check (CC), as applicable, following successful completion of training program and prior to commencing CAT II OPERATIONS.

Checking should be conducted within 30 days after completion of the specialty training.

The CAT II OPERATIONS IAP may substitute a precision approach on any initial or recurrent checking required under CAR 604 and CAR 704 PPC schedule.

4.0 Pilot currency

Operators flight crew shall maintain currency in accordance with CAR 704 and/or CAR 604 requirements.

CAT II OPERATIONS currency differences were established to be at Level D. Annex B provides the Differences Tables (ODR) overview.

5.0 Operational suitability

The G7500 CAT II OPERATIONS has been determined to be operationally suitable when operated in accordance with the AFM supplement and associated operational documents.

This applies to operators operating under CAR 704 and CAR 604.

6.0 Flight Simulation Training Devices

Flight crew training, checking and currency requires the use of a TCCA National Simulator Evaluation Program (NSEP) qualified level C or higher G7500 FFS (single or dual HUD as applicable) with day and night visual displays and approved visual scenes for the intended aerodromes.

It is the Operator’s responsibility to ensure the training and checking scripts are developed using approved airport scene.
