AIRWORTHINESS APPROVAL OF AVIONICS EQUIPMENTAppendix 1Existing Avionics StandardsAC 21-46 v3.0September 2014Page A1

AIRWORTHINESS APPROVAL OF AVIONICS EQUIPMENTEquipment manufactured and approved under earlier standards are acceptable unless that standard has been cancelled or the equipment approval has been withdrawn. No new equipment approvals will be issued againstsuperseded standards.TSO, ATSO, ETSO and EUROCAE standards refer to other documents, such as RTCA documents, for technical standards. The TSO, ATSO, ETSO or EUROCAE standards may also modify, change or have additional sectionsof the referred technical documents.Most TSOs refer to RTCA/DO-178B for software considerations, RTCA/DO-160(at a version specified in the TSO) for environmental considerations and RTCA/DO-254 for hardware aspect of complex designs. Later revisions orEUROCAE equivalents are also acceptable. An earlier version of DO-178 may be acceptable and Annex II of EASA AMC 20-115C provides further details.EQUIPMENTFAA TSOAeronautical Mobile High Frequency Data Link(HFDL) EquipmentTSO-C158 : 2004ETSO-C158 : 2012Air Data Computer (ADC)TSO-C106 : 1988ETSO-106A1 : 2013Aircraft Audio Systems and EquipmentTSO-C139 : 2005ETSO-C139 : 2010Airspeed InstrumentsTSO-C2d : 1989ETSO-C2d : 2003AS8019A : 1996Altimeter, Pressure Actuated, Sensitive TypeTSO-C10b : 1959ETSO-C10b : 2003AS392C : 1959Anticollision Light SystemsTSO-C96a : 1989ETSO-C96a : 2003AS8017C : 2011Area Navigation Equipment Using Multi-Sensor InputsTSO-C115c : 2012ETSO-C115c : 2013Audio Selector Panels and AmplifiersTSO-C139a : 2014Automatic Dead Reckoning Computer EquipmentUtilizing Aircraft Heading and Doppler Ground Speedand Drift Angle Data (Air Carrier Aircraft)Automatic Direction Finding (ADF) EquipmentTSO-C41d : 1985Automatic PilotsATSOETSOSAERTCAEUROCAEDO-265 : 2000AS8002A : 1996DO-214A : 2013DO-187 : 1984ED-58 : 1988DO-214A : 2013ED-18 : 1985ETSO-C68a : 2003DO-158 : 1975ETSO-2C41d : 2003DO-179 : 1982ETSO-C9c : 2003AS402C : 2012ETSO-C88a : 2003AS8003 : 1974ED-51 amd 1 1987Automatic Pressure Altitude Reporting CodeGenerating EquipmentTSO-C88b : 2007Aviation Visual Distress SignalsTSO-C168 : 2004Bank and Pitch Instruments Artificial Horizon AttitudeGyro Attitude IndicatorTSO-C4c : 1959ETSO-C4c : 2003Batteries Lithium Sulphur DioxideTSO-C179a : 2011ETSO-2C179a : 2012Batteries Nickel-Cadmium and Lead- AcidTSO-C173a : 2013ETSO-C173 : 2008DO-293A : 2009Batteries Non-Rechargeable Lithium CellsTSO-C142a : 2006ETSO-C142a : 2008DO-227 : 1995Batteries Rechargeable Lithium CellsTSO-C179a : 2011ETSO-2C179 : 2012DO-311 : 2008Battery Based Emergency Power Unit (BEPU)TSO-C174 : 2005ETSO-C174A1 : 2013DO-293A : 2009Carbon Monoxide Detector InstrumentsTSO-C48a : 2009ETSO-2C48a : 2010ETSO-C48 : 2003 IVCargo Compartment Fire Detection InstrumentsTSO-C1d : 2004ETSO-C1c : 2003Cockpit Image Recorder SystemsTSO-C176a : 2013ETSO-C176 : 2010ED-112 amdt 2 : 2003Cockpit Voice Recorder Equipment (CVR)TSO-C123c : 2013ETSO-C123b : 2010ED-112 amdt 2 : 2003Circuit Card Assembly Functional Sensors usingSatellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) forNavigation and Non-Navigation Position/Velocity/TimeOutputTSO-C204 : 2013AC 21-46 v3.0OTHERAS5134A : 2001AS396B : 1958AS8036A : 2013DO-229D Change 1 :2013September 2014Page A2
