TSO/ETSO Deviation
TSO-C118
1. Garmin was granted a deviation from TSO-C118 section a.(2) to use RTCA DO-160E, instead of
RTCA DO-160B as the standard for Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne
Equipment.
1. Garmin was granted a deviation from RTCA DO-197A section 2.2.3.2.1 to use the Interrogations
Spectrum requirement of RTCA DO-185A section 2.2.3.3 instead of the requirement of RTCA DO-
197A section 2.2.3.2.1.
2. Garmin was granted a deviation from RTCA DO-197A section 2.2.3.5 to use the “Mode C Only
All-Call” format specified by RTCA DO-185A section 2.2.3.8.1 instead of the “Mode C” format for
ATCRBS interrogations.
3. Garmin was granted a deviation from RTCA DO-197A section 2.2.6 to use selective Mode S
