Items:

    7A003 does not apply to `inertial measurement equipment or
systems' which are certified for use on ``civil aircraft'' by civil
aviation authorities of one or more Wassenaar Arrangement
Participating States, see Supplement No. 1 to part 743 of the EAR.
    Technical Notes:
    1. For the purposes of 7A003, 'inertial measurement equipment or
systems' incorporate accelerometers or gyroscopes to measure changes
in velocity and orientation in order to determine or maintain
heading or position without requiring an external reference once
aligned. 'Inertial measurement equipment or systems' include:
    Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRSs);
    Gyrocompasses;
    Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs);
    Inertial Navigation Systems (INSs);
    Inertial Reference Systems (IRSs);
    Inertial Reference Units (IRUs).
    2. For the purposes of 7A003, `positional aiding references'
independently provide position, and include:
    a. ``Satellite navigation system'';
    b.''Data-Based Referenced Navigation'' (``DBRN'').
    a. Designed for ``aircraft'', land vehicles or vessels,
providing position without the use of `positional aiding
references', and having any of the following ``accuracies''
subsequent to normal alignment:
    a.1. 0.8 nautical miles per hour (nm/hr) ``Circular Error
Probable'' (``CEP'') rate or less (better);
    a.2. 0.5% distanced travelled ``CEP'' or less (better); or
    a.3. Total drift of 1 nautical mile ``CEP'' or less (better) in
a 24 hr period;
    Technical Note: For the purposes of 7A003.a.1, 7A003.a.2 and
7A003.a.3, the performance parameters typically apply to `inertia
measurement equipment or systems' designed for ``aircraft'',
vehicles and vessels, respectively. These parameters result from the
utilization of specialized non-`positional aiding references' (e.g.,
altimeter, odometer, velocity log). As a consequence, the specified
performance values cannot be readily converted between these
parameters. Equipment designed for multiple platforms are evaluated
against each applicable entry 7A003.a.1, 7A003.a.2, or 7A003.a.3.
    b. Designed for ``aircraft'', land vehicles or vessels, with an
embedded `positional aiding reference' and providing position after
loss of all `positional aiding references' for a period of up to 4
minutes, having an ``accuracy'' of less (better) than 10 meters
``CEP'';
    Technical Note: For the purposes of 7A003.b, this entry refers
to systems in which `inertial measurement equipment or systems' and
other independent `positional aiding references' are built into a
single unit (i.e., embedded) in order to achieve improved
performance.
    c. Designed for ``aircraft'', land vehicles or vessels,
providing heading or True North determination and having any of the
following:
    c.1. A maximum operating angular rate less (lower) than 500 deg/
s and a heading ``accuracy'' without the use of `positional aiding

    c.2. A maximum operating angular rate equal to or greater
(higher) than 500 deg/s and a heading ``accuracy'' without the use
of `positional aiding references' equal to or less (better) than 0.2
deg sec (Lat) (equivalent to 17 arc minutes rms at 45 degrees
latitude);
    d. Providing acceleration measurements or angular rate

responsible for level II maintenance). At the maintenance workshop,
the malfunctioning LRU is tested by various appropriate means to
verify and localize the defective Shop Replaceable Assembly (SRA)
