OR
S if the prescribed COM/NAV/Approach aid equipment for the route to be flown is carried and is serviceable;
AND/OR
D DME;
F ADF;
G GNSS;

R RNP type certification;
T TACAN;
U UHF RTF;
V VHF RTF;
W RVSM certified;
X MNPS certified;
Y Radio with 8.33 kHz spacing;
Z Other equipment carried.
Notes:
The definition of “prescribed equipment” allowing the use of the letter “S” (“standard”) is the carriage of the equipment represented by the letters “V”, “F”, “O” and “L”.
