For those operators for whom approval is granted under EU OPS 1, the following events
should be the subject of Occurrence Reports (see EUOPS
1.420):
Technical defects and the exceeding of technical limitations, including:
a) Significant navigation errors attributed to incorrect data or a data base coding error.
b) Unexpected deviations in lateral/vertical flight path not caused by pilot input or
erroneous operation of equipment.
c) Significant misleading information without a failure warning.
d) Total loss or multiple navigation equipment failure.
e) Loss of integrity (e.g. RAIM) function whereas integrity was predicted to be available
during the preflight
planning.
