2.1.2 TEMPORAL REFERENCE SYSTEM

Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC) and the Gregorian calendar are used by air navigation services and in publications issued by the Aeronautical Information Service. Reporting of time is expressed to the nearest minutes, e.g. 12:40:35 is reported as 1241. Local time is 8 hours ahead of UTC. Times checks to aircraft are accurate to within 30 seconds.

2.1.3 HORIZONTAL REFERENCE SYSTEM

2.1.3.1 Name/designation of system

All published geographical coordinates indicating latitude and longitude are expressed in terms of the World Geodetic System - 1984 (WGS-84) geodetic reference datum.

2.1.3.3 Ellipsoid

Ellipsoid is expressed in terms of the World Geodetic System - 1984 (WGS-84) ellipsoid.

2.1.3.4 Datum

The World Geodetic System - 1984 (WGS-84) is used.

2.1.3.5 Area of application

The area of application for the published geographical coordinates coincides with the area of responsibility of the Aeronautical Information Service, i.e. the entire territory of Republic of China as well as the airspace over the high seas encompassed by Taipei FIR in accordance with the regional air navigation agreement.

2.1.3.6 Use of an asterisk to identify published geographical coordinates

An Asterisk ( * ) will be used to identify those published geographical coordinates which have been transformed into WGS-84 coordinates but whose accuracy of original field work does not meet the accuracy requirements in Annex 11, Chapter 2 and Annex 14, Volumes I and II, Chapter 2.

2.1.4 VERTICAL REFERENCE SYSTEM

2.1.4.1 Name/designation of system

The vertical reference system corresponds to mean sea level (MSL).

2.1.4.2 Geoid model

The geoid model used is the Earth Gravitational Model 1996 - (EGM-96).

2.1.5 AIRCRAFT NATIONALITY AND REGISTRATION MARKS

The nationality mark for aircraft registered in the Republic of China is the letter B, followed by a hyphen and a registration mark consisting of 3 to 5 Arabic numbers, e.g., B-158, B-1822, B-3001, B-11101.
