Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast Automatic properly equipped aircraft automatically report their position Dependent ADS-B is dependent on aircraft having the proper transmitter Surveillance this technology allows air traffic controllers to see the aircraft as they move in the sky Broadcast aircraft broadcast their position to air traffic control and other ADS-B equipped aircraft 6
Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast Radar Surveillance Satellite-Based Surveillance Precision position updates Cockpit traffic and weather Safer flights Improved separation Oceanic altitude changes Ground infrastructure in place nationwide (March 2014) Satellite-based surveillance 7
Why is ADS-B better than Radar? More accurate data as it uses GPS for position More frequent data Updates every second Better coverage on a per site basis Particularly in areas of mountainous terrain Easier siting considerations A typical ADS-B radio station can be as small as a minirefrigerator, requiring as little as 20 square feet, including the fence around it. Easier to install means more units Thereby reducing lapses in radar coverage Less maintenance Therefore less cost to operate 8

Benefits Summary AIR TRANSPORT Increased safety on the surface by controllers More efficient spacing on approach in VMC Continuation of Visual Approaches in marginal conditions Increased ability to allow continuous descent approaches Increased safety on the surface by pilots High altitude - Increased capacity Increased capacity GENERAL AVIATION Fewer aircraft to aircraft conflicts Fewer encounters with hazardous weather More efficient routes in adverse weather Reduction in user costs to obtain weather info Fewer aircraft to terrain conflicts Fewer aviation accidents Access to lower altitude routes Improved search and rescue services Increase access to remote villages Increased medevac access to remote areas 13
ADS-B Ground Infrastructure 14
Aircraft ADS-B Equipage Rule Mandatory by Jan 1, 2020 FAA published the Final Rule On May 27, 2010 for ADS-B Out equipage. This rule mandates performance requirements for ADS-B avionics that will be required to fly in certain airspace ADS-B Out transmits location information received from the Global Navigation Satellite System out of the aircraft to ADS-B ground stations and to other aircraft equipped to receive ADS-B broadcasts. The rule does not preclude other navigation source methods. This rule does not mandate ADS-B In 15
ADS-B Link Options ADS-B in the U.S. NAS operates on two frequencies (links): 1090 MHz 978 MHz Equipment choices are: 1090 Extended Squitter (ES) transponder Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) operating on 978 MHz Which equipment is best depends on: Regulation Current equipment Personal preference 16

Equip 2020 FAA Leadership hosted over 80 industry representatives at an ADS-B Call to Action meeting on 28-Oct-2014 to identify and address barriers to equipping with ADS-B Out by January 1, 2020 Participants identified a number of barriers to on-time rule compliance Corresponding actions were developed in working sessions 32 actions were identified, to be further worked by industry/faa under an initiative called Equip 2020 and hosted by the NextGen Institute Equip 2020 meetings will occur approximately monthly and consist of an initial Plenary, Working Group meetings, and report out Plenary all within a single day 22
Equip 2020 Working Groups Air Carrier Equipage: This working group will coordinate and monitor the equipage of ADS-B Out in the Part 121 and 135 community, tackling issues relevant to availability of equipment and its installation. Leads: Paul Railsback (Airlines For America), Bruce DeCleene (FAA AFS-400), Brian Will (American), and Larry Hills (FedEx) General Aviation Equipage: This working group will coordinate and monitor the equipage of ADS-B Out in the General Aviation community, tackling issues relevant to availability of equipment and its installation. Leads: Jens Hennig (GAMA), Roger Sultan (FAA AFS-430) and Jim Viola (FAA AFS-800). Education and Benefits: This working group will coordinate education and outreach to the community concerning ADS-B Out requirements and benefits. The group may also identify additional benefits that could be implemented for equipped aircraft.
