PracMce Approaches at Selfridge To date, we smll fall under the policy established post 9/11. Non- military aircraw are not authorized to overfly the airfield/runway. This includes VFR over flights and pracmce approaches.
Digital Airport Surveillance Radar (DASR) The Digital Airport Surveillance Radar (DASR) is a new terminal air traffic control radar system that replaces current analog systems with new digital technology. The DASR system detects aircraw posimon and weather condimons in the vicinity of civilian and military airfields. The older radars, some up to 20 years old(ours is 30+), are being replaced to improve reliability, provide addimonal weather data, reduce maintenance cost, improve performance, and provide digital data to new digital automamon systems for presentamon on air traffic controller displays.
Standard Terminal AutomaMon Replacement System (STARS) STARS will be used by controllers to provide air traffic control services to aircraw in terminal areas. FuncMons include aircraw separamon, weather advisories, and lower level control of air traffic. The system is designed to accommodate air traffic growth and the introducmon of new automamon funcmons which will improve the safety and efficiency of the US NaMonal Airspace System (NAS) as the legacy systems are replaced.
Next GeneraMon Air TransportaMon System (NEXTGEN) The Next Genera2on Air Transporta2on System (NextGen) is the name given to a new NaMonal Airspace System due for implementamon across the United States in stages between 2012 and 2025. NextGen proposes to transform America s air traffic control system from an aging ground- based system to a satellite- based GPS technology system. This system will be used to shorten routes, save Mme and fuel, reduce traffic delays, increase capacity, and permit controllers to monitor and manage aircraw with greater safety margins. To implement this the FAA will undertake a wide- ranging transformamon of the enmre US air transportamon system. This transformamon has the aim of reducing gridlock, both in the sky and at the airports.

What Is ADS-B? ADS-B is radically new technology that is redefining the paradigm of COMMUNICATIONS - NAVIGATION - SURVEILLANCE in Air Traffic Management today. Already proven and certified as a viable low cost replacement for conventional radar, ADS-B allows pilots and air traffic controllers to "see" and control aircraft with more precision, and over a far larger percentage of the earth's surface, than has ever been possible before. Automatic - It's always ON and requires no operator intervention Dependent - It depends on an accurate GNSS signal for position data Surveillance - It provides "Radar-like" surveillance services, much like RADAR Broadcast - It continuously broadcasts aircraft position and other data to any aircraft, or ground station equipped to receive ADS-B
How Does It Work? Far different from radar, which works by bouncing radio waves from fixed terrestrial antennas off of airborne targets and then interpreting the reflected signals, ADS-B uses conventional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology and a relatively simple broadcast communications link as its fundamental components. Also, unlike radar, ADS-B accuracy does not seriously degrade with range, atmospheric conditions, or target altitude and update intervals do not depend on the rotational speed or reliability of mechanical antennas. In a typical applications, the ADS-B capable aircraft uses an ordinary GNSS (GPS, Galileo, etc) receiver to derive its precise position from the GNSS constellation, then combines that position with any number of aircraft discretes, such as speed, heading, altitude and flight number. This information is then simultaneously broadcast to other ADS-B capable aircraft and to ADS-B ground, or satellite communications transceivers which then relay the aircraft's position and additional information to Air Traffic Control centers in real time. The 978 MHz Universal Access Transceiver ("UAT") variant is also bidirectional and capable of sending real-time Flight Information Services ("FIS-B"), such as weather and other data to aircraft. In some areas, conventional non-ads-b radar traffic information ("TIS- B"), can also be uplinked as well.
ADS-B will someday replace most of the World's Surface Surveillance Radars (SSR's) for routine Air Traffic Control functions...
