ADS-B Out
Overview
Introduction
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast or ADS-B Out as it is known, is a new Air Traffic Control technique for aircraft in both Non-Radar and Radar Airspace. Guiding aircraft to their destination in a safer more efficient way.
ADS-B is a means by which aircraft, aerodrome vehicles and other objects can automatically transmit and receive data. Identifying themselves and their position via a data-link. This user friendly broadcast mode keeps communication lines open, informing people on the ground and in the air of real time developments. ADS-B out is the first step and will only send data from the aircraft.
Non-reliant on external input the ADS-B Out is automatic, depending solely on existing on-board transmission services to provide surveillance information to other users.

The Mandates:
ADS-B will gradually be mandated globally; Australia in 2013, followed by North America (January 2020) and Europe (June 2020). It is already mandatory in airspace above the Hudson Bay area with very positive results. All dates are applicable to retrofits.
Your benefits
- Surveillance data provided directly from on-board systems.
- Improved safety.
- Increased capacity.
- Preferred routes.
- Shorter routes in areas.
- More efficient flight profiles (in areas where, previously, surveillance was not cost-effective).
- Fuel savings etc.
- Environmental sustainability (CO² reduction).
- Reduced RF pollution (leading to an increased viability of the 1090 MHz datalink).
- Global Interoperability.
- Space based ADS-B (Tracking).
- Foundation for future SESAR and NextGen ATC applications (spacing, separation, self-separation).
- requirement for ADS-B IN.
- Less ATC fees.
Product Description
Technical concept
- A customised Engineering Bulletin with the embodiment instructions.
- The relevant aircraft operational (AFM, AOM / FCOM) and maintenance manual (AMM, AIPC, WDM) by means of supplements.
- The hardware (or upgrades) related to Transponders, stand-alone GNSS Sensor, Wiring and Flight Deck indications if applicable.
- Optional on-site assistance.
Required Modification
- A capable ATC Mode S Transponder transmitting Extended Squitters on 1090MHz (1090ES).
- A Global Navigation Satellite Sensor (GNSS) (if the existing FMS or MMR cannot be used).
- To be ELS/EHS capable.
- Wiring interfaces between the GNSS unit (or MMR/FMS) and the ATC Mode S Transponder.
- Flight Deck Indications (if applicable).
