Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B)
ADS-B improves situational awareness and ight safety by providing
real time trafc information. The ADS-B In function is used to
receive ground station supported TIS-B and ADS-R trafc, and
direct communication with nearby like equipped aircraft (with Mode
S or UAT). The ADS-B Out (1090ES) function is used to periodically
broadcast (without interrogation) information about the aircraft that
includes aircraft identication, position, altitude, velocity and other
aircraft status information.
• ADS-B does NOT relieve the pilot of responsibility to “see-and-
avoid” other aircraft.
• No avoidance maneuvers are provided for, nor authorized, as a
direct result of a ADS-B other aircraft being displayed in the cockpit.
Avoidance maneuvers must be based on visually acquiring the
target
• The trafc display shows the relative position of ADS-B or standard
trafc using text, shapes, and colors. ADS-B also provides similar
information on ADS-B equipped ground vehicles.
• The effective surveillance range is 60 nmi (ADS-B In) The passive-
mode surveillance range is 160 nmi and maintains report messages
for a minimum of 200 1090ES ADS-B participants and 300 UAT
ADS-B participants simultaneously. To reduce display clutter a set
number of other aircraft of the highest priority other aircraft are
displayed at a time.
