Overview • • What ADS-B is and isn’t Current Op. Spec Future Op. Specs Current Applications Future Applications Ops Approval Process International Harmonization • Part 129 Considerations OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 2

ADS-B vs ADS-C ADS-B : Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast • Surveillance application which transmits and receives such things as position, track G/S etc by data link at specific intervals • Data delivered air to air, ground to air and ground to ground • ADS-Broadcast (ADS-B) is an extended squitter message using a transponder protocol ADS-C : Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract • Communications Contract between the Operators & A/C and the controller • Data link info transmitted automatically from A/C to Controller – not Pilot • Part of Fans 1/A data link/ CPDLC equipage • Not Transponder based OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 3

Introduction to ADS-B • Automatic – Periodically transmits information with no pilot or operator input required • Dependent – Position and velocity vector are derived from the Global Positioning System (GPS) • Surveillance – A method of determining position of aircraft, vehicles, or other assets • Broadcast – Transmitted information available to anyone with the appropriate receiving equipment OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 4

Why ADS-B? Air-to-Air • Improved Separation Standards • Improved Low-Visibility Approaches • Enhanced See and Avoid • Enhanced Operations for En Route Air-to-Air Ground-to-Ground • Improved Navigation on Taxiways • Enhanced Controller Management of Surface Traffic OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Air-to-Ground • Surveillance Coverage in Radar / Non-Radar Airspace Ground-to-Air & Self-Contained • Weather and SSR Traffic to the Cockpit Federal Aviation Administration 5

ADS-B OUT NAS Ops Approval? • Not Required by the new Rule Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part § 91. 225, Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS B) OUT equipment and use § 91. 227, Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS B) OUT equipment performance requirements • No Specialized Training Requirements for Operators, aircrew or dispatchers • Necessary hardware must be installed by TC/STC • Crew cannot monitor output – either it is on or off (Will be notified by ATC most likely? ) OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 6

AC 90 -ADS-B (Spring 2011) Operational Approval is required only for certain ADS-B applications: 1. ADS-B OUT – 2. Canadian Controlled Airspace - NRA • ADS-B OUT – Off-shore Routes • ADS-B IN – In Trail Procedures - ITP • Numerous Future applications: Interval Management (IM), SURF, ATSA… …and many more in development OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 7

Inspector Guidance/Op. Spec Requirements? • Available information for the applicant if desired • Under construction and nearly ready-Spring 2011 • Vetted at Op. Spec Working Group (OSWG) - 2010 ADS-B OUT applications U. S. NAS – Presently no intent to require a formal authorization. More of a compliance requirement with Certification Standards and Continuing Airworthiness requirements like other avionic equipment. Non-Rule Airspace such as Gomex and possibly the WATRS area will require Op. Spec due to specific Operational advantages and reduced separation without radar (NRA) Canadian Controlled Airspace OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 8

Inspector Guidance/Op. Spec Requirements (con’t) ADS-B IN applications - Require future Ops approval • No rule in place to lay out the requirement for Operators • Applications will require specific training, aircraft equipment and ICA requirements • There will be operational benefit and thus additional requirements if Operator chooses to equip. • Voluntary but highly likely to derive operational/cost benefit • Meets expectation of “Best equipped, Best served” OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 9

Standards and Guidance • Advisory Circulars – One means of compliance – AC 20 -165 Airworthiness Approval of Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) Out Systems, 5/21/2010, as amended – AC 90 -ADSB Operational approval of ADS-B, Spring 2011 • Inspector Guidance – 8900. 1, Inspector Handbook – Developed in conjunction with AC 90 • AIM/AIP – General pilot information and guidance OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 10

Op. Spec/MSpec/LOA A 353 Authorization Approval Process • Certificate Holder / Operator completes application package and submits to local FAA field office • POI reviews application for compliance with regulatory requirements • Local FAA field office forwards application package to HQ through their Regional Office 220 Next. Gen Branch. • HQ evaluates package-if acceptable Concurrence Memo • HQ has quick turn around process • POI issues the Op. Spec OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 11

ADS-B IN - applications Active development In Trail Procedures (ITP) OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 21

Motivation for ADS-B ITP Desired Altitude FL 360 FL 350 Standard Separation FL 340 NEED Q CHALLENGE Altitude Changes Q required for better fuel economy, winds, and ride quality OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B = The combination of locally dense traffic and large separation minima limits altitude changes OPPORTUNITIES Q Use airborne ADS-B applications to enable altitude changes otherwise blocked by conventional operations Federal Aviation Administration 22

ADS-B ITP ADS-B In-Trail Procedures (ITP) - ADS-B enabled climbs and descents through altitudes where current non-ADS-B separation standards would prevent desirable altitude changes ADS-B Transceiver and Onboard Decision Support System ADS-B Out (required) No ADS-B capabilities required Desired Altitude FL 360 Standard Separation FL 350 ITP Separation Standard FL 340 ADS-B ITP Q ADS-B separation standard based on exchange of ADS-B data between the reference aircraft and the ITP aircraft Q Controller separates aircraft using information derived from cockpit sources and relayed by the flight crew to the controller Q No airborne monitoring during climb required OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 23

Developing Applications: Interval Management (IM) OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 24

What is Interval Management • Precise management of intervals between aircraft whose trajectories are common or merging • Two major components – Ground-based Interval Management (GIM) – Flight deck-based interval Management (FIM) • Two separation responsibility paradigms – Spacing (-S) – Delegated Separation (-DS) • FIM-S is the FAA’s CURRENT FOCAL POINTS OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 25

Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT) - under construction • Pre-flight check to determine if system can support performance requirements • Baseline NAC 8/NIC 7 can be met with TSO C 145/146 equipment in all Domains • When system will not meet performance of C 145/146 avionics, ATC will issue NOTAM to waive ADS-B requirement OR Alter route, alter departure time, request waiver (Refer to Draft A 353 8900. 1 guidance – Section 1 for detailed explanation of SAPT) OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 26

Future Applications OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 27

International Harmonization • International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) • Aeronautical Surveillance Panel (ASP) • Separation and Airspace Safety Panel (SASP) • Eurocontrol • CASCADE: ADS-B is main focus of CASCADE, standardization, trials and implementation activities are being funded, and it is the largest EUROCONTROL partner in terms of budget and staff • Requirements Focus Group (RFG) • Joint RTCA / EUROCAE Working Group • Recurring Coordination Meetings • Transport Canada • Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia • Eurocontrol / EASA OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 28

What Part 129 and DOT 375 AOC Certificate Holders need to know about ADS-B Operations? OSWG First Quarter 2011 – ADS-B Federal Aviation Administration 29

ICAO Annex 6, Part 1, number 3. 1. 2: "An operator shall ensure that all pilots are familiar with the laws, regulations, and procedures, pertinent to the performance of their duties, prescribed for the areas to be traversed, the aerodromes to be used, and the air navigation facilities relating thereto.
