FAA Gives Green Light to ADS-B Rollout The FAA gave the green light for full-scale, nationwide deployment of ADS-B following its successful roll-out at four key sites. The commissioning of the system means that air traffic controllers are now able to use the new technology to separate aircraft in areas with ADS-B coverage. Controller screens in those areas will show aircraft tracked by radar as well as aircraft equipped with ADS-B avionics, which broadcast their positions. The new system tracks aircraft with greater accuracy, integrity and reliability than the current radar-based system. September 24, 2010. Read More |

ADS-B - What you need to know BY 2020, aircraft owners flying in airspace requiring a Mode-C transponder will need to equip their aircraft with ADS-B Out. ADS-B stands for automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast. It is automatic because, unlike a transponder, it broadcasts continuously, not just when interrogated by radar or a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS). It is dependent, since it relies on GPS information. It provides the same surveillance function as radar, but does so by broadcasting its position. There are two ADS-B capabilities.

New Traffic and Flight Information Services Now Available in the New York Area Pilots who fly in the New York (ZNY) area can now receive free traffic and weather broadcast information in the cockpit. Flight Information Service - Broadcast (FIS-B) provides pilots and flight crews with a cockpit display of aviation weather and aeronautical information via Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) equipment on 978 MHz. Traffic Information Service - Broadcast (TIS-B) enhances a pilot's visual acquisition of other traffic. August 30, 2010. Read More |

NextGen: What it is and how it will impact maintenance NextGen's purpose: incorporate these advances to improve efficiency, safety, and increase tracking, while intensifying information sharing in the National Airspace System (NAS). ADS-B will facilitate the direct routing of aircraft, while optimizing countless departures and approaches. It assists in tracking aircraft more efficiently; this increases capacity, while saving time and fuel. NextGen is a proactive approach to increasing aviation safety.

GPS tracking to replace 70-year-old radar technology in planes Global Positioning Systems (GPS) may already guide millions of cars around the world, but airplanes are still guided by a 70-year-old radar technology. That is changing in the United States where engineering firm ITT is building out a GPS-based system as part of a larger "NextGen" system to vastly upgrade the country's air traffic control systems.
