ADS-B Flashcards
(31 cards)
What is NextGen? (Definition)
Next Generation Air Transportation System
Why NextGen?
Radar surveillance is less precise and limited by geographic barriers and blind spots at lower altitude.
TIS-B
Traffic Information Service Broadcast
FIS-B
Flight Information Service-Broadcast
ADS-B is superior to ground-based air traffic surveillance systems because ______________ .
Air traffic data can be shared with all participating aircraft, are less expensive to deploy, and supports tracking in harsh and remote regions.
What are the two ADS-B frequencies?
1090ES MHz and 978 MHZ
If you are conducting flight operations above FL180, you are required to have ADS-B Out that transmits on ___________.
1090 MHz (1090ES)
The 978 MHz Channel (UAT) _______________.
receives FIS-B (weather) data
What is the minimum equipment required for ADS-Out capability?
WAAS-enabled GPS, ADS-B compatible Mode C or S transponder
What does ADS-B In require?
ADS-B Out, ADS-B In is not currently required.
ADS-B Out is the ______________ part of ADS-B. It’s an “Outbound information” flow.
broadcast
What is Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B)?
A ground-based service for some ADS-B In equipped aircraft to receive weather text, weather graphics, and aeronautical information.
What is Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B)?
A ground-based, radar-derived service that allows aircraft to see other aircraft.
FIS-B only includes NOTAMs from what time period?
The preceding 30 days.
What does it mean if an aircraft is “dual link ADS-B” capable?
It can receive and transmit on both 1090MHz and 978MHz.
RVSM
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum
***Operators in the U.S. may verify their RVSM capability by using the ADS-B Based Height Monitoring System. This is accomplished by submitting an ADS-B Height Monitoring Request form and then flying ________________.
Any day
***To be eligible for the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program, aircraft must be ______________.
US registered, 1090 MHz ADS-B equipped, using a third-party call sign and flying in domestic US airspace.
ADS-B is required in what airspace?
1) Class A, B, and C
2) Class E above 10,000 MSL
Among other areas
ADS-B Out requirements don’t apply to what aircraft?
An aircraft that was not originally certified with an electrical system.
***Within the CONUS, ADS-B is required in Class A, Class B, Class C, __________.
and Class E airspace at or above 10,000 feet MSL.
What are the two types of ADS-B systems?
1) Mode S transponder with Extended Squitter (1090ES)
2) Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) that operates on 978 MHz
Which type of ADS-B do you need for aircraft operating at and above FL180?
1090ES
When must you submit a request to fly without and ADS-B?
No more than 24 hours before flight, no less than 1 hour before the flight.
