ADS-B Flashcards
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.
