Q

What is ADS-C? (3)

A

Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Contract

Contracts (agreements) being established between the ground system and the aircraft’s avionics via datalink

“C” - Ground system provides the aircraft with a list of reports to send and specifies when they are required to be sent
