Soon after the deadline was established and the necessary infrastructure was up and running, ADS-B In receivers hit the market, highlighting ADS-B's benefits.
Carrot, Meet Stick
Taking full advantage of TBO requires avionics: many aircraft already have ADS-B and performance-based navigation.
IFR IN 2025
"ADS-B is the designated, worldwide replacement for air traffic control surveillance RADAR," Nelson says.
Exporting business success from the 49th state: tips for trade in products, commodities, and services
The answer to why is the FAA equipment mandate, which requires that by 2020, all aircraft flying in certain airspace will be required to have ADS-B. The airspace conforms roughly to where Mode C is now required: Class A, B and C airspace or in any airspace above 10,000 feet MSL.
Buying ADS-B now: should you bother? Lots of owners are asking that very question. While there are benefits to buying mandate-ready ADS-B now, there may be more in waiting
A 2011 paper by an MIT graduate student on ADS-B's benefits for pilots included research using a year's (2005) worth of radar data The data included location and altitude in feet msl, and was plotted on a map of the U.S., shown at right, depicting the lowest altitude at which a radar target was tracked during 2005.
Mind The Gaps: No matter how well-equipped our cockpit is, ground-based radar's limitations means we may not see everything
After 2020, when the traffic picture is nearly full via ADS-B and closer to the ground, do you foresee MVAs being lowered in areas that have been limited primarily by poor radar coverage?
Can you see me now?
For this review, we wrung out three ADS-B portables, the iLevil from Levil Technology at $1195; the Stratus II from Sporty's/Appareo at $899 and, from newcomer Sagetech, the Clarity SV for $1400.
Combined ADS-B/EFIS: impressive performers: the Stratus II is the top value but Sagetech's Clarity SV leads in performance and features. But don't rely on any of them for real backup
They'll have all the other required ADS-B Out goodies, but their position source will be technology from the mid-1990s and won't be as accurate or reliable as WAAS GPS.
Rolling over
The whole ADS-B environment (ADS-B, FIS-B, TIS-B) is a Surveillance and Broadcast Services System (SBSS).
TIS-B: The ADS-B bridge: ADS-B is the FAA's vision of the future. It gives us weather and traffic information, but until we're all on the same page, something has to tie the disparate traffic systems together
You or a pilot you know may already be flying with ADS-B In, perhaps using a portable receiver, but that's a relatively easy and inexpensive option, at least as far as aviation is concerned.
Time to bite the bullet? As a new crop of ADS-B avionics hits the market, prices are coming down, and feature sets and choices are better than ever before. Is it time?
NextGen's centerpiece is ADS-B, or Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast.
Sorting out NextGen: even as the clock counts down, we can't get three experts to agree on where things stand. We did discover that ATC policy may dictate snubbing those craft without the latest avionics
Yes, transponders still will be necessary if owners opt to install only ADS-B OUT equipment meeting the 978 MHz UAT standard.
