Automatic Dependent Surveillance \u2013 Broadcast (ADS-B) is fundamental to the foundation in the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). The FAA mandate is to install ADS-B Out equipment for aircraft flying in US airspace by January 1, 2020 (above 10,000 feet or in Class B or C airspace); however, aircraft operating in some countries’ airspace must already be compliant.<\/p>\n
A human factors evaluation of the ADS-B system has shown the technology can significantly improve pilot awareness.<\/p>\n
Human factors always are of some concern, even when equipment operates properly. One notable concern is that pilots using ADS-B cockpit displays, particularly in single-pilot operations, could become distracted to the degree that their see-and avoid activity is impaired. This is offset to some degree by the assistance they receive in having displayed traffic continuously available and updated.<\/p>\n
In nearly all cases, ADS-B applications are low risk. Some applications of ADS-B, including traffic information, improve the safety of the national airspace system, while others, like weather products, will enable operational improvements without degrading safety.<\/p>\n
In the medium risk areas is the possibility of using hazardously misleading information where ADS-B is used for self-separation, or where it could mislead the controller and produce an unsafe clearance. Standards, monitoring, or independent validation of broadcast data can control these risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
