In 2009 the ICAO published an "extended" form of Mode S with more message formats to use with ADS-B; [11] it was further refined in 2012. [12] Countries implementing ADS-B can require the use of either the extended squitter mode of a suitably-equipped Mode S transponder, or the UAT transponder on 978 MHz.
Non-discrete mode A code reserved use in mode S radar/ADS-B environment where the aircraft identification will be used to correlate the flight plan instead of the mode A code. [1] US: Used exclusively by ADS-B aircraft to inhibit mode 3A transmission. [3] US: Non-discrete code assignments in accordance with FAA Order JO 7110.65, 5-2.
[76] [77] Moving from the current system of ADS-B ground stations to radios hosted on satellites offers the potential for reduced separation standards. [78] [79] [80] The FAA started using ADS-B for a 3-nautical-mile (nm) separation standard reduced from 5 nm in 2020 in some of the en route airspace below 23,000 feet. [81]
An additional requirement for the transponder to have ADS-B Out became effective January 1, 2020. [ 2 ] As of August 2017 [update] , all 37 Class B airports in the United States [ 3 ] have Mode C veils centered on them. [ 4 ]
The FAA's airworthiness directive impacts 158 U.S.-registered airplanes and 737 airplanes worldwide and requires airlines to inspect the captain’s and first officer’s seats on 787-7, 787-9 ...
The FAA issues ADs by three different processes: [5] Standard AD process: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), followed by a Final Rule; Final Rule and Request for Comments; Emergency airworthiness directives – issued without time for comment. This is only used issued "when an unsafe condition exists that requires immediate action by an ...
