Approve avionics equipment installation in the


aircraft (ADS-B, Datalink, GPS including RNP AR,
Electronic Flight Bags or EFB, EFVS, etc.)
Approve Maintenance Program for equipment
Approve Pilot Training Program for use of the
equipment
Approve Manuals for use of the equipment
Approvals are mostly done through Operations

Head-Up Display
Provides primary flight,
navigation, and guidance
information to the pilot in a
forward field-of-view on a
head-up transparent screen.
Reduces flight technical
error.
Provides for a more
stabilized approach.
Eliminates head-down to
head-up transition time.
Eliminates out-the-window
accommodation time.

Performance-Based Cockpit Technology
in Low Visibility Operations

Enhances low visibility flight and ground operations.


Increases access, efficiency and throughput at many airports
when low visibility is a factor.

Reduces infrastructure necessary to support low visibility


operations.

Provides flight guidance on a HUD


Low Visibility Landing
Provides a real time display of the
outside world in low visibility conditions
through the use of imaging sensors
(forward looking infrared, millimeter
wave, low-light level intensifying, etc.)

HUD and EFVS are key enablers for


Equivalent Visual Operations.

HUD + Sensor Imagery = EFVS

ADS-B Description

Datalink technology that transmits precise position and other


aircraft or vehicle information once per second
US has Dual Link capability on 1090MHz (Mode S) and 978MHz (UAT)

Both links support broadcast of Traffic Information Service (TIS-B)


For situational awareness of surrounding aircraft/vehicles

UAT supports the broadcast of Flight Information Service (FIS-B)

Full implementation of ADS-B capabilities requires


Aircraft avionics equipage (datalink radio and/or display capability)
Ground stations supporting datalink to aircraft
Air Traffic Control (ATC) automation systems integration

ADS-B Concepts - Out

Out is the broadcast of own ship information via


Transponder on 1090Mhz, (required above 18,000 feet) or
Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) on 978Mhz (GA)
No special displays required
Rule is for ADS-B Out
After JAN 1, 2020 must have ADS-B Out
Rule defines airspace and performance
Infrastructure
Ground stations receive the broadcast signals for use by ATC
