The CAA confirms ADS-B inout using 1090 MHz is its preferred national system to improve electronic conspicuity. The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) today confirmed that ADS-B ‘in/out’ using 1090 MHz is its preferred national system to improve electronic conspicuity for general aviation, ideally used through transponders. The CAA is already working with the GA […]
FASVIG attends the CAA’s Conspicuity Working Group to represent the interests of the VFR flying community. As part of this effort, and focussing specifically on shorter term ‘Quick Win’ objectives, back in January 2017 FASVIG presented a paper to the CAA documenting some of the challenges facing this community in adopting ADS-B together with recommendations […]

The Light Aircraft Association (LAA) has published new MOD 7 and MOD 14 forms for use when seeking approval for the connection of a non-certified GPS to a Mode S ES transponder to enable ADS-B Out in LAA Permit-to-Fly aircraft. The new approval process permits the use of PilotAware as a mechanism for verifying the […]
Another step forward has been announced today in reducing the cost to GA of implementing ADS-B. FASVIG support the voluntary adoption of ADS-B by GA. ADS-B offers great potential for improved traffic situational awareness and flight safety. We want to make installing ADS-B as quick, simple and low cost as possible to ensure that adopting […]
Air Avionics have provided a document covering the connection of uncertified GPS devices to their VT-01, VT-02 and VT-2000 transponders to enable ADS-B Out, which can be accessed here: VT Mode-S Transponders – Using ADS-B Out FASVIG is highly supportive of initiatives to increase the voluntary adoption of ADS-B in General Aviation and is working to help make the implementation of […]
FASVIG is highly supportive of initiatives to increase the voluntary adoption of ADS-B in General Aviation and is working to help make the implementation of ADS-B Out as quick, simple and cost effective for users as possible. See FASVIP VEE.5 ADS-B Out Implementation One of the challenges for GA pilots is understanding which transponder makes […]

For those wanting to check whether their Mode S ES transponder ADS-B Out configuration is setup correctly the latest version of PilotAware software provides a handy new tool. The 20151114 release of PilotAware will gather and display some of the more technical elements of ADS-B messages. This will be of particular interest to those going through the Light Aircraft […]
This chart, kindly provided by NATS, shows the coverage area of the UK by NATS ADS-B ground receivers for ADS-B Out equipped aircraft flying at 3000ft. The chart is correct as at 30th October 2015. The colours indicate how many ground receiver sites (from one to six) cover the area, according to the legend on […]
