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 announces plans to carry out a trial of real-time traffic displays for Air Traffic Services (ATS) at UK general aviation (GA) airfields. Real-time traffic displays based on ADS-B have the potential capability to enhance GA airfield ATS situational awareness and flight safety. The aim of the trial is to gather evidence to enable 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 […]
Project EVA is one of the SESAR cofunded projects, which are aimed at extensively demonstrating the benefits that SESAR solutions can bring to aviation in Europe. The main objective of Project EVA is to demonstrate a measurable improvement for the probability of a GA pilot visually acquiring proximate traffic when the electronic conspicuity is used […]
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 […]
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 FASVIG applauds the announcement by the LAA (previously reported here) to open up […]
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 […]
From Air Traffic Management.net Agreement has been reached at the World Radiocommunication Conference in Geneva on the allocation of radiofrequency spectrum for global flight tracking in civil aviation. The frequency band 1087.7-1092.3 MHz has been allocated to the aeronautical mobile-satellite service (Earth-to-space) for reception by space stations of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) emissions from 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 […]
