ATR 42-300/-320 ADS-B Upgrade

In recent years most countries have issued mandates requiring aircraft to be equipped with ADS-B Out equipment in order to fly in most controlled airspace. By the end of 2024 almost all mandates will have entered into force. 

This mandate is particularly problematic for ATR 42-300/-320, these aircraft  are factory-equipped with ADCs without the capability to transmit digital data and they are therefore incompatible with ADS-B transponders.

ADS-B is a surveillance technology that expands ATC Mode S functionalities by transmitting periodically GNSS position together with aircraft specific information such as Flight ID, Aircraft category, etc. This information is received by ATC or other aircraft and can be used to enhance airspace usage and improve situational awareness.
