Upgrade of Honeywell Primus II System for ADS-B Out
Overview
Introduction
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) is a key component of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) – the transition from ground-based-radar air traffic control to an automated transmission of precise aircraft position based on Global Positioning System data.
Your needs
- United States – Everywhere a Mode C transponder is required
- Class A, B and C airspace
- Class E airspace above 10,000 feet but not below 2,500 feet
- Canada – There is no part of Canadian airspace that currently requires ADS-B capabilities, nor are there any known proposals to change this. Flights registered with NAV CANADA and properly equipped can receive a higher level of service in the Hudson Bay ADS-B coverage area, as well as areas in and around Southern Greenland.
- European Airspace – All existing aircraft weighing greater than 5,700 kg (12,500 lbs) or having max cruise speed greater than 250 kts TAS need ADS‑B 1090ES “Out” with diversity.
Your benefits
- Deadline awareness is increasing for aircraft operators
- Operators could face lengthy delays if they wait to the last minute
- Backlog crunch at installation facilities
- Possible component shortages
- Possibility of more expensive installation prices
Product Description
ADS-B Out is a new way for air traffic control to separate air traffic that doesn’t rely on radar - allows for tighter aircraft spacing and higher traffic capacity in congested airspace. GPS is a key component of ADS-B Out providing highly accurate and reliable position information. Aircraft flying in ADS-B Out airspace use GPS to determine its position and automatically transmit it - these position rep reports are significantly more accurate and update more quickly than radar.
