Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast (ADS-B) is the replacement and augmentation of RADAR-based aircraft surveillance technology. With ADS-B, the surveillance of aircraft does no longer rely on RADAR ground stations, but on aircraft based GPS receivers. Aircraft equipped with ADS-B broadcast their precise position and velocity data, as well as altitude and supportive information automatically and with no pilot or external input to ATC or to other aircraft.
The above listed EASA STC has been validated or approved by the following aviation authority agencies:
FAA (ST04266NY, Date of issue: 2018/11/06)
ANAC (2019S08-17, Date of issue: 2019/08/08)
As ADS-B becomes mandatory in nearly all airspaces worldwide from 2020 onwards, the time has come to get your fleet prepared in order to be still eligible entering your desired airspace without restrictions.
Still, thousands of aircraft need to be modified with ADS-B. As the deadline approaches and the capacity is limited, act now and reserve your slot. Do not risk an expensive downtime of your aircraft.
Closer aircraft spacing in IFR environment
Enhanced use of optimal flight levels and routes
Improved capacity of congested airspace
Direct routings through ADS-B only airspaces
Provision of ATC services in remote areas
Will keep air navigation service fees moderate as well as reduce fuel costs
Significant increase of Safety
Environmental sustainability by reduction of CO2 emission
Lufthansa Technik offers you a complete and sophisticated solution tailored to your needs.
This change activates ADS-B Out in accordance with RTCA DO-260B. Simultaneously the changed Elementary- and Enhanced Surveillance requirements are implemented in order to fulfill the FAA and EASA mandates.
The existing Mode S Elementary Surveillance (ELS) and Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) ATC Transponder System is upgraded by replacement of the existing ATC Transponders.
A separate ADS-B failure annunciation will be activated depending on your Aircraft Type.
Additionally, the required pin programming and the activation of the existing wire provisions is performed.
Furthermore, Lufthansa Technik provides you with all necessary equipment, tools as well as services like certification, project management, logistics and worldwide mobile installation services, as for example in three independent night shifts.
