ADS-B Out signal is used for surveillance purposes on the ground or onboard other aircraft in order to facilitate airborne traffic. 

ADS-B, standing for “Automatic Dependant Surveillance – Broadcast”, is the replacement and augmentation of radar-based aircraft surveillance systems. With ADS-B, the surveillance of aircraft does no longer rely on radar ground stations, but on airborne GPS receivers. Aircraft equipped with ADS-B broadcast their precise position and velocity data, as well as altitude and supportive information automatically, without pilot input, to ATC on ground (ADS-B Out) or to other aircraft (ADS-B In).

The main topics of this modification are:

• Upgrade of the transponders to DO-260B

• Upgrade of the GPS position source

• Addition of an ADS-B fail indication in the flight deck.

PMV Engineering certifies both stand-alone annunciator as the ATC/TCAS control panel upgrade for ADS-B Fail indication and helps you to become compliant with the Implementing Rule.
