Executive Summary ADS-B is a new generation surveillance technology, primarily supported by extended squitter data exchanged between transponders and ground receivers. ADS-B Out is the capability to transmit ADS-B messages. The ADS-B Out signals travel on a line-of-sight from transmitter to receiver. NAV CANADA has initiated priority handling based on ADS-B equipage. Some airspaces in the South East of Asia mandate ADS-B Out above a certain Flight Level. In the European and US airspaces, ADS-B Out will become mandatory in 2020.

INFORMATION

I. What? ADS-B is a next generation surveillance technology that supports radar-like separation standards, relying on satellite positioning, aircraft avionics and ground infrastructure to relay a range of aircraft parameters such as identification, position and altitude:

- Automatic, since no external stimulus is required for operation, and… - Dependent, since it relies on aircraft avionics to provide… - Surveillance through… - Broadcast messages, as these messages are not addressed to any specific receiver.

ADS-B is primarily supported by extended squitter data coming from transponders and received by ground receivers, and is transmitted by ADS-B-equipped aircraft within their line of sight.

These ADS-B ground receivers are connected to major ATC networks, offering ATC controllers a much more accurate and timely traffic positioning than standard ATC radars.

Some ATC regions are progressively taking benefit of this improved surveillance information, reducing separation minima for ADS-B equipped aircraft and within range of the ADS-B receivers. This reduced separation allows:

- more aircraft on the most efficient routes - optimized climbs or descends through populated routes.

ADS-B consists of two functions: ADS-B “OUT” and ADS-B “IN”.

- ADS-B OUT is the capability to transmit ADS-B messages. The ADS-B Out signals travel line-of-sight from transmitter to receiver.

- ADS-B IN is the ability to receive and display ADS-B messages and broadcast services, both from the ground and directly from other aircraft.

There are no regulatory proposals requiring the use of ADS-B IN for the time being, however compliance with RTCA/DO-260B is preferred for future ADS-B IN applications.

The present document only deals with ADS-B OUT.

II. Who is capable?

Falcon aircraft equipped with EASy

ADS-B Out can be installed as an option with EASy II by implementing the following modifications or Service Bulletins.

ADS-B Installation

F900 EX M-OPT 081 or, M-OPT 181

SB F900EX-402

F2000 EX M3301 SB F2000EX-302

F7X M-OPT 637 SB F7X-302

The ADS-B OUT functionality is implemented in the Mode S transponder. ADS-B On/Off function is independent from TCAS function. Dassault Aviation recommends transmitting ADS-B signals at all times, even on ground, by selecting “ADS-B Out: ON” as soon as the transponder or TCAS is in an operating mode (ie either Alt Off, Alt On, TA Only, or TA/RA).

The AFM refer to EASA AMC 20-24 or US performance requirements CFR 14 - FAR 91.227.

III. Where is ADS-B OUT implemented?

CANADA

All aircraft using ADS-B can benefit surveillance separation services into the Canadian ADS-B area. Compliance with EASA AMC 20-24 or FAA 14 CFR § 91.227 requirements is acceptable.

It is no longer needed to register or to obtain operational approval for ADS-B use in Canada.

Hudson Bay

When operating through the Hudson Bay area, non-equipped ADS-B aircraft will be required to file flight plans on published route structures.

On the other hand, ADS-B eligible aircraft may be assigned priority handling over flexible Routes

Gander Oceanic

As of February 2012, ADS-B service over southern Greenland has been used primarily to permit identified aircraft to climb or descend though the flight level of other ADS-B equipped aircraft with a reduced in-trail separation.

NAV CANADA considers expanding this ADS-B based service to lower Flight Levels and beyond the Hudson Bay domestic area.

IV. ADS-B OUT operations - How?

Flight Planning

Falcon operators must indicate that the mode S EHS (EnHanced Surveillance) transponder includes the “Extended Squitter” data containing the ADS-B message by inserting the letter “L” in item 10b of the ICAO Flight Plan (or letter “E” for mode S transponders without EHS capability).

All Falcon operators indicating eligibility to receive ADS-B service shall file “B1”, in Item 10b of the ICAO flight plan.

How to get approval

As previously indicated, in most cases, the operator must have the operational approval provided by their State of Registry to benefit from ADS-B operations.

Regarding the content of the application package, each National Aviation Authority may establish its own requirements.

The FAA has simplified the application process with the release of FAA AC90-114A. The requirements within the appendix 1 of this Advisory Circular (AC) are the most relevant.

Therefore, in order to support the FAA or Foreign Operators in the approval process, Dassault Aviation provides, hereafter, a guidance material to AC90-114A Appendix 1 applicable to Falcon EASy II aircraft with ADS-B Out.

The Operators currently approved are not required to start a new application process.

In order to help the Operators, FAA has published an application Checklist available on its website:

http://www.faa.gov/nextgen/programs/adsb/

A153 Application Checklist

Participating flightcrew members must complete the certificate holder’s approved ADS-B training program prior to conducting operations in ADS-B airspaces.

The use of the ADS-B communication functions of EASy II avionics are already part of the type rating or the EASy I to II difference training, available from Dassault Approved Training Providers CAE and Flight Safety.

Step 1: Initial Request for Authorization

Dassault recommendations:

First, The Operators have to contact their respective National Aviation Authority (NAA) to begin the ADS-B Out application process.

The NAA will provide the list of requirements and documents to submit for the ADS-B Out operational approval.

Note that FAA provides the Operators with the “A153 Application Checklist” to ease the application process. The Operator just has to complete the forms, attach the requested documents, and then to send the application file to the Principal Inspector.
