ADS-B FAQs

  • ADS-B Out refers to an aircraft broadcasting its position and other information. ADS-B In refers to an aircraft receiving the broadcasts and messages from the ground network such as TIS-B and FIS-B. ADS-B In is not mandated by the ADS-B Out rule. If an operator chooses to voluntarily equip an aircraft with ADS-B In avionics, a compatible display is also necessary to see the information. Refer to AC 20-165B for information on ADS-B OUT and AC 20-172B on ADS-B IN installation and certification.

  • If you want to operate in ADS-B designated airspace after January 1, 2020, Yes.

    Under the rule, ADS-B Out performance will be required to operate in:

    1. Class A, B, and C airspace.
    2. Class E airspace within the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia at and above 10,000 feet MSL, excluding the airspace at and below 2,500 feet above the surface.
    3. Class E airspace at and above 3,000 feet MSL over the Gulf of Mexico from the coastline of the United States out to 12 nautical miles.
    4. Around those airports identified in 14 CFR part 91, Appendix D.

    The ADS-B Out rule does not apply in the airspace defined in items 2 and 4 above for any aircraft not originally certificated with an electrical system or that has not subsequently been certified with such a system installed, including balloons and gliders. For additional requirements for using the exception for item 4, please refer to CFR 91.225 section (d) for the requirements.

  • ADS-B In pilot cockpit advisory services consist of Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) and Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B). These are free services transmitted automatically to aircraft equipped to receive ADS-B In.

    FIS-B provides a broad range of textual/graphical weather products and other flight information to the general aviation community. FIS-B is only available on the 978MHz Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) equipment. FIS-B includes the following:

    • Aviation Routine Weather Reports (METARs)
    • Non-Routine Aviation Weather Reports (SPECIs)
    • Terminal Area Forecasts (TAFs) and their amendments
    • NEXRAD (regional and CONUS) precipitation maps
    • Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Distant and Flight Data Center
    • Airmen’s Meteorological Conditions (AIRMET)
    • Significant Meteorological Conditions (SIGMET) and Convective SIGMET
    • Status of Special Use Airspace (SUA)
    • Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs)
    • Winds and Temperatures Aloft
    • Pilot Reports (PIREPS)

    TIS-B is an advisory-only service available to both 1090ES and UAT equipment users. TIS-B increases pilots’ situational awareness by providing traffic information on all transponder-based aircraft within the vicinity of the ADS-B In equipped aircraft receiving the data.
