What is ADS-B?
7
What does ADS-B Provide?• Decrease dependence on radar, fill in gaps of radar
– FAA says $950M/year will be reduced by 2/3 as radars are turned off• Opinion –skin paint radar is likely to remain at a minimum
• Broadcast of precise aircraft position and performance data to ATC and to other aircraft
• Improved ATC speed, efficiency and spacing• Provide free weather and traffic information to pilots• Pilot sees what the controller sees
8
What is ADS-B?• ADS-B-Out is required, ADS-B-In is optional
– ADS-B-Out provides position and performance information to the ATC system and to other ADS-B participants. Meets the mandate
– ADS-B-In provides traffic (*see later slide) and weather information to pilots.
• Two frequencies– 1090 MHz - (Extended Squinter) 1090ES
• Transponder frequency – TSO C166b
– 978 MHz (Universal Access Transceiver) UAT• TSO C154c
• Why two frequencies?– 1090 mode-S already in use by air carriers but bandwidth is limited
• Would not support the anticipated 2-3X data increase in aircraft volume.
– 978 offers more bandwidth for TIS-B (Traffic Information Services - Broadcast) and FIS-B (Flight Information Services - Broadcast - weather, notams, etc.)

Where is ADS-B-Out required?14CFR 91.255
• ADS-B-Out is required in and above the following airspace– Class A– Class B mode C vail and above
• Non-electrical system – OK to fly below Class B and mode C veil 91.225(e)
– Class C and above– Class E above 10,000’ but not below 2,500’ AGL at higher elevations– Class E above 3,000’ over the Gulf of Mexico within 12 nm of shore
• Altitude limits– Above FL180 – 1090ES is mandatory– Below FL180, may use either 978 UAT or 1090ES, your choice– Like a transponder, ADS-B-Out equipment must be turned on
• International flight – 1090ES mandatory in countries requiring ADS-B
• ADS-B-Out is NOT required:– For aircraft without an electrical system– In class D, E (parts not listed above), G airspace

When is ADS-B-Out required?
• ADS-B-Out is required after 12/31/2019• Will the date slip?
– FAA has said they have given the public 10 years to comply. No, the date will not slip, says the FAA.
– Airlines requested an extension for 6,000 airliners with non-WAAS• The airlines may or may not garner an extension because of their political power• Pundits say even if airlines get relief, GA won’t
– Opinion: • ADS-B reduces the cost of ATC to the federal government, transferring cost to users.
– The government is motivated to maintain the date.
• A similar thing happened as the FAA migrated from expensive ground based instrument approaches ($1M+ per ILS) and relatively inexpensive cockpit equipment (few $K) to inexpensive GPS RNAV approaches ($50K each) that require expensive IFR certified GPSs (~$10K and up). (note: RNAV IAPs now outnumber ILS approaches.) The cost of IAP equipment was transferred from FAA ground based equipment to the aircraft owner’s cockpit. The same appears to be happening for aircraft separation.
30
Why equip sooner than later?• Shop appointments will become constrained
– After the deadline, some will become grounded or limited to non-ADS-B airspace
– Potential universe of GA aircraft = 160,000 Ref: Flying Mag 12/2016
– ~ 60,000 GA won’t equip (guess)
– ~ 34,400 GA have ADS-B-Out today 12/01/2017 Ref https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/installation/current_equipage_levels/
– ~ 65,600 GA yet to equip – all competing for shop slots !
• While costs of the hardware may (or may not) decline, labor costs will likely increase. Two ways slots are already a constraint -– Installation requires about a week at minimum, depending …– Owners use the opportunity to make other changes, further elongating each slot.– Slots will fill up. Shops may charge a premium for slots.
• See traffic before it ruins your whole day. The best reason. (See the next slide for a wake up call.)

ADS-B-InTraffic
• Traffic Information System – B (TIS-B) is on both 1090 and 978• Air to air traffic among participating ADS-B aircraft• Traffic when in line-of-sight of a ADS-R ground station and your
ADS-B-Out aircraft• Traffic must have at least a transponder (and turned on)
• From the ground, TIS-R rebroadcasts input from both frequencies, 1090 and 978
• Note the giant caveat “The Puck” ………. (next slide)
39Warning
Traffic with ADS-BOut and In
40
With ADS-B-In only you will see traffic if you
are piggybacking someone else’s “puck”
(or yours)
ADS-B out aircraft
The Hockey Puck
3 scenarios – you have:1. ADS-B Out & In2. ADS-B Out only3. ADS-B In only
ADS-B Out activates retransmission of ADS-B-In traffic from the ground ADS-RNon-ADS-B traffic must be in radar environment
See the referenced Avidine presentation for detail on how ADS-B works
Two ways to see traffic:1. Plane to plane – ADS-B to ADS-B
2. Rebroadcast from ground
ADS-R
ADS-B-InTraffic
• Traffic information will be seen on your installed system and supporting tablet system - with the following conditions– (+/-) altitude and radius - the “hockey puck” (see previous slide)
– ADS-B-Out in your aircraft• All transponder equipped traffic, whether the they have ADS-B-Out,
Mode S, or Mode C (assumes radar environment and within range of ADS-R ground-based tower)
– Or ADS-B-Out in nearby aircraft• Within the other aircraft’s “hockey puck”, then same as above
– Traffic must have a transponder turned on• Will never see that Taylorcraft BC12-D, J3 Cub or Champ 7AC• Will never see that pilot who does not turn on the transponder
– Traffic without ADS-B-Out that is outside radar coverage would not be seen• Without these conditions, relying on ADS-B-In traffic is
incomplete and DANGEROUS
41Warning
ADS-B Equipment Choices
42
Equipment choicesADS-B-Out only
Meet the ADS-B-Out mandate only - overview• Besides legality, no benefit for the pilot• 978 (Universal Access Transceiver) UAT
– WAAS GPS source needed– May require a different altitude encoder
• 1090ES transponder– WAAS GPS source needed– May require a different altitude encoder– Transponder in-model upgrade may be available
• No display required– Because no weather or traffic is provided
• Could use a tablet application for ADS-B-In with– Software - ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, WingX, FlyQ, etc.– Hardware –Stratus, Scout, Garmin GDL39, Clarity, Dual, etc.
• Be cognizant of battery life or requirement for ship’s power (and number of wires)
WAAS GPS standard = TSO-C145 or TSO-C164
43
Equipment choicesADS-B-Out only
Meet the ADS-B-Out mandate only – drill down• 1090ES transponder
– WAAS GPS• Internal or connection to an existing WAAS GPS• May require a different altitude encoder (as with other 1090 or 978 choices)• May require a software update and wiring
– Transponder in-model upgrade• WAAS source required• Garmin 330 upgrade to ES• Garmin 327 to 330ES upgrade
– Transponder replacement• Garmin 335, 345, etc• Some vendors offer a King KT76 slide-in replacement
– But wiring changes for WAAS source may still be required
• 1090ES transponder ADS-B supplement– Transponder insert
• Garmin GDL-82
• No display required - no weather or traffic provided – Except L3 Lynx 900044
Equipment choicesADS-B-Out and ADS-B-In
• 1090ES transponder– Most have GPS– May require a different altitude encoder– Connection to appropriate display for ADS-B-In if desired– Only a few choices with display – L3 Lynx
• 978 UAT– WAAS GPS
• Internal or connection to an existing WAAS GPS
– May require a different altitude encoder
• Beware of “compatibility” claims– If a 3rd party 978 UAT is “compatible” with a Garmin 400-700 series, does that mean
it does everything a GDL88 does including display? Or does that mean it will use the Garmin 400/500 series WAAS GPS as a position source? Big difference.
– Non-Garmin traffic may display on Garmin.– Non-Garmin weather will NOT display on Garmin.
45
plus
Meet the ADS-B-Out mandate plus provide pilot information
Equipment choicesADS-B-Out and ADS-B-In
• Experimentals and LSA – The FAA offered clarification in Feb/March 2015– Experimentals and LSAs do require TSO-compliant ADS-B for the mandate.– But they do not need to have an actual TSO
• TSO testing is very costly• The obligation for TSO compliance falls on the operator
– This is a critical fine point– (I have not seen the actual ruling letter so check it out on your own.)
46
Tablet based ADS-B-In• Consider tablet applications and
a separate receiver for ADS-B-In• Tablet based applications will
improve much more quickly than certified panel mount display systems.
• Application and ADS-B-In receiver– ForeFlight and Stratus or Scout– Garmin Pilot and GDL39– WingX or FlyQ and Dual or Clarity, etc.. – Stratux– Others

Tablet weatherTablet weather is great!
6/28/2014 ADS-B-In picture was correlated with Stormscope, ATC radar and visible break in clouds.
SE of MRT, went S toward West Jefferson. Then over TZR, N to intercept OSU ILS on tight turn to Fuler. Circle to land runway 14 (The only runway suitable for the fierce winds – Too bad it is gone)
Some bumps, some rain. Variable, strong and gusty surface winds. Otherwise non-eventful.

54
Potential choices and caveatsGuidelines
• General guidelines– Walk though the decision tree
• Verify compatibility with your other equipment• Understand what the vendor means by “compatibility”.
• You and the vendor may have very different definitions
• Watch the “extras” drive up a cost. ADS-B device may be <60% of the total cost– Altitude encoder – there are two kinds and you might have the wrong one
– Antennas – some vendors include them and some don’t
– Installation kits– Control heads and/or switch panels – some approached require them and some don’t
– Wiring to transponder or off-the-air squawk– WiFi/Bluetooth– Installation– Restack– Vendor may “cleverly” omit required equipment such as a WAAS GPS– Correcting issues with existing equipment and installation
55
Potential choices and caveatsGuidelines
• Don’t let tablet ADS-B-In software and receiver dominate your choice– The market is changing way too fast
• Consider whether the vendor will be around for the long haul to support the product
• There is a loan fund for equipage– NextGen Equipage Fund, LLC which is managed by NEXA General Partnership,
LLC. http://www.nextgenfund.com/
56
Potential choices and caveatsGuidelines –Diversity
• The minimum ADS-B-Out requirement is for a single antenna on the bottom for communication with the ground station.
• Per Garmin: “Antenna diversity technology configures your aircraft with both top- and bottom-mount antennas to reduce the potential for antenna “shading,” which helps prevent target drop out during turns and maneuvers. An optional top-mounted antenna also comes in handy during ground operations, when a bottom-mount mount antenna might not have clear line-of-sight to receive ADS-B ground station signals or transmissions from other participating aircraft.”– 2nd antenna on the top– With diversity we see ADS-B weather on OSU ramp. The ADS-B tower is in Grove City
• Many ADS-B devices do not offer a diversity option • May not be as important on smaller planes
57
1090 ES
58
1090ES Ballpark Cost• For ADS-B-Out with upgraded 1090 transponder = $1K and up• For ADS-B-Out with new 1090 transponder = $4K and up• Blend of 1090ES ADS-B-Out and tablet for ADS-B-In - $4K and up
• Separate WAAS sensors start around $4K in addition to the above• Or get WAAS GPS data from existing panel mount WAAS GPS
• Note: The device cost is only a portion of the total cost

Consider a non-WAAS Garmin GPS• Compare cost of WAAS upgrade and additional IFR capability
versus less expensive WAAS included with a 978 UAT. Tough call– Garmin 400/500 non-WAAS to WAAS upgrade ~$3.9K (3 weeks)
• Display on 400/500 series• Regain manufacturer support• Gain lower IFR minimums• Remove non-WAAS limitation requiring a ground based IAP as alternate. • Info not related to the ADS-B story. With non-WAAS, pilot may now choose GPS primary with ground-
based alternate or the other way around – Note: “Alternate airport planning policy for operators is based on their equipage. Use of GPS based IAP minima at the
alternate airport is authorized in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS) and in any State where allowed/authorized. Please consult the applicable Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP). Wide area augmentation system (WAAS) navigation equipped operators may still plan for GPS based IAP (e.g., GPS, Area Navigation (RNAV) (GPS), RNAV Required Navigation Performance (RNP)) at both the destination and/or the alternate airport. GPS navigation equipped operators with fault detection and exclusion (FDE) capability but without WAAS navigation equipment may now plan for GPS based IAP at either the destination or the alternate airport. Finally, GPS or WAAS equipped operators with barometric vertical navigation (baro VNAV) equipment may plan to use this capability at either destination or alternate airports.” Per FAA (ref N8900.218 AFS-400 effective 5/30/13) G
– Versus: WAAS with Garmin GDL-88 978 UAT adds ~$1.1K• Save ~S2.3K by not upgrading 400/500 non-WAAS
– Is expense better applied to something newer in the panel?

These 2 pilots need ADS-B traffic
ADS-B-Out & Incost example (rounded)
• Existing Garmin 530W. The choice was obvious• GDL88D - $3,900
• Note the device was just 57% of the “out the door” cost
• 2 antennas – 2 x $200 = $400• Altitude encoder - $425
– Existing encoder was not the required type
• Miscellaneous - $200• 25 hours Installation - $1,850 (older labor rate)
• Total - $6,750• Without diversity, the total would have been about $800 less,
for a total of $5,950. – Less expensive device, only one antenna, less installation labor 90

Takeaways• Decision is complex. Needs thoughtful study
– New options this year• GDL-82• ForeFlight Scout• uAvionix SkyBeacon (once it is certified)
• Not every plane will need ADS-B but will become limited• Basic Med altitude limit is 18,000 feet and may influence your
ADS-B choice.• ADS-B will likely cost $2-5K at minimum• Installation shop slots will become increasingly constrained• The deadline is 12/31/2019• Some ADS-B vendors have not survived
