Avsoft’s ADS-B course explores important definitions, limitations, components, and procedures related to Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast (ADS-B) surveillance technology.
Learning objectives include:
- system description, including ADS-B Out, ADS-B In, ADS-R, TIS-B, and FIS-B
- flight planning,
- operating procedures,
- emergency codes
- phraseology
- human factors.
ADS-B is a requirement for both the FAA’s NextGen Initiative and Eurocontrol’s Single European Sky Initiative.
The FAA has ruled that after 1 January 2020 all aircraft operating in Class A airspace must have ADS-B equipment installed. Eurocontrol has ruled that all aircraft with an MTOW over 5,700 kg or maximum cruise capability over 250 knots must be equipped with ADS-B by 7 June 2020.
This course concludes with a test, and when the test is successfully completed, a certificate of completion is generated.
