This two-year project initiated in January 2018 is overseen by a consortium from the general aviation (GA) community: AOPA UK, Pildo Labs, Funke Avionics and Trig Avionics. Aviation consultancy Helios is the project coordinator. Abstract This document describes the aerodrome operation demonstration for a completely ADS-B equipped Electronic Conspicuity environment, using a range of ADS-B cockpit traffic display systems and ground ADS-B display systems. The aim is to replicate a possible future scenario of full equipage and full mutual electronic conspicuity, to explore the usefulness and usability of cockpit traffic displays and ground surveillance displays in such an environment – i.e. exploring the human factors aspects as well as equipment capability considerations. GAINS is co-funded under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. This two-year project initiated in January 2018 is overseen by a consortium from the general aviation (GA) community: AOPA UK, Pildo Labs, Funke Avionics and Trig Avionics.
