ADS-B technology is current flights. ADS-B technology within planes allows for arguably the solution to many of these long-term instantaneous satellite location tracking, opposed to sustainability concerns within the aviation industry and 1 University of Pittsburgh, Swanson School of Engineering First-Year Conference Paper 03.29.2019 Mandala, 10:00 Team 24 projects to save owners, and the aviation industry, much they are traveling the least distance possible, and thus use money.

Gray Program Manager [email protected] Approving Official Claire W. Barrett Chief Privacy & Information Asset Officer Office of the Chief Information Officer [email protected] 0 U.S. Department of Transportation Executive Summary On May 28, 2010, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published the Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) final rule mandating that aircraft flying in certain controlled airspace be equipped with ADS-B Out capability not later than January 1, 2020.1 In turn, the FAA developed the Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT) to assist pilots, dispatchers, and commercial operators in checking their predicted navigation and surveillance availability before a flight as well as handle requests for Air Traffic Control (ATC) authorization pursuant to 14 CFR § 91.225(g). The SAPT has three main components: Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) SAPT, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) SAPT, and ADS-B Deviation Authorization Pre-Flight Tool (ADAPT). This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed pursuant to Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 because the SAPT includes a web-based capability to collect and manage Personally Identifiable Information (PII) captured from aircraft operators to facilitate the automated handling of ATC authorization requests and FAA’s responses. What is a Privacy Impact Assessment? The Privacy Act of 1974 articulates concepts for how the federal government should treat individuals and their information and imposes duties upon federal agencies regarding the collection, use, dissemination, and maintenance of personally identifiable information (PII).

  • Aircraft Tracking: What Is Currently Available?
    Aircraft Tracking: What is currently available? Andrew Burton, 31 Dec 2014 With the third major commercial airline crash of 2014 where the aircraft could not be located for 48 hours or more, there is a growing discussion around the issue of real-time flight following of aircraft. There is a lot of conjecture from armchair experts about what could be done, and what is currently available, and why it isn’t being widely used. Apex Flight Operations and its predecessors have been involved in aircraft tracking since 2003, and we are uniquely positioned as both a hardware manufacturer and a flight tracking data accumulator to shed some light on what is currently available in the market. Firstly, there are three major types of aircraft tracking: traditional radar-based, ADS-B/ACARS and dedicated flight following – the majority of recent discussion around aircraft tracking has omitted this last type. There are also several new systems or planned improvements to existing systems that may bring increased oversight in the future. Traditional Radar-Based Tracking This has been the predominant means of tracking aircraft in real time globally until the advent of ADS-B, and remains the only means of flight following in areas with no or limited ADS-B coverage. It has major shortfalls in that tracking is only available when the aircraft is in range of the radar – the rest of the time the aircraft is estimated to be at a certain location based on expected speed on a planned flight path. It is now generally accepted that a better alternative needs to be urgently found.
