ADS-B … What is it and What does it mean to you and your Airport? All aircraft will soon be required to have ADS-B to be allowed into controlled airspace. This is going to change the nature of Air Traffic Control (ATC), and much else. ADS-B can provide (in operational areas), an alert to those working on the runway to give them more time to clear their gear in an orderly way, or continue working if an expected arrival is running late. This is important in today’s Health-and-Safety conscious environment. If an H&S improvement can be done, it has to be done or you’ll be explaining why not, to the authorities after an incident. For Pilots: ADS-B is a more powerful Transponder that sends detailed position reports every second or so. ATC will know for sure exactly where they are, so can continue to allow private pilots into their airspace, and Search and Rescue will know where to look if someone must put down in an emergency. For our Aimm Movement Monitoring System: We’re adding ADS-B Ground Stations to our the Aimm recording units at airports.
