The Business Aviation Quiz: How Much Do you Know About ADS-B?

How much do you know about ADS-B?

As more systems become available enabling operational benefits for both pilots and operators, take our quiz to test your knowledge.

Click across to the next image to start the quiz >

1. As of Jan. 1, 2020, the FAA has mandated that aircraft flying in most controlled airspace in the U.S. be equipped to broadcast their position and identity by ADS-B Out. About how many aircraft are equipped?

Click across to the next image to find out the answer >

As of Feb. 1, 2021, the FAA counted 104,078 ADS-B-equipped general aviation fixed-wing aircraft. Of these aircraft, 94,869 were “good installs” and 9,209 were “nonperforming emitters,” due to misinstalled avionics.

2. Has the FAA replaced radar with ADS-B to track aircraft?

Click across to the next image to find out the answer >

No. In a recent interview with Aviation Week Intelligence Network, the FAA’s surveillance and broadcast services group manager described ADS-B as the agency’s “preferred” method of surveillance, which it uses to complement radar and multilateration to track aircraft.

3. How can you confirm that your aircraft complies with the FAA’s ADS-B Out regulation?

Click across to the next image to find out the answer >

Aircraft owners, operators and avionics shops can request Public ADS-B Performance Reports (PAPR) from the FAA to validate the performance of ADS-B Out equipment installed on aircraft by entering the flight date and other information at: adsbperformance.faa.gov/PAPRRequest.aspx

4. How can privacy be protected when an aircraft is continuously broadcasting identifying information by ADS-B Out?

Click across to the next image to find out the answer >

The FAA has established the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program, which allows an operator to request an alternate, temporary ICAO aircraft address that is not attributable to the owner/operator in the Civil Aviation Registry. To begin the process, an operator must obtain a PAPR with the aircraft’s permanently assigned ICAO address from a flight in ADS-B airspace within the past 180 days. Next, enter the required information via the PIA request site at: adsbperformance.faa.gov/PIA/Application.aspx

5. ADS-B In allows pilots to receive and display weather and traffic information in the cockpit, but may require new processor and display systems in addition to approved ADS-B Out avionics. Which companies supply ADS-B In equipment?

Click across to the next image to find out the answer >

The FAA lists the following manufacturers of approved Version 2 ADS-B In equipment: Aspen Avionics, ACSS, Avidyne, Honeywell BendixKing, Collins Aerospace, FreeFlight Systems, Garmin, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Aviation Products.

How did you get on?

Register for the webinar 'ADS-B Out and In' hosted by BCA's Bill Carey as the panel reviews some of the new systems that are available to enable pilots and operators to benefit from ADS-B In, including cost and time considerations of installing or upgrading equipment.
