ADS-B

U.S. lawmakers are pushing what the FAA said was not worth the cost: a broader application of Automated Dependent Surveillance Broadcast capabilities.

A bipartisan push by U.S. lawmakers to force the FAA to require ADS-B In continues to gain momentum.

Boeing is wrapping up a project with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency to test certification guidance for using artificial intelligence in the cockpit.

With the right equipment, anyone can receive and process ADS-B data. And they do.

The new U.S. administration has unveiled its proposed overhaul of the aging air traffic control system.

Drone data collected through the FAA’s Remote ID and academic studies provides critical information for improving operations.

While some radars improve detection of weather-related turbulence, clear air turbulence detection remains difficult. One company looks to negate the phenomenon.

If we do not start establishing complementary and alternative systems now, we merely increase the expense and prolong the dangers to lives and property.

Even phantom vessels emit signals that satellites can detect.

Some airports say they need the fees to help cover expenses, but the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and Experimental Aircraft Association oppose them.

With radio frequency interference now routine for commercial airlines, more is at stake than redundancy, a cornerstone of aviation safety built over decades.

Tools are being developed to speed the detection and mitigation of GPS jamming and spoofing.

Daedalean and Avidyne make progress toward U.S. and EU approval of vision-based situational awareness system.

Executives, high-profile individuals and their teams need to understand the security risks from extensive flight data tracking and be equipped to counter them.

Organizations are making progress but still debating the best way to prevent contrail formation.

Using satellites for radio communications over oceans promises air traffic management efficiencies.

The collaboration shows the promise of broadening traffic surveillance capabilities to aircraft.

An independent report flagged four general areas as places to target to make U.S. airspace safer and more efficient.

Promising results from two FAA trials showcasing ADS-B In capabilities have convinced the agency to extend the work for another year.

Flight tracking is a popular hobby among many aviation enthusiasts, but is a concern for pilots, owners, operators and passengers across the U.S.

Most airline close calls happened within 1 1/2 mi. of a runway approach or departure zone.
