Study Notes
ADS-B Surveillance Systems Overview
- ADS-B Out Requirement in Class E Airspace: Aircraft must have ADS-B out equipment installed when operating at and above 10,000 ft MSL in Class E airspace, unless otherwise authorized by ATC.
Legal Flight Operations without ADS-B
- Flight Below Class C Airspace: While operating below the floor of Class C airspace (e.g., at 1,600 ft MSL), ADS-B out is not required, permitting legal flights without this equipment.
ADS-B Out Requirement in Class B and C Airspace
- General Requirement: ADS-B out is mandatory for flights in Class B and C airspace, including when operating in Class E airspace at or above specified altitudes.
Specific Flights and ADS-B Out
-
Overflying Class C Airspace: Flights over Class C airspace above 10,000 ft MSL require ADS-B out equipment, aligning with regulations to enhance surveillance for safety.
-
Coastal Operations: ADS-B out is required over the Gulf of Mexico at and above 3,000 ft MSL from the U.S. coastline to 12 NM.
Mode C Veil Requirement
- Operation within 30 NM of Class B: Any flight within the Mode C Veil (30 NM of a Class B airport, surface to 10,000 ft MSL) necessitates ADS-B out equipment.
Flights Not Requiring ADS-B Out
- Flights between E and D Airspace: No additional equipment is required when flying from Class E to Class D airspace below 10,000 ft MSL.
Additional ADS-B Out Applications
- Flying from Surface to 10,000 ft Near Class B Airport: Flights from a location within 30 NM of a Class B airport at altitudes up to 10,000 ft MSL must have ADS-B out.
ADS-B in Class A Airspace
- Class A Airspace Requirement: To operate in Class A airspace, aircraft must have ADS-B out equipment, specifically the Extended Squitter operating at 1090 MHz.
Summary of ADS-B Requirements
- General Rule on ADS-B Surveillance: ADS-B is a crucial component of the air traffic surveillance system, enhancing aircraft tracking and safety across various classes of airspace.
