ADS-B Out and In: Essential Guide

This document provides information about ADS-B Out and ADS-B In requirements and capabilities. ADS-B Out is mandated by 2020 and broadcasts aircraft position continuously, while ADS-B In receives information from other aircraft and ground stations but requires additional equipment. Aircraft have the choice to implement 1090ES or UAT solutions depending on their altitude and whether they fly domestically or internationally. Pilots should consider their operational needs and existing equipment to determine the best ADS-B implementation strategy.

ADS-B Reference Guide

ADS-B Out (XMIT) ADS-B In (Receive)


• Mandated by Jan 1, 2020 • Currently not mandated
• “Outbound” information • “Inbound” information
• Broadcasts your position continuously, not just • Receives position information of other aircraft
when interrogated • Necessary to receive free weather and other
• Required anywhere a transponder is required aeronautical information (FIS-B)
today (but does not replace the need for a • Allows for display of traffic
transponder)
• Requires more equipment than just an “Out”
• Requires certain equipment (transmitter and solution (transmitter, receiver and display unit)
position source (GPS))
• May already have some of the necessary parts
• Your aircraft may already be equipped with some
• FIS-B available only on UAT
of the necessary pieces.
• TIS-B available on both data links.

1090ES UAT
• Authorized (-In) at all altitudes
• Authorized (-In) at all altitudes (but services are
• Required (-Out) above FL180 limited above FL180)
• Required if flying outside of the U.S. • Allows for inbound TIS-B and FIS-B
• FIS-B (weather) not available • Allows reception of ADS-B from other aircraft
• Allows reception of ADS-B from other aircraft • Allows reception of ADS-R from ground stations
• Allows reception of ADS-R from ground stations (TIS-B)
(TIS-B)

Questions you should ask yourself:


• Do I fly primarily below 18,000 msl, or do I sometimes venture into higher flight levels?
• Do I fly internationally?
• Should I equip with -Out only, or both ADS-B In and ADS-B Out?
• Do I have equipment that will work for either of these solutions, and how can that existing
equipment be maximized?
• 1090ES or UAT? Remember: 1090ES is the required frequency for ADS-B Out above FL180, but
you will need to receive on UAT to benefit from FIS-B information. TIS-B is available on both
frequencies.
• Is there a way a hybrid solution will work? Can I easily incorporate ADS-B Out on 1090ES while
getting ADS-B In on UAT?
