ADS-B OUT - Specific FAA operational regulation

• Airbus has certified ADS-B OUT DO-260B installation on all programs in compliance with AC-20-165A.

However:

• The FAA 14 CFR 91.227(c) requires an aircraft position availability of 100% along the planned route

• Additional FAA operational regulation referenced AC-90-114A providing operational requirements for operators to satisfy the
aircraft position availability requirement:
- Prediction Program to be run before the departure to dispatch the aircraft (e.g: SAPT)
- Predicted unavailability of aircraft position would lead to delayed departure or rerouting
- SBAS (WAAS) will not require SAPT : FAA recommendation to implement SBAS capability

 AIRBUS has decided to develop MMR with SBAS capability on all aircraft program in the aim to be
compliant with AC-90-114A

• Exemption period granted by FAA to be compliant with AC-90-114A: from Jan 1st 2020 until Dec 31, 2024

ATSAW+ - CDTI Assisted Visual Separation (CAVS)

CDTI Assisted Visual Separation operation (with ATSAW+):

• The flight crew can follow the preceding aircraft using the CDTI in case of loss of visual contact
• CAVS allows delegation of the separation responsibility to the flight crew, which bring flexibility to manage the approach

Safely perform approach

procedures using own separation
from the preceding aircraft more
efficiently and possibly more
regularly to enhance runway
capacity

Airbus presentation - ICAO Aeronautical Surveillance Systems Worshop - 05_11_2018 - EYIC_D18033607_v1

ATSAW+ - CDTI Assisted Visual Separation (CAVS)

• Surrounding traffic information is provided on the Navigation

Display

• When the pilot is cleared for a visual separation operation, he

selects the target aircraft and can monitor its relative evolution
(speed, heading, altitude).

• The Navigation Display provides visual aids to maintain a

minimum distance separation with the target aircraft providing
dotted line ring for separation guidance

RITAS (Runway Incursion Traffic Alert System) – SURF-A

• Principle:
 Runway Incursion Traffic Alert System is an alerting function to prevent traffic ground SAFETY BENEFIT
collision - RITA provides an additional
safety net against runway
 RITAS computes on real-time the detection of any conflicting traffic on runway during
incursion
approach or take-off.
- This prevention will also
 RITAS is based on EUROCAE/RTCA standard for SURF-IA
contribute to a reduction in the
disruption of operations.

Page 23
RITAS (Runway Incursion Traffic Alert System) – SURF-A

 In case of conflict, an aural & visual alert is triggered to

encourage the crew:
-To perform a Go-Around during approach;
-To apply appropriate manoeuvre when on ground.

ACAS X – Why ADS-B?

TCAS ACAS X
1. More accurate tracking
bearing +/- 15° (+/- 45° tail zone) GPS position 0,05NM (92,6m)

2. Use of ADS-B allow to reduction of 1030/1090HZ interrogations and thus reduce RF congestion

3. Tracking non-cooperative aircraft (non-transponder equipped):

ACAS X benefits

• UNAVOIDABLE IN FUTURE: When traffic density will increase, ACAS X will have to replace current TCAS II (due to a
high number of nuisance alerts). Also, ACAS X will then reduce the probability of unecessary maneuvers (SPO)

• SAFETY : ACAS X improves safety whatever the Airspace and whatever the situation (as it takes into account within its
logic all possible operational scenarios and all pilot reactions). Accuracy of intruder position is improved (with extended
usage of ADS-B) so that the logic is more efficient. It also offers a safer tracking of general aviation.

• COST SAVING: With ACAS X no need anymore for costy a/c performance simulations that Airbus needs to perform
each time a new a/c program or a new a/c version is created

• MIGHT BE INDIRECTLY MANDATED: EASA might mandate a mecanism to cope with today spectral 1030/1090 MHz
band congestion issue : only ACAS X (or Hybrid surveillance) can respond to such request

• COULD BE REQUESTED BY OUR CUSTOMERS: ACAS X could be requested by some airlines that operate in high
density parrallel runway airport (like San Fransisco: more than 4000 RA/year) as those airports could offer incentives for
airlines that would embed ACAS X their fleet (as ACAS Xo solves the issue).

• INTEGRATION: ACAS X does not require any change neither on Airbus Display nor on Airbus interfaced equipments
(plug&play). Manufacturers have already validated prototypes and can move to a single ACAS X product line.
