Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B)What is it, and how can it help improve operations in Micronesia?
Captain Rocky StoneChief Surveillance PilotUnited AirlinesPacific Aviation Directors WorkshopMarch 15, 2012
What is ADS-B? ADS-B is a surveillance system that relies on aircraft
transmitting their current position ADS-B ground stations are much less expensive than radar,
and much more capable Aircraft transmits position and velocity twice a second With GPS navigation, ADS-B is more accurate than radar ADS-B allows not only the ground to receive the position
information, but close by aircraft can also “see” ADS-B transmissions, enabling air-to-air applications in addition to “radar like” air-to-ground applications

Why is the FAA moving forward with ADS-B? ADS-B is an enabler for most “NextGen” procedures that
increase safety, capacity, and efficiency Interval Management (IM) – maximizes throughput to
capacity constrained airports In Trail Procedures (ITP) – increases the probability that
aircraft on long oceanic flights will be able to fly at their optimum altitude, reducing fuel burn and emissions

ITP Opportunities
What will ADS-B do for Micronesia? ADS-B provides ATC a “better than radar” surveillance system Airports which ATC currently only allows “one in/one out” stand
to gain significant capacity Eliminates most airborne holding – reduces fuel burn and
emissions Greatly reduces the probability of diversion Increased safety, as ATC always knows exactly where the
aircraft are
