ADS-B TRAFFIC APPLICATIONS
FEATURE REQUIREMENTS
•
Aviation database (SURF only)
FEATURE LIMITATIONS
•
ATAS does not alert to traffic on ground
ADS-B In traffic supports three applications:
AIRB: Basic Airborne Application
ATAS: ADS-B Traffic Advisory System
SURF: Surface Situation Awareness
AIRB is considered the fundamental airborne traffic application. ATAS provides
alerts when airborne traffic trajectories pose a potential collision risk.
SURF provides additional situational awareness when you are on ground or
within the terminal environment.

•
Both active when ADS-B is "On"

•
Alerts occur when potential collision risks are determined
based on current airborne position and trajectory and the
position and trajectories of other airborne traffic
•
Airborne traffic alerts only
(no alerts on ground or for traffic on the ground)
•
Nominally allow 20 to 40 seconds for flight crew response
•
Provide aural alerting when traffic alerts occur
•
Active on ground or within the terminal environment
(<5 nm and <1,500 ft above field elevation)
•
Traffic on ground may display when SURF is active
•
Runway and taxiway depictions when the zoom scale is
<2 nm (Traffic page only)
•
