| It forms the foundation for NextGen by moving from ground radar and navigational aids to precise tracking using satellite signals. This will be more environmentally friendly and enhance safety and efficiency. | It forms the foundation for NextGen by moving from ground radar and navigational aids to precise tracking using satellite signals.

| Using satellites instead of ground navigational aids means aircraft will be able to fly more directly from Point A to B, saving time and fuel. Improved accuracy and reliability of satellite signals means controllers eventually will be able to safely reduce the minimum separation distance between aircraft and increase capacity. | Using satellites instead of ground navigational aids means aircraft will be able to fly more directly from Point A to B, saving time and fuel.

| + | * Guarantee you will observe all aircraft in your area because aircraft without a transponder or ADS-B OUT will not show up. | ||
| + | * Provide conflict resolutions instructions such as what you see in a TCAS. | ||
| + | * Identify non-ABS-B OUT equipped aircraft that are operating at low altitudes and are outside the range of an ADS-B ground station. Aircraft may also be below radar coverage and not visible to ATC. | ||

| + | |||
| + | TIS-B is a free service available to aircraft operators equipped with ADS-B OUT and ADS-B IN. FIS-B is available free to any operator with the ability to receive and display the data that is broadcast on the Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) or the 978 MHz link and includes | ||

| + | ===== ADS-B Required ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Under the rule, ADS-B OUT performance will be required to operate in: | ||
| - | Guarantee you will observe all aircraft in your area because aircraft without a transponder or ADS-B OUT will not show up. | + | - Class A, B, and C airspace. |
| - | Provide conflict resolutions instructions such as what you see in a TCAS. | + | - Class E airspace within the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia at and above 10,000 feet MSL, excluding the airspace at and below 2,500 feet above the surface. |
| - | Identify non-ABS-B OUT equipped aircraft that are operating at low altitudes and are outside the range of an ADS-B ground station. Aircraft may also be below radar coverage and not visible to ATC. | + | - Class E airspace at and above 3,000 feet MSL over the Gulf of Mexico from the coastline of the United States out to 12 nautical miles. |
| + | - Around those airports identified in 14 CFR part 91, Appendix D. | ||
