ADS-B

Question 1

What is ADS – R?

Answer 1

Automatic dependent surveillance re-broadcast

Question 2

What is TIS – B?

Answer 2

Traffic information service broadcast

Question 3

What is FIS – B?

Answer 3

 Flight information service broadcast

Question 4

What is the difference between ADS-B In and ADS-B Out?

Answer 4

ADS-B In receives ADS-B information from other aircraft and ground stations, while ADS-B Out transmits the aircrafts position and identification information.

Question 5

When must ADS-B equipment be activated?

Answer 5

Prior to any phase of a flight operation, including airport surface movement operations.

Question 6

Aircraft operating at and above 18,000 feet MSL or in international airspace are required to transmit on what frequency?

Answer 6

1090 MHz.

Question 7

What is the ADS-B In service that collects traffic information from each broadcast link and rebroadcasts it to ADS-B In equipped operators, allowing aircraft to receive air traffic information for aircraft broadcasting on both frequencies?

Answer 7

ADS-R.

Question 8

Your aircraft has a 1090 MHz ES transponder for ADS-B Out operations and a receiver on the same frequency. Since you are currently in an area without a ground station and unable to receive ADS-R you:

Answer 8

Cannot receive aircraft data from those aircraft equipped with 978 UAT transmitters.

Question 9

Are you able to fly in Class E airspace without ADS-B?

Answer 9

Yes, in certain areas such as below 10,000 feet MSL.

Question 10

If you need to request a deviation for a flight with inoperative ADS-B equipment into ADS-B airspace, or if the aircraft does not have ADS-B equipment installed, to whom is the request made?

Answer 10

The ATC facility having jurisdiction over the concerned airspace.

Question 11

If your aircraft is not ADS-B equipped, how much lead time do you need to give ATC when requesting permission to operate in ADS-B airspace?

Answer 11

At least one hour.

Question 12

What is the difference between an ADS-B Device Failure and an ADS-B Function Failure?

Answer 12

A Device Failure is the failure of the ADS-B system to transmit messages; a Function Failure is a failure of equipment which provides information to the ADS-B system, not the system itself.

Question 13

How should Air-Ground status be determined for the ADS-B system?

Answer 13

Automatically, such as through a landing gear weight-on-wheels switch.

Question 14

When completing a U.S. Area Navigation (RNAV) flight plan or an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) flight plan, where should the transponder code for ADS-B be provided?

Answer 14

Field 10B.

Question 15

If the flight or aircraft ID on the flight plan does not match the flight or aircraft ID being transmitted by the ADS-B system:

Answer 15

You may not be able to receive ATC services or ATC services may be delayed.

Question 16

UAT ADS-B equipment allows operators to transmit a self-assigned (randomized) temporary 24-bit address and blank call sign. When may the UAT anonymous 24-bit address feature be used?

Answer 16

When the operator has not filed a flight plan and is not requesting ATC services.

Question 17

Which of the following ADS-B In aircraft surveillance applications allows the pilot to select an aircraft to follow on approach?

Answer 17

Visual Separation on Approach application.

Question 18

The CDTI control panel is required to have controls that allow the pilot to complete which of the following actions?

Answer 18

Adjust the altitude band.

Question 19

The difference between the ITP aircraft groundspeed and the reference aircraft groundspeed that results in a reduced ITP distance is the:

Answer 19

Closing Groundspeed Differential.

Question 20

Using the following diagram, would the ITP Distance between the two aircraft meet the requirements if the closing groundspeed differential was 20kts?

Answer 20

No, the ITP distance in this case would be 10 miles which would not meet the required 15 nautical miles

Question 21

What is the minimum climb or descent rate for an In-Trail Procedure?

Answer 21

300 fpm.

Question 22

What is the minimum ITP separation during an In-Trail Procedure?

Answer 22

10 NM.

Question 23

What is the maximum relative altitude that the reference aircraft may be at in reference to the ITP aircraft?

Answer 23

No more than 2,000 ft. above or below.

Question 24

Reference aircraft and the ITP aircraft must be on similar tracks for an ITP. Similar tracks for ITP are defined as:

Answer 24

Less than 45 degrees from one another.

Question 25

If during an ITP maneuver reference aircraft data is lost or ITP display fails, the flight crew should:

Answer 25

Continue the maneuver and notify ATC upon completion of ITP maneuver.

Question 26

What does CAVS allow flight crews to do?

Answer 26

Maintain visual separation using the cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) instead of continuous visual observation out the window.

Question 27

The ADS-B caution level minimum range alert is activated when the range to the traffic-to-follow is less than:

Answer 27

1.4 NM.

Question 28

If during a CAVS procedure, the traffic information becomes unreliable, inoperative, or distracting to the operation of the aircraft, and visual separation cannot be maintained, the flight crew should:

Answer 28

Discontinue use of CAVS immediately.

Question 29

Is FAA authorization required to conduct CAVS?

Answer 29

Yes, it requires OpSpec/MSpec/LOA A355.
