ADS-B OUT – AIRBUS POSITION • Airbus supports initial ADS-B OUT certification and operations based on existing equipment. 4 no 4 a need to retrofit the current transponder quickly available solution 4 reduction of cost for airlines, transponder suppliers and Airbus. • Support from : Airservices Australia , CASA, Eurocontrol, Honeywell, ACSS, Collins, etc. © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. • ADS-B parameters transmitted by Airbus aircraft: 4 Transponders 4 No capable of ELS/EHS/ADS-B need for pin programming to activate • Presently certified on a non interference basis • 3 -steps strategy 5
ADS-B OUT implementation – 1 st step : Initial certification of ADS-B OUT for operational use • Performance declaration of ADS-B Out capacity in Aircraft Flight Manual by Airbus 4 Operational approval for the intended application (e. g. taking into account end-to-end needs) to be performed by users • Airbus declaration of performance for in-service aircraft will be useful to: © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. 4 Develop end-to-end certification material 4 Acquire experience in ground applications (NRA) 4 Acquire experience in initial airborne applications (ATSAW) 4 Refine the needs and update the standards 4 Identify limitations or issues of current installations • Target date for ADS-B Out capability certification on Airbus aircraft: End 2006 6
ADS-B OUT implementation – 2 nd step: Look into the future • ASAS applications may require additional ADS-B out messages: status message 4 Aircraft category (Light, Medium, Heavy) 4 Target state status message (i. e. target altitude, target heading) 4 Aircraft operational status 4 Waypoints, trajectory, etc… 4 Others? © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. 4 Emergency/priority • RFG is currently working on ASAS applications to 4 Define the operational needs, 4 Develop the minimum Interop / Perf / Safety Requirements 7
ADS-B OUT implementation – 3 rd step: New development • Airbus applies evolutions to transponders: improvement (integration, reduction of weight and consumption…) 4 Additional parameters depending on RFG definition of ASAS applications 4 Comply with implementation plans and mandates (e. g. DO 260 A for USA) © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. 4 Continuous • Airbus objective is to get best trade-off between value of additional data versus cost of upgrade 8
How to drive ADS-B IN in the aircraft? Key drivers • Sufficient ADS-B Out quality / deployment ÞADS-B Out 3 -steps roadmap ÞNeed to be further discussed within industry ÞAirbus is advocating industry to investigate if current ADS-B Out is sufficient for initial ADS-B IN application • Benefits for those who equip with each ADS-B IN package • Ensure transition path © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. 4 Develop the ATSAW aircraft function to gain early benefits 4 Understand next ASAS steps needs to take provisions in ATSAW development 4 Harmonize early implementations of Sequencing&Merging standardization : UPS needs and other needs. 9
Use of ATSAW on oceanic environments • ATSAW Only 4 Use of ATSAW to detect climb opportunities 4 Current separation minima 4 Current phraseology • ATSAW – In Trail Procedure (ITP) © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. 4 Implementation of a new procedure 4 Based on ATSAW 4 Reduced separation minima during the climb 4 New phraseology 10

ATSAW Over Oceans • Significant fuel saving due to flight at the optimum flight level • Validation needed 4 Maturity of ITP procedure needs to be gained 4 Technical / Operational assessment still needed ÞEurocontrol funded CRISTAL ITP project to validate the procedure in the North Atlantic © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. ÞEquivalent projects in Australia and the USA • Even without ITP procedure, benefits of ATSAW aircraft function over oceans & remote areas 4 Helps flight crew to detect climb opportunities 4 Enhanced Traffic information broadcast application (TIBA) 4 Enhanced traffic situational awareness 13
Oceanic to continental transition : Datalink • FANS-1/A : from 1995 4 Began in South Pacific then expanded in other oceans 4 A lot of experience was gained there © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. – Technical maturity (e. g. HMI, FMS) – Procedure feedbacks (e. g. Ambiguous CPDLC messages) – Flight Crew training feedback – Controller training feedback Link 2000+ : Datalink deployment in core Europe 4 Many lessons learnt from FANS-1/A experience 14
Oceanic to continental transition : ATSAW • ATSAW over oceans 4 Immediate benefits to those who equip = Fuel savings • Similar opportunity to datalink communication experience 4 From FANS 1/A to Link 2000+ 4 From ATSAW oceanic to continental © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. • Eurocontrol and FAA coordinated actions (AP 22) for operations convergence • Right path to spark off ASAS use in continental airspace 15
ATSAW : Early benefits in continental environment • Visual separation approaches aided by ATSAW 4 Better identification of target aircraft 4 Anticipation of speed changes • Enhanced traffic situational awareness in continental environment © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. 4 Better understanding of the arrival sequence at dense airports (even where visual separations are not used) 4 Better anticipation of ACAS situations • ATSAW will help in gaining experience & confidence (flight crew, technical) to prepare future applications 16
ATSAW : main steps © AIRBUS FRANCE S. A. S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel. Validation & Development • 2007 : Cristal ITP oceanic operational procedure trials • end 2008 : Target date for ATSAW certification on Airbus aircraft Deployement • Oceanic use of ATSAW • Introduction of ITP oceanic procedure supported by ATSAW • Continental use of ATSAW Future • When ADS-B Out performance permits, introduction of ATSAW on surface 17
