"Smart" keys allow you to zoom in and out, and select an individual traffic target. Review the Limitations section in the front of this guide for the limitations that apply traffic data. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is a surveillance technology being deployed in selected areas of the NAS. ADS-B equipment broadcasts a radio transmission approximately once per second containing the aircraft's position, velocity, identification, and other information. ADS-B equipment can also receive reports from other suitably equipped aircraft within reception range. Additionally, these broadcasts can be received by Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs) and used to provide air traffic surveillance services, along with fleet operator monitoring of aircraft. No ground infrastructure is necessary for ADS-B equipped aircraft to detect each other. In the United States, two different data links have been adopted for use ADS-B Traffic page showing 360 degree arc with ADS-B: 1090 MHz Extended Squitter (1090 ES) and the Universal Access Transceiver (UAT). The 1090 ES link is intended for aircraft that primarily operate at FL180 and above, whereas the UAT link is intended for use by aircraft that primarily operate at 18, 000 feet and below. From a pilot's standpoint, the two links operate similarly and support ADS-B and Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B). The UAT link additionally supports Flight Information Services-Broadcast (FIS-B). ADS-B System Description 35 Detailed Operation ADS-B Traffic ADS-B equipment may be certified as an air-to-air system for enhancing situational awareness and as a surveillance source for air traffic services. Refer to the aircraft's flight manual supplement for the specific aircraft installation.
