ARC Recommendations: Use of DO-260
• Specific Recommendations:
– Recommendation #6 (For Final Rule): Consistent with the ARC’s task 1 report,
Optimizing the Benefits of ADS–B, the FAA should enable the use of DO–260approved equipment for non-separation applications in the NPRM business
case such as conflict probe in radar airspace. The FAA should operationally
validate these benefits as soon as possible, to give operators confidence in the
benefits of ADS–B Out.
– Recommendation #10 (For Final Rule): To approve the use of DO–260-like
equipage, the FAA should adopt, for 5 nm separations in non-radar airspace to
include at least the Gulf of Mexico, European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) 20–24, with appropriate measures to
ensure ADS–B integrity.
– Recommendation #28 (Longer Term): To support early ADS–B benefits with
DO–260-approved equipment, the FAA should further explore opportunities
within the ADS–B ground infrastructure/ATC automation to fuse data to
accommodate the lack of transmission of the Mode 3/A code.

ARC Recommendation #29 (Longer Term):
En Route 3nm Separation
• The FAA should develop
and implement the
requirements and
operational procedures
for 3 nm separation in all
domestic en route
airspace based on ADSB surveillance, before
the ADS–B Out
compliance date.

ARC Recommendation #31 (Longer Term):
Search and Rescue
• The FAA should explore the opportunity of
providing an enhancement to the emergency
locator transmitter (ELT)/search and rescue
operation by establishing an ADS-B tracking
service that could be used to aid in crash locating.
Surveillance and Broadcast Services
Federal Aviation
Administration
19
ARC Recommendation #27 (Longer Term):
ADS-B In
•
The NPRM is focused on ADS–
B Out and attempts to
establish the requirements of
ADS–B Out equipment so that
it is compatible with ADS–B In.
The FAA, in partnership with
industry, should define a
strategy for ADS–B In by 2012,
ensuring the strategy is
compatible with ADS–B Out
avionics. The FAA also should
ensure this program defines
how to proceed with ADS–B In
beyond the voluntary
equipage concept included in
the NPRM.

$9.3M Acquisition: Background
• The FY08 Conference Report accompanying
H.R. 3074 has provided additional funding
to the ADS-B program "specifically to
expedite air to air capabilities"
• FAA intends to utilize this funding to
demonstrate ADS-B capabilities in the areas
of surface conflict detection and cockpit
alert capabilities
