Good day everyone. If you can, please help us get the word out on the new March/April 2017 issue of FAA Safety Briefing. A cover image is also attached. Any assistance to help us spread the word would be greatly appreciated.
The March/April 2017 issue of FAA Safety Briefing focuses on Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) technology, a foundational component of FAAs NextGen system for improving the safety and efficiency of the NAS. Articles cover the myriad safety and technology benefits ADS-B offers, as well as provide important details on the purchase, installation, and operation of ADS-B equipment.
Feature articles include:
ADS-B 101 What It Is, and What It Means To You (p. 8)
Getting It Right What You Need to Know About ADS-B Installation Errors (p. 11)
Everyone Loves a Rebate The FAAs General Aviation ADS-B Rebate Program Explained (p. 14)
Whats In a Name? How to Avoid an ADS-B Call Sign Mismatch (p.18)
Top 10 Things You Need to Know About ADS-B Quick Tips and Information for GA Aircraft (p.22)
In the March/April Jumpseat department, Flight Standards Service Director John Duncan highlights some important reasons to not procrastinate when it comes to meeting the Jan. 1, 2020 deadline for ADS-B Out, while the Angle of Attack department covers the important role ADS-B plays in helping mitigate mid-air collisions. In Nuts, Bolts, and Electrons, we look at three techniques that can help AMTs avoid errors during the set up and installation of an ADS-B Out system.
The Vertically Speaking department explains how the advent of ADS-B has helped keep helicopter operations safer and more efficient and outlines how the FAA is helping to streamline the ADS-B installation process for those in the rotorcraft community. And in our editors perspective department, Postflight, editor-in-chief Susan Parson provides an ADS-B PIREP on her DC-area flying clubs strategy for finding the optimal ADS-B solution for their Cessna 182.
Our ADS-B themed issue of FAA Safety Briefing wraps up with a profile of Aviation Safety Inspector Jim Marks, the ADS-B Focus Team lead in the FAAs Aircraft Maintenance Division. Marks is also the driving force behind development of the ADS-B Performance Monitor, a tool that allows the agencys Flight Standards Service to provide regulatory oversight of the rule and data to support equipage reporting and the general aviation ADS-B Out rebate program.
