The system uses GPS signals to provide air trafficcontrollers and pilots with real-time location information to keep aircraftsafely separated in the sky and on runways. Both pilots and controllerswill see radar-like displays with highly accurate traffic data from satellites– displays that update once a second and don’t degrade with distanceor terrain. Eventually, with ADS-B, more of the responsibility for keepingsafe distances between aircraft will shift to pilots who will have cockpitdisplays pinpointing all the air traffic around them, along with localweather, terrain, and flight information. In addition to enabling pilots tofly with less input from air traffic controllers, ADS-B will allow controllersto better manage the flow of traffic. And, because ADS-B is a flexible andexpandable platform, it will be able to change and grow with the evolvingaviation system.Indiana State UniversityDepartment of AviationTechnology650 Cherry StreetMyers Technology Building Department of AviationTerre Haute, IN 47809(800) 833-5325Website: www.indstate.edu/aviation/Professional Aviation Board of Certification(PABC)PO Box 58250Houston, TX 77258(281) 326-3938Fax: (281) 326-6119Website: www.pabc.aeroRAA Representative: Peter J.
