Notes.–<br />
1. The term “minimum update rate” is used in the document. The minimum update rate is obtained when data is<br />
loaded in one register field once every maximum update interval.<br />
2. Register 0A16 is not to be used <strong>for</strong> GICB or ACAS crosslink readout.<br />
3. If <strong>Extended</strong> <strong>Squitter</strong> is implemented, then Register 0816 is not cleared or ZEROed once either Flight Identification or<br />
Aircraft Registration data has been loaded into the Register during the current power-on cycle. Register 0816 is not<br />
cleared since it provides in<strong>for</strong>mation that is fundamental to track file management in the ADS-B environment. Refer to<br />
§C.2.4.3.3 <strong>for</strong> implementation guidelines regarding Register 0816.<br />
4. These registers define version 1 extended squitters.<br />
B.2.2 GENERAL CONVENTIONS ON DATA FORMATS<br />
General conventions on data <strong>for</strong>mats shall be as specified in §A.2.2.<br />
B.2.3 EXTENDED SQUITTER FORMATS<br />
Draft<br />
This section defines the <strong>for</strong>mats <strong>and</strong> coding that shall be used <strong>for</strong> extended squitter ADS-B messages. When the<br />
extended squitter capability is implemented as an extended squitter/non-transponder device (ES/NT, Annex 10, Volume<br />
IV, §3.1.2.8.7), the convention <strong>for</strong> register numbering shall not be required. However, the data content <strong>and</strong> the transmit<br />
times <strong>for</strong> any ES/NT device shall be the same as specified <strong>for</strong> the transponder case.<br />
B.2.3.1 FORMAT TYPE CODES<br />
The first 5-bit (“ME” bits 1–5, Message bits 33–37) field in every <strong>Mode</strong> S extended squitter message shall contain the<br />
<strong>for</strong>mat TYPE. The <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE shall differentiate the messages into several classes: Airborne Position, Airborne<br />
Velocity, Surface Position, Identification, Aircraft Intent, Aircraft State, etc. In addition, the <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE shall also<br />
encode the Navigation Integrity Category (NIC) of the source used <strong>for</strong> the position report. The <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE shall also<br />
differentiate the Airborne Messages as to the TYPE of their altitude measurements: barometric pressure-altitude or<br />
GNSS height (HAE). The 5-bit encoding <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE shall con<strong>for</strong>m to the definition contained in the following table:<br />
