type Notes<br />
Note 1.— “Barometric altitude” refers to barometric pressure-altitude, relative to a st<strong>and</strong>ard pressure of 1 013.25<br />
hectopascals (29.92 in Hg). It does not refer to barometric corrected altitude.<br />
Note 2.— TYPE Codes 20 to 22 or TYPE Code 0 are to be used when valid “Barometric altitude” is not available.<br />
Note 3.— After initialization, when horizontal position in<strong>for</strong>mation is not available but altitude in<strong>for</strong>mation is<br />
available, the airborne position message is transmitted with a TYPE Code of ZERO in bits 1-5, the barometric pressurealtitude<br />
in bits 9 to 20, <strong>and</strong> bits 22 to 56 set to ZERO. If neither horizontal position nor barometric altitude in<strong>for</strong>mation is<br />
available, then all 56 bits of Register 05 {HEX} are set to ZERO. The ZERO (binary 00000) TYPE Code field indicates<br />
that latitude <strong>and</strong> longitude in<strong>for</strong>mation is not available, while the ZERO altitude field indicates that altitude in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
is not available.<br />
Note 4.— If the position source is an ARINC 743A GNSS receiver, then the ARINC 429 data “label 130” data word<br />
from that receiver is a suitable source of in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> RC, the horizontal integrity containment radius. (The label 130<br />
data word is variously called HPL (Horizontal Protection Limit) or HIL (Autonomous Horizontal Integrity Limit) in different<br />
documents).<br />
Note 5.— This TYPE Code value implies limits <strong>for</strong> both RC (horizontal containment limit) <strong>and</strong> VPL (Vertical<br />
Protection Limit). If either of these limits is not satisfied, then a different value <strong>for</strong> the TYPE Code is selected.<br />
Note 6.— The “NIC supplement” field in the Aircraft Operational Status Message (see §B.2.3.10) enables the<br />
Report Assembly Function in ADS-B Receiving Subsystems to determine whether the ADS-B Transmitting Subsystem is<br />
announcing NIC = 8 (RC < 0.1 NM) or NIC = 9 (RC < 75 m).<br />
Note 7.— The “NIC supplement” field in the Aircraft Operational Status Message (see §B.2.3.10) enables the<br />
Report Assembly Function in ADS-B Receiving Subsystems to determine whether the ADS-B Transmitting Subsystem is<br />
announcing NIC = 2 (RC < 8 NM) or NIC = 3 (RC < 4 NM).<br />
Draft<br />
Note 86.— The term “broadcast” as used in this appendix, refers to a spontaneous transmission by the transponder.<br />
This is distinct from the Comm-B broadcast protocol.<br />
Note 7.— The position quality in Version 1 extended squitter messages is provided by the Navigational Accuracy<br />
Category (NACP), Navigational Integrity Category (NIC), NIC Supplement, <strong>and</strong> Surveillance Integrity Level (SIL)<br />
parameters.<br />
Note 8.— NACP provides an indication of position accuracy, while SIL, NIC, <strong>and</strong> the NIC Supplement in combination<br />
provide an indication of the integrity associated with the broadcast position. NACP, SIL, <strong>and</strong> the NIC Supplement are<br />
transmitted in the <strong>Extended</strong> <strong>Squitter</strong> Aircraft Operational Status Message. NACP <strong>and</strong> SIL are also transmitted in the<br />
Target State <strong>and</strong> Status Message. NIC is determined from the message Type Code. The NIC Supplement is used with<br />
some values of NIC to distinguish between two possible values of the containment radius. In the absence of the NIC<br />
Supplement the higher NIC containment radius should be used.<br />
