Appendix C C-13<br />

C.2.3.2.5 NIC Supplement-B<br />

The first 5-bit field (“ME” bits 1 – 5, Message bits 33 – 37) in every <strong>Mode</strong> S <strong>Extended</strong> <strong>Squitter</strong> Message<br />

contains the <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE Code. The <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE Code differentiates the 1090ES Messages into several<br />

classes: Airborne Position, Airborne Velocity, Surface Position, Identification <strong>and</strong> Category, Aircraft Intent,<br />

Aircraft Status, etc. In addition, the <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE Code also encodes the Navigation Integrity Category (NIC)<br />

value of the source used <strong>for</strong> the position report.<br />

The NIC Supplement-B is a 1-bit (“ME” bit 8, Message bit 40) subfield in the Airborne Position Message that<br />

is used in conjunction with the TYPE Code <strong>and</strong> NIC value to allow surveillance applications to determine<br />

whether the reported geometric position has an acceptable level of integrity containment region <strong>for</strong> the<br />

intended use. The NIC integrity containment region is described horizontally using the radius of<br />

containment, RC. The <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE Code also differentiates the Airborne Messages as to the type of their<br />

altitude measurements: barometric pressure altitude or GNSS height (HAE). The 5-bit encoding <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>mat<br />

TYPE Code <strong>and</strong> related NIC values con<strong>for</strong>ms to the definition contained in Table C-28. If an update has not<br />

been received from an on-board data source <strong>for</strong> the determination of the TYPE Code value based on the<br />

radius of containment within the past 2 seconds, then the TYPE Code value shall be encoded to indicate that<br />

RC is “Unknown.”<br />

C.2.3.3 SURFACE POSITION FORMAT<br />

The Surface Position squitter shall be <strong>for</strong>matted as specified in the definition of Register 0616 in Figure C-2,<br />

<strong>and</strong> described in the following paragraphs.<br />

C.2.3.3.1 Movement<br />

This 7-bit field (“ME” bits 6 – 12, Message bits 38 – 44) shall provide in<strong>for</strong>mation on the Ground Speed of the<br />

aircraft. A non-linear scale shall be used as defined in the Table C-3, where speeds are given in km/h (kt).<br />

C.2.3.3.2 Heading<br />

C.2.3.3.2.1 Heading/Ground Track Status<br />

This one bit field (“ME” bit 13, Message bit 45) shall define the validity of the Heading/Ground Track value.<br />

Coding <strong>for</strong> this field shall be as follows: 0=not valid <strong>and</strong> 1= valid.<br />
