Appendix C C-29<br />

2. As a reference point, RTCA DO-181D (EUROCAE ED-73C) <strong>Mode</strong>-S Transponders consider<br />

that the TCAS/ACAS System is operational when “MB” bit 16 of Register 1016 is set to “ONE” (1). This<br />

occurs when the transponder / TCAS/ACAS interface is operational <strong>and</strong> the transponder is receiving<br />

TCAS/ACAS RI=2, 3 or 4. (Refer to RTCA DO-181D (EUROCAE ED-73C), Appendix B, Table B-3-16.)<br />

RI=0 is STANDBY, RI=2 is TA ONLY <strong>and</strong> RI=3 is TA/RA.<br />

C.2.3.9.19 LNAV <strong>Mode</strong> Engaged<br />

The “LNAV <strong>Mode</strong> Engaged” subfield is a 1-bit (“ME” bit 54, Message bit 86) field that is used to indicate<br />

whether the Lateral Navigation <strong>Mode</strong> is active or not.<br />

a. The ADS-B Transmitting Subsystem accepts in<strong>for</strong>mation from an appropriate interface that<br />

indicates whether or not the Lateral Navigation <strong>Mode</strong> is active.<br />

b. The ADS-B Transmitting Subsystem sets the “ME” bit 54 (Message bit 86) in accordance with<br />

Table C-22.<br />

Coding<br />

Meaning<br />

0 LNAV <strong>Mode</strong> is NOT Active or Unknown<br />

1 LNAV <strong>Mode</strong> is Active<br />

C.2.3.10 AIRCRAFT OPERATIONAL STATUS MESSAGE<br />

Register 6516 contains an exact bit-<strong>for</strong>-bit duplicate of the Aircraft Operational Status Message <strong>Extended</strong><br />

<strong>Squitter</strong> (TYPE=31 <strong>and</strong> Subtype=0/1). The contents of the Aircraft Operational Status Message shall be<br />

<strong>for</strong>matted as specified Figure C-10, <strong>and</strong> described in the following paragraphs.<br />

C.2.3.10.1 Transmission Rate<br />

The rate at which the ADS-B Aircraft Operational Status Messages (TYPE=31 <strong>and</strong> Subtype=0/1) are<br />

broadcast is given <strong>for</strong> various conditions in the following subparagraphs. A summary of the transmission<br />

rates <strong>for</strong> all extended squitters is shown in Table C-35.<br />

Draft<br />

a. Airborne Aircraft Operational Status Messages (TYPE=31, Subtype=0) shall be broadcast at the rates<br />

given in the following subparagraphs when aircraft operational status in<strong>for</strong>mation is valid <strong>and</strong> when in<br />

the airborne state;<br />

(1). No Change in TCAS RA Active/NAC P/SIL/NIC SUPP Data:<br />

If there has been no change in the TCAS RA Active, NACP, SIL or NICSUPP in<strong>for</strong>mation provided in<br />

the Airborne Aircraft Operational Status Message (TYPE=31, Subtype=0), then the messages shall<br />

be broadcast at r<strong>and</strong>om intervals that are uni<strong>for</strong>mly distributed over the range of 2.4 to 2.6 seconds<br />

relative to the previous Airborne Aircraft Operational Status Message <strong>for</strong> as long as data is<br />

available to satisfy the requirements of subparagraph “a.” above.<br />

(2). Change in TCAS RA Active/NAC P/SIL/NIC SUPP Data with Target State <strong>and</strong> Status:<br />

If there has been a change in the TCAS RA Active, NAC P, SIL or NIC SUPP in<strong>for</strong>mation provided in<br />

the Airborne Aircraft Operational Status Message (TYPE=31, Subtype=0), <strong>and</strong> Target State <strong>and</strong><br />

Status Messages are being broadcast, then the Airborne Aircraft Operational Status Messages<br />

(TYPE=31, Subtype=0) shall be broadcast at r<strong>and</strong>om intervals that are uni<strong>for</strong>mly distributed over<br />

the range of 2.4 to 2.6 seconds relative to the previous Airborne Aircraft Operational Status<br />

Message <strong>for</strong> as long as data is available to satisfy the requirements of subparagraph “a.” above.<br />
