CD-8 <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Provisions</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> S <strong>Services</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Extended</strong> <strong>Squitter</strong><br />

providing the aircraft identification fails, the aircraft identification in<strong>for</strong>mation will no longer be available in the surveillance<br />

data flow. In this case, the following means could enable the ground system to continue correlating the surveillance <strong>and</strong><br />

flight plan in<strong>for</strong>mation of a given target.<br />

If the aircraft identification is used to correlate surveillance <strong>and</strong> flight plan data, extra in<strong>for</strong>mation such as the <strong>Mode</strong> A<br />

code, if any, <strong>and</strong> the ICAO 24-bit aircraft address of the target could be provided to the flight data processing system.<br />

This would enable the update of the flight plan of the target with this extra in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

In case the aircraft identification becomes unavailable, it would still be possible to correlate both data flows using (<strong>for</strong><br />

example) the ICAO 24-bit aircraft address in<strong>for</strong>mation to per<strong>for</strong>m the correlation. It is there<strong>for</strong>e recommended that<br />

ground systems update the flight plan of a target with extra identification in<strong>for</strong>mation that is available in the surveillance<br />

data flow, e.g. the ICAO 24-bit aircraft address, the <strong>Mode</strong> A code (if any) or the tail number (if available from transponder<br />

register 2116).<br />

This extra identification in<strong>for</strong>mation might then be used in lieu of the aircraft identification in<strong>for</strong>mation contained in<br />

transponder register 2016 in case the data source providing this in<strong>for</strong>mation fails.<br />

D.2.4.3.3 IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR IDENTIFICATION REGISTER 0816<br />

If <strong>Extended</strong> <strong>Squitter</strong> is implemented, then §A.2.1 Note 3 <strong>and</strong> §A.2.4.2 Note 2 provide an introduction to Register 0816<br />

implementation. Implementation of Register 0816 should also consider the following:<br />

a. If valid Flight Identification data is available, then the data should be used to populate the character subfields in<br />

Register 0816.<br />

b. After using Flight Identification data to populate the character subfields in Register 0816 in a given power-on cycle, if<br />

Flight Identification data becomes invalid or not available, then the last known valid Flight Identification data should<br />

be retained <strong>and</strong> used to continue population of the character subfields in Register 0816 <strong>for</strong> the duration of the poweron<br />

cycle.<br />

c. If valid Flight Identification data is not available, but valid Aircraft Registration data is available in a given power-on<br />

cycle, then the valid Aircraft Registration data should be used to populate the character subfields in Register 0816 <strong>for</strong><br />

the duration of the power-on cycle.<br />

d. If Register 0816 has been populated using Aircraft Registration data in a given power-on cycle, <strong>and</strong> valid Flight<br />

Identification data becomes available, then the Flight Identification data should be used to populate the character<br />

subfields in Register 0816 <strong>for</strong> the remainder of the power-on cycle.<br />

e. Once valid Flight Identification data has been used to populate Register 0816 in a given power-on cycle, Aircraft<br />

Registration data should not be used to populate the character subfields of Register 0816, even if Flight Identification<br />

data becomes invalid or not available during the power-on cycle.<br />

CD.2.4.4 TRANSPONDER REGISTER NUMBER 4016<br />

Paragraph §CD.2.4.4.1 gives a general example of what are the different selected altitudes <strong>and</strong> the relationship with the<br />

target altitude <strong>and</strong> introduces the meaning of the different parameters <strong>and</strong> notions used in this section.<br />

Paragraphs §CD.2.4.4.2, §CD.2.4.4.3 <strong>and</strong> §CD.2.4.4.4 provide more detailed in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> some specific plat<strong>for</strong>ms.<br />

CD.2.4.4.1 GENERAL EXAMPLE FOR THE LOADING OF DATA IN REGISTER 4016<br />

Figure CD-2 provides a general example <strong>for</strong> the loading of data in Register 4016.<br />

The goal of Figure CD-2 is to clarify the differences between the FMS selected altitude <strong>and</strong> the FCU/MCP selected<br />

altitude, <strong>and</strong> also to clarify how the target altitude of the aircraft <strong>and</strong> the MCP/FCU mode bits are determined depending<br />

on the phase of flight in the vertical profile.<br />

Notions <strong>and</strong> terms used:<br />

— Cleared flight level: Flight level cleared by the controller, i.e. the flight level aircraft should reach <strong>and</strong> maintain.<br />
