Appendix A A-15<br />

The transponder shall load the altitude field of the airborne position squitter from the same digital source as used <strong>for</strong><br />

addressed replies.<br />

Note.— This is done to minimize the possibility that the altitude in the squitter is different from the altitude that would<br />

be obtained by direct interrogation.<br />

If the GFM (2.5) inserts GNSS height (HAE) into the airborne position squitter, it shall instruct the transponder not to<br />

insert the barometric altitude into the altitude field. The ATS subfield shall be set to ONE <strong>for</strong> this purpose.<br />

A.2.3.7 EVENT-DRIVEN PROTOCOL<br />

The event-driven protocol register shall be as specified in the definition of transponder register number 0A16 in §A.2.5.5<br />

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

A.2.3.7.1 PURPOSE<br />

DRAFT - Working Paper ASP TSGWP11-01 <strong>for</strong> review by the TSG during the meeting in June 2011 in Paris<br />

The event-driven protocol shall be used as a flexible means to support the broadcast of messages beyond those defined<br />

<strong>for</strong> position, velocity, <strong>and</strong> identification.<br />

Note.— These typically will be messages that are broadcast regularly <strong>for</strong> a period of time based on the occurrence<br />

of an event. An example is the broadcast of emergency/priority status every second during a declared aircraft<br />

emergency. A second example is the periodic broadcast of intent in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> the duration of the operational<br />

condition.<br />

A.2.3.8 EMERGENCY/PRIORITY STATUS<br />

The emergency/priority status squitter shall be <strong>for</strong>matted as specified in the definition of transponder register number<br />

6116 <strong>and</strong> in the following paragraphs.<br />

A.2.3.8.1 TRANSMISSION RATE<br />

Draft<br />

This message shall be broadcast once per second <strong>for</strong> the duration of the emergency.<br />

A.2.3.8.2 MESSAGE DELIVERY<br />

Message delivery shall be accomplished using the event-driven protocol (see §A.2.3.7). The broadcast of this message<br />

shall take priority over the event-driven protocol broadcast of all other message types, as specified in §A.2.5.5.3.<br />

A.2.3.9 RESERVED<br />

A.2.3.10 RESERVED<br />

A.2.3.11 AIRCRAFT OPERATIONAL STATUS<br />

The aircraft operational status message squitter shall be <strong>for</strong>matted as specified in the definition of register number 6516<br />

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