Rebroadcast (ADS
−
R)
a. Introduction.
ADS
−
R is a datalink translation function of the ADS
−
B ground system required to accommodate the two separate
operating frequencies (978 MHz and 1090 ES). The ADS
−
B system receives the ADS
−
B messages transmitted
on one frequency and ADS
−
R translates and reformats the information for rebroadcast and use on the other
frequency. This allows ADS
−
B In equipped aircraft to see nearby ADS
−
B Out traffic regardless of the operating
link of the other aircraft. Aircraft operating on the same ADS
−
B frequency exchange information directly and
do not require the ADS
−
R translation function. (See FIG 4
8.)
b. Reports of ADS
−
R Malfunctions.
Users of ADS–R can provide valuable assistance in the correction of malfunctions by reporting instances of
undesirable system performance. Since ADS–R performance is monitored by maintenance personnel rather than
ATC, report malfunctions to the nearest Flight Service Station (FSS) facility by radio or telephone, or by sending
an email to the ADS
−
B help desk at adsb@faa.gov. Reports should include:
1.
Condition observed;
2.
Date and time of observation;
3.
Altitude and location of observation;
4.
Type and call sign of the aircraft and;
5.
Type and software version of avionics system.
