21 Facts About ADS-B
2.
ADS-B equipment is mandatory for instrument flight rules category aircraft in Australian airspace; the United States has required many aircraft to be so equipped since January 2020; and, the equipment has been mandatory for some aircraft in Europe since 2017.

4.
ADS-B Out provides air traffic controllers with real-time position information that is, in most cases, more accurate than the information available with current radar-based systems.

7.
ADS-B makes flying significantly safer for the aviation community by providing pilots with improved situational awareness.
| FactSnippet No. 2,417,081 |
8.
Pilots in an ADS-B In equipped cockpit will have the ability to see, on their in-cockpit flight display, other traffic operating in the airspace as well as access to clear and detailed weather information.

10.
ADS-B technology provides a more accurate report of an aircraft's position.
| FactSnippet No. 2,417,084 |
11.
ADS-B is seen as a valuable technology to enhance airborne collision avoidance system operation.
| FactSnippet No. 2,417,085 |
12.
Security researcher claimed in 2012 that ADS-B has no defence against being interfered with via spoofed ADS-B messages because they were neither encrypted nor authenticated.
