What exactly is ADS-B?

ADS-B is a broadcast surveillance system which differs from traditional transponders in that they will send out continuous signals (at least once per second) into the air around them, without needing to be interrogated by another unit first. These signals are rich with information including the aircraft's: identity (callsign), precise GPS location, altitude, and velocity.

Coloured Traffic Bubbles

Colour-coded features provide clarity at a glance. Our standard blue Traffic Bubble displays the callsign and altitude difference for other OzRunways subscribers currently broadcasting their position. ADS-B traffic however, appears in a slightly darker shade of blue, distinguishing it from OzRunways traffic. When OzRunways identifies your aircraft’s ADS-B OUT signal, the icon turns green to display your Own Ship position.

Endorsed by AMSA

ADS-B devices are trusted and recommended by industry professionals. Mick Kinley, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), emphasizes the benefits of ADS-B and encourages aircraft owners to take advantage of the rebate scheme. In an interview with Australian Flying, he stated,

“ADS-B data is another valuable tool used for SAR operations in Australia, which helps improve our ability to save lives.”
