Publisher's Synopsis
ADS-B is transforming all segments of aviation. Real-time precision shared situational awareness, advanced applications for pilots and controllers alike - these are the hallmarks of ADS-B NextGen surveillance. ADS-B improves safety and efficiency in the air and on runways, reduces costs, and lessens harmful effects on the environment.
Any tool, including this book, that will aid in situational awareness should be utilized to enhance safety. As the airways get more congested with manned and unmanned traffic, technology such as ADS-B monitoring should be utilized.sUAS will not have ADS-B (Out) so it is vitally important to watch and listen for sUAS traffic on every flight. Keep in mind that not all manned aircraft will have ADS-B (Out). If you are flying in Class G airspace outside of a Mode C veil, you will need to be diligent to watch and listen for manned and as well as unmanned aircraft.
