NOTE

−

Enhanced surveillance capability is the ability of the aircraft to down-link aircraft derived data via a Mode S transponder.

Followed by one or more of the following codes if the aircraft has ADS-B capability:

B1 ADS-B with dedicated 1090 MHz ADS-B “out” capability
B2 ADS-B with dedicated 1090 MHz ADS-B “out” and “in” capability
U1 ADS-B “out” capability using UAT
U2 ADS-B “out” and “in” capability using UAT
V1 ADS-B “out” capability using VDL Mode 4
V2 ADS-B “out” and “in” capability using VDL Mode 4

NOTE

−

File no more than one code for each type of capability; for example, file B1 or B2,but not both.

Followed by one or more of the following codes if the aircraft has ADS-C capability:

D1 ADS-C with FANS 1/A capabilities
G1 ADS-C with ATN capabilities
