 ADS-B Out Progression Summary
DO-260 (TSO-C166):
• Initial ADS-B Out specification
• Transmits Surface / Airborne position and velocity twice per second with NUC
which represents position integrity or position accuracy.
• Transmits Flight ID once every 5 seconds
DO-260A (TSO-C166a):
• Removes ambiguity in navigational uncertainty transmission – improves accuracy
of aircraft location
• Recommends an ADS-B On/Off flight deck switch
DO-260B (TSO-C166b): Available 1Q2010
• Improves integrity/accuracy quality information (reporting)
• Adds TCAS Resolution Advisories in progress
• Adds Barometric Pressure Setting
• Expands Mode A code squitter transmission from only North America to global
• Adds support for future Radar Airspace and Surface applications
• Adds a new single antenna class of transmitter/receiver to support General
Aviation applications without requiring diversity
• Recommends an In-Air determination for all aircraft (GA was previously excluded)
• Recommends an independent ADS-B fail flight deck indication
• Discourages an ADS-B On/Off flight deck switch

• ADS-B can provide Courtesy of

• more information
• wider range (up to 250 NM) than current TCAS is currently
capable to provide (40 to 80 NM).
• intruders direction represented by an oriented symbol

• Merge TCAS and ADS-B when both available to provide

a unique traffic symbol to the flight crew
