ADS-B Avionics for General Aviation
Setting the Scene
General Aviation does equip with Mode-S Transponders.
IFR mandatory transponder equipage >31.03.2007
VFR mandatory transponder equipage >31.03.2008
Suitable systems are available from manufacturers like Garmin, Honeywell, Filser, Becker or Garrecht. Some of them have ADS-B OUT capability (Filser provides NMEA interface to GPS receivers). However, only certified GPS sources may be used.
Since not all aircraft will have ADS-B OUT capabilities at the same time, the introduction of Traffic Information Service Broadcast (TIS-B) is discussed for an intermediate period.
Still, the increasing availability of ADS-B OUT and TIS-B now enables as well a presentation of traffic information in the cockpit (Cockpit Display of Traffic Information). Respectively qualified equipment (i.e. Mode-S receivers and CDTIs) enters the market.
Expertise
Our Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) technology has been developed in many years of research in several projects (e.g. in FARAWAY, or in TAGA with a special focus on General Aviation) where usability has been demonstrated in the respective flight trials.
Euro Telematik‘s CDTIs have been used in a large variety of evaluation projects (e.g. NUP II in Scandinavia and in Austria, MEDUP and MFF in the Mediterranean area, the Australian Lower Airspace Program).
Just recently Euro Telematik has delivered its CDTIs with integrated TIS-B functionality to Eurocontrol in the frame of the CASCADE/CRISTAL Programme. This project is carried out in co-operation with Selex Communications providing the 1090 receiver.

Conclusion
Euro Telematik’s Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) technology has been developed in many years of research in several projects where usability has been demonstrated in the respective flight trials.
Euro Telematik‘s CDTIs are used in a large variety of technology evaluation projects. A partnership with Avionik Straubing now enables to demonstrate the benefits of ADS-B for GA customers.
ADS-B OUT is reality - Avionics and ground equipment exists, final certification issues are currently being addressed.
ADS-B IN is here as well: the TSOed CDTI-2000 is available NOW. In co-operation with a 1090ES Receiver the benefits of ADS-B IN (including TIS-B) can be exploited today by operators and air traffic service providers.
