51 SUMMER 2025/2026 | December-January-February SKY SAILOR What is ADS-B – Automatic Dependent Surveillance– Broadcast? ADS-B is an interesting radio surveillance technology and its adoption throughout the aviation landscape looks more like a patchwork quilt where a number of the patches are just blank holes. CASA has a very good resource page about ADS-B – www.casa.gov.au/opera- tions-safety-and-travel/airspace/auto- matic-dependent-surveillance-broad- cast-ads-b In these pages you can find all the relevant information you need to know about the topic. I commend it to you to go and investigate. If you want to read a very comprehen- sive article wrapping what it is, how it works and the pros and cons, look at this article in CASA’s own safety magazine: www.flightsafetyaustralia.com/2025/11/ ads-b-can-you-be-seen/
