[VoloaVela] R: ADS-B

[vpozzoli a inwind.it]

E' proprio vero che i giornalisti quando scrivono di aviazione non sanno nemmeno di cosa parlano, e non solo in Italia:
"Before the installation of ADS-B in the Gulf, controllers were  required to maintain a 120-mile separation between aircraft."
120 Miglia (200 chilometri) di separazione orizzontale. Alla faccia della turbolenza di scia!
Naturalmente il valore reale attuale è di 12 miglia nautiche.

La FAA sta portando avanti il programma di implementazione del ADS-B, nei giorni scorsi è stato coperto il Golfo del Messico. Come vedete dalle dichiarazioni, quest'anno si prevedono altre due aree per poi completare la copertura nel 2013.

Se non mi sono perso qualcosa non mi risulta che in Europa si sia presa una decisione definitiva sull'argomento, sarà interessante vedere cosa succederà...



ADS-B Debuts in Gulf of Mexico
		On January 12, 2010, FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt announced that
 an improved satellite-based system – Automatic Dependent 
Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) – is now being used to more efficiently 
and safely separate and manage aircraft flying over the Gulf of Mexico. 
 
 
"This is a significant, early step toward NextGen," Administrator 
Babbitt said. "We're delivering on time, a system that's not only more 
accurate than radar but comes with significant safety and efficiency 
benefits. This will save time and money for aircraft operators and 
passengers and reduce our carbon footprint."
		Before the installation of ADS-B in the Gulf, controllers were 
required to maintain a 120-mile separation between aircraft. The new 
technology shrinks that to only five nautical miles, while increasing 
safety. The agency also can now provide more direct routes, which 
reduces fuel costs and improves efficiency.
		This is the nation’s second major installation of ADS-B equipment. 
Controllers at Louisville International Airport started using the 
technology last fall. This year, ADS-B is expected to become operational
 at Philadelphia International Airport, as well as in Juneau, Alaska. It
 is expected to be available nationwide by 2013. _________________________________________Miriano
