Rockwell Collins has received the
first FAA Technical Standard Order TSO-C166 approval for ADS-B
functionality on Mode-S transponders. This approval enables
enhanced traffic situational awareness on the airport surface and
during flight; visual acquisition for see and avoid, sequencing and
merging, crossing and passing operations, and oceanic in-trail
procedures.
Rockwell Collins TDR-94/94D (-108 versions) are the first
transponders to be fully compliant with the international RTCA DO -
260A standard. The implementation of this standard ensures the
integrity and accuracy of data necessary to fully support future
surveillance applications proposed for airspace modernization,
including Air Traffic Control surveillance in en-route, terminal
area, non-radar area and surface movement domains.
In addition, Rockwell Collins TDR 94/94D transponders are approved
by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in accordance with
ETSO-2C112A and are compliant with the latest draft ETSO-2C112B
standards to support both Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance.
Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance allows the transponder to
reply to ground-based Secondary Surveillance Radar interrogations
supplying air traffic controllers with enhanced surveillance
information. The TDR-94/94D continues to support TCAS II
functions.
Operators with existing Pro Line radio installations can update
the TDR-94/94D transponders through appropriate service
bulletins.
