Background Broadcast Services: Traffic Information Service Broadcast / Flight Information Service Broadcast TIS-B is a service which provides ADS-B equipped aircraft with position reports from secondary surveillance radar on non-ads-b equipped aircraft. FIS-B transmits graphical National Weather Service products, temporary flight restrictions (TFRs), and special use airspace. 8

Low Altitude Coverage (77% installed) 16
Western Service Area Hawaii Alternative Analysis Problem statement: Hawaii's limited surveillance coverage, many areas of high-density air traffic, mountainous landscapes, and challenging weather contribute to the occurrence of aviation accidents. (Limited surveillance coverage to be verified by air traffic.) Alternatives Analysis Objectives: To determine cost-effective, technically beneficial way to provide services to aircraft flying air tour routes in Hawaii's mountainous landscape. Accident reduction Considerations of NTSB recommendation 17
Western Service Area - Helicopters in Juneau area 31 helicopters in the Juneau area ADS-B Equipped Benefits Enhanced Safety: provides real-time traffic and aeronautical information Improve Overall Flow Efficiency: allows for reduced separation and greater predictability in departure and arrival times Economic Benefits: Improved surveillance results in efficient flight tracks, less fuel consumption and increased hourly capacity Minimum Southeast Alaska Coverage, 5000ft. AGL Minimum Southeast Alaska Coverage, 1000ft. AGL 18
