The objective of this program is to incentivise voluntary uptake of ADS-B equipment in Australian–registered aircraft operating under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to improve safety and efficiency for Australian airspace users.
The program will provide:
- better situational awareness for pilots through improved electronic visibility of nearby airborne VFR aircraft;
enhanced search and rescue capabilities through improved air traffic information; - air traffic controllers with additional and accurate automated aircraft position information of VFR aircraft.
The program funds two classes of eligible ADS-B equipment:
- installed ADS-B equipment that air traffic controllers can use for aircraft separation purposes (referred to as ADS-B);
- portable ADS-B equipment for local electronic traffic information purposes (referred to as ADS-B EC).
