Mode SData-LinkApplications for General Aviation
نویسنده
چکیده
• The Mode S data link is a high-capacity air-ground digital communications system that can deliver information to the cockpit in a form that will significantly improve pilot situational awareness and aircraft utility. The Federal Aviation Administration is currently deploying Mode S surveillance sensors with data-link capability at 143 sites across the United States. Two Mode S data-link applications-Traffic Information Service and Graphical Weather Service-have been developed to meet the specific needs of general aviation. Traffic Information Service uses the surveillance capability inherent in the Mode S sensor to provide the pilot with a display of nearby traffic. Graphical Weather Service provides a means to deliver real-time weather graphics to the cockpit. Additional Mode S data-link applications, including the broadcast of local-area differential corrections for the Global Satellite Navigation System and the use of the Mode S squitter for Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast, also offer significant benefits to general aviation. Low-cost avionics have been developed to support these and other Mode S data-link applications for general aviation.

Prevalence of and Trends for Dyslipidemia among Pilots from one Airline in China
Introduction: Most of previous studies on dyslipidemia among pilots were cross-sectional surveys which cannot explore the temporal trend of dyslipidemia, and these studies were normally conducted at least five years ago. In addition, studies focusing on pilots in Southwest China are scarce. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of and trends in dyslipidemia among pilots f...
متن کاملAccident Prevention Program
While general aviation flying is a safe mode of transportation, accident statistics indicate that the vast majority of accidents involve pilot error. In fact, most pilots who enjoy the adventure of flying recognize that certain risks are involved. Airmen who are either unaware of the potential hazards or who actually relish the opportunity to take unnecessary risks are those likely to be involv...
