Enhancing Aircraft Safety with ADS-B.

Aviation safety is a top priority in the airline industry and continuous innovations are being made to improve safety measures. One significant innovation in aviation safety is the implementation of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) system.

ADS-B is a surveillance technology that uses GPS to track an aircraft's position, altitude, and velocity. Unlike traditional radar systems, ADS-B does not rely on ground-based radar and transponders but instead broadcasts information directly from the aircraft to air traffic control and other aircraft equipped with ADS-B receivers.

This innovation in aviation safety has numerous benefits. One significant advantage is that ADS-B provides more accurate and realtime tracking of aircraft, enabling air traffic controllers to monitor and manage air traffic more effectively. This system also enhances safety in areas with limited radar coverage, such as mountainous regions or over the ocean, where radar...
