surveillance systems than radar to be discussed, such as
ADS−B.

Clarifies the definition of Class C airspace.
d. 4−1−19. Transponder Operation
Advises the need to operate with transponders transmitting
continuously while moving on the airport surface at
ASDE−X facilities.
e. 4−2−14. Communications for VFR Flights
123.6 and 123.65 were the authorized airport advisory
frequencies; however, the Office of Spectrum Policy and
