1.  REFERENCES
Refer to Appendix A to this AC.
2.  PURPOSE
This AC is intended to define the airborne component of the 1090 Megahertz Extended Squitter Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) data link for use in Australia, and provide guidance and advice for the airworthiness approval of aircraft equipment proposed to support that use.
3.  STATUS OF THIS AC
This is the first AC to be written on this matter.
Advisory Circulars are intended to provide advice and guidance to illustrate a means, but not necessarily the only means, of complying with the Regulations, or to explain certain regulatory requirements by providing informative, interpretative and explanatory material.
Where an AC is referred to in a ‘Note’ below the regulation, the AC remains as guidance material.
ACs should always be read in conjunction with the referenced regulations.
