.  
Be sure not to confuse controls when operating the ATC/TCAS control panel. Refer to Safety First Magazine, Edition #4, June 2007 “Do you know your ATC/TCAS panel?” (See AIRBUS References).

.  
Refer to Part III, Section 3, Chapter 1 of Aircraft Operations – Flight Procedures, ICAO Doc 8168-OPS/611, Volume I for guidelines related to transponder operations (see References).

2.5.2. ADS-B OPERATIONS
2.5.2.1. FOR THE AIRLINE
.  Make sure that your flight crews are familiar with ADS-B (e.g. technology, phraseology, routine and emergency procedures as published in AIP, etc). Refer to (see References):
o  Eurocontrol Flight Crew Guidance for Flight Operations in ADS-B only Surveillance Airspaces.

o  Airservices Australia Flight Operations Information Package and CASA Pilot Information Booklet.

.  Ensure that the operational documentation (AFM, MEL, FCOM) is correctly updated.
.  Ensure that the aircraft 24-bit address is correctly set in avionics. Instead of the flight number filled in the ICAO flight plan, ANSP may use the 24-bit address to correlate the aircraft with its logged flight plan. The 24-bit address is delivered with the aircraft registration number. The operator should periodically check the 24-bit address and when the State of registration changes.
.  Refer to the ADS-B OUT Capability Declaration to support the operational
approval process. Refer to 2.6.2 – Operational Approval of ADS-B OUT.
.  Refer to OIT 999.0057/08/BB (See AIRBUS References).

2.5.2.2. FOR THE FLIGHT CREW
. Make sure that the flight number in the FMS INIT A page matches the flight number filled in the item 7 of the ICAO flight plan. Use ICAO format (i.e. three-letter code), do not use IATA format (i.e. two-letter code). Refer to Appendix 2 of ICAO Doc 4444 – PANS ATM (see References).ANSP systems are able to process ICAO format only. The flight number is up to seven characters long. Do not add any leading zeros, dashes or spaces. According to the FMS standard on board, it may not be possible to modify the flight number when airborne. Note: With the first generation of FMS, the flight crew cannot change the flight number when the aircraft is airborne. The in-service experience shows that frequent errors are made when entering the flight number into the avionics worldwide. And ATC controllers detect the errors when the aircraft is airborne. Consequently, the new generation of FMS permits to easily change the flight number when

airborne. The capable FMS standard are the Honeywell FMS2 P2 onwards and the Thalès FMS2 Rev2 onwards.
.  
Insert “CODE/” followed by the 24-bit address (hexadecimal format) in item 18 of the ICAO flight plan as required by local requirements.

.  
Declare ADS-B capability in the ICAO flight plan by inserting “/D” in item 10. “/D” designates the ADS capability (either ADS-C or ADS-B). Local Authorities may require the insertion of “RMK/ADS-B” in item 18 to clearly identify the ADS-B capability. Please refer to AIP.
