1.2. ADS-B Background
ADS-B Background
Putting it in a simple form, AirNav RadarBox consists of an hardware that decodes ADS-B data and sends its to your
computer where a software processes it and shows it on 3D interface.
Received data may be shared between users using the AirNav Systems RadarBox network. This way you will be able
to see data received from users all over the world.
What is ADS-B?
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (also called ADS-B) is a system by which airplanes constantly broadcast
their current position and altitude, category of aircraft, airspeed, identification, and whether the aircraft is turning,
climbing or descending over a dedicated radio datalink. This functionality is known as "ADS-B out" and is the basic
level of ADS-B functionality.
The current ADS-B system was developed in the 1990s though its lineage dates back to the 1960s. It relies on data
from the Global Positioning System, or any navigation system that provides an equivalent or better service. The
maximum range of the system is line-of-sight, typically less than 200 nautical miles (370 km).
The ADS-B transmissions are received by air traffic control stations, and all other ADS-B equipped aircraft within
reception range. Reception by aircraft of ADS-B data is known as "ADS-B in".
The initial use of ADS-B is expected to be by air traffic control and for surveillance purposes and for enhancing pilot
situational awareness. ADS-B is lower cost than conventional radar and permits higher quality surveillance of airborne
and surface movements. ADS-B is effective in remote areas or in mountainous terrain where there is no radar
coverage, or where radar coverage is limited. The outback of Australia is one such area where ADS-B will provide
surveillance where previously none existed. ADS-B also enhances surveillance on the airport surface, so it can also be
used to monitor traffic on the taxiways and runways of an airport.
ADS-B equipped aircraft may also have a display unit in the cockpit picturing surrounding air traffic from ADS-B data
(ADS-B in) and TIS-B (Traffic Information Service-Broadcast) data derived from air traffic radar. Both Pilots and air

traffic controllers will then be able to "see" the positions of air traffic in the vicinity of the aircraft, and this may be
used to provide an ASAS (Airborne Separation Assurance System).
Airborne Collision Avoidance Systems may in the future also make use of "ADS-B in", supplementing the existing TCAS
collision avoidance system by what is called 'hybrid surveillance'.
Airbus and Boeing are expected to include ADS-B out (i.e. the transmitter of information) as standard on new-build
aircraft from 2005 onwards.

3. Hardware
3.1. Hardware Lights
Hardware Lights
In this section you will find the meaning of the three hardware lights (LED) that your RadarBox hardware contains.
Normal conditions:
In normal conditions (hardware connected to your computer, drivers correctly installed and software running) the
green light will be always on, the blue line will be on each time there is data being transfered from the hardware to
your computer and the white light will be on each time there is data being received from aircraft.
Green LED:
This is the most important light. When on it means that hardware is properly powered.
AirNav RadarBox hardware uses power from your USB connection. There is no need for external power or batteries.
In normal conditions this light should always be on. If it is not on a problem in your USB cable may exist.
Blue LED:
This LED indicates the status of the USB connection. For example it may show if the hardware is properly connected
to your computer and if the USB connection is valid. Status condition below.
Note that in normal conditions (hardware on, drivers installed and software working) the blue light will blink anytime
the is data being transfered by USB from the hardware to your computer on in the reverse way.
• Blinking at a one time per second rate:
It will be on half a second and off half a second. Means that the hardware is being powered by the computer but
there is no valid connection between them. may happen because your computer's USB controller is not properly
installed or because there is a problem in your USB cable. If none of these conditions apply then the AirNav
RadarBox driver is not properly installed. For more information on how to properly install the drivers please go to
the Installation section
• Fast blinking (approximately five times per second)
The hardware is properly connected to your computer (USB controller working) but the AirNav RadarBox Driver not
installed or not working. For more information on how to properly install the drivers please go to the Installation
section
• Blue light Off
If the light is permanently off (and the green light is permanently on) then the hardware is ready to start working
and the AirNav RadarBox software is not yet started / receiving data from the hardware.
• Blinking one time per second
Hardware properly connected to your computer and AirNav RadarBox software is working but no flights being
received. By default the light will always blink at a one time per second rate
AirNav RadarBox 2007 Manual

AirNav® Systems – World Leader in Flight Tracking and Monitoring
www.airnavsystems.com
White LED:
Blinks anytime there a mode-S signal is received from an aircraft and decoded with success. The more this LED blinks
the more information is received from aircraft.
In highly congested airspace areas this lights will be on 95% of the time! During the test period the development
team has received more than 50 mode-s messages per second.

4. Tasks
4.1. Connecting to AirNav RadarBox Network
Connecting to AirNav RadarBox Network
Introduction
AirNav RadarBox Network is a unique feature that enables to view data other RadarBox users are receiving all over
the world.
It is the first worldwide flight radar flight data ever developed. You are experimenting new technology never used
before.
How it works? Each AirNav RadarBox user can share its data to other users. Data received will be processed and after
passing some validation algorithms it is then stores on a queue for server upload. Data is then uploaded 5 minutes
after it has been received. On our server we have a powerful application called "AirNav Network Server" which
processes up to 10000 flight messages per second in peak periods. Data is then organized and properly processed (to
add to each flight and aircraft has many details as possible - aircraft type, registration flight routing, photos) and an
output file is created. Each connected client will then be able to download the updated list of network flights. This list
often has more than 500 flights worldwide. Of course the list is growing daily as soon the application gets more
popular.
You will be able to track flights over Europe, North America, Asia, South America and more: in other words you will be
able to see flights wherever a RadarBox user is.
Please note that due to security reasons data you receive from the RadarBox network is has an artificial delay of 5
minutes. So what you see on the screen is always delayed 5 minutes.
This does not apply to the data received directly from your RadarBox hardware decoder. This is real-time without any
kind of delay.
If you receive a flight on your RadarBox hardware and this flight information is also available on the data download
from the network then your flight information will prevail and the network data will be ignored.
What details will I see for each flight?
For each flight you will see:
• ACARS sign meaning if the flight has any ACARS messages (for more go to ACARS Decoder interface)
• Globe sign: when shown position information is available so the flight is being tracked on the maps
• Status: flight status information
• Mode S: the mode S code for this aircraft
• Country flag: the flag of the country where the aircraft is registered
• Flight ID: the flight number / callsign for this flight
• Registration: tail number of the aircraft
• Aircraft: type of aircraft in ICAO (4 character) code
• Airline logo: the logo of the airline that operates this flight
• Altitude: altitude in feet
• GS: ground speed for the flight in Knots
• Hdg: presents heading of the aircraft from 0 to 359 degrees (0=North, 90=East, 180=South, 270=West)
• VRate: vertical rate in feet per minute
AirNav RadarBox 2007 Manual
Page 15
AirNav® Systems – World Leader in Flight Tracking and Monitoring
www.airnavsystems.com
• Route: origin and destination airports and sometimes stops
Connecting to the Network
To connect to AirNav RadarBox network you need to have your RadarBox hardware connected to your computer.
After this open the RadarBox Interface if it not already open, go to the Network tab and check the "Get flights from
RadarBox Network" check box.
Watch on the bottom of the RadarBox Interface panel, the connection status. Data is downloaded each 30 seconds.
Note that you will have to be a registered user of the software and have an active AirNav RadarBox account to be
able to receive network flights.
You can do this at the main menu [RadarBox | Network Account Information]
To subscribe to AirNav RadarBox Network please visit AirNav RadarBox Order page
New users have free access to the network during the first year.
4.2. Connecting to AirNav ACARS Decoder
Connecting to AirNav ACARS Decoder
Introduction
AirNav RadarBox can work in conjunction with AirNav decoder. This way you will be able see ACARS messages for the
flight you are tracking.
This way AirNav RadarBox is the first radar decoder application ever to have an ACARS interface included.
Data is passed from AirNav ACARS Decoder to AirNav RadarBox using a simple Windows DDE (Dynamic Data
Exchange) interface.
All is done in a transparent way so all the user does not need to do anything.
For more information on ACARS please read the bottom of this topic.
Connecting to AirNav ACARS Decoder
When you start AirNav RadarBox it will detect if AirNav ACARS Decoder is running and if that is the case, connect to it
automatically.
Anyway you can manually force a connection to AirNav ACARS Decoder using AirNav RadarBox menu at [File | AirNav

AirNav® Systems – World Leader in Flight Tracking and Monitoring
www.airnavsystems.com
What details will I see for each flight?
All the flight details received from AirNav ACARS Decoder will be shown on the RadarBox Interface, ACARS Tab.
For each flight you will see:
• Received: time of message reception
• Flight ID: the flight number / callsign for this flight
• Registration: tail number of the aircraft
• Aircraft: type of aircraft in ICAO (4 character) code
• M: ACARS Mode
• Lbl: message Label
• Mode S: the mode S code for this aircraft

What is ACARS?
ACARS ([A]ircraft [C]ommunication [A]ddressing and [R]eporting [S]ystem) is a digital data link system transmitted
via VHF radio which allows airline flight operations departments to communicate with the various aircraft in their fleet.
AirNav RadarBox 2007 Manual
Page 17
AirNav® Systems – World Leader in Flight Tracking and Monitoring
www.airnavsystems.com
This VHF digital transmission system, used by many civilian aircraft and business jets, can be likened to "email for
airplanes," as the registration of each aircraft is it's unique address in the system developed by aeronautical radio
giant ARINC (Aeronautical Radio, Inc.). Traffic is routed via ARINC computers to the proper company, relieving some
of the necessity for routine voice communication with the company. With ACARS, such routine items as departure
reports, arrival reports, passenger loads, fuel data, engine performance data, and much more,can be requested by
the company and retrieved from the aircraft at automatic intervals. Before the advent of ACARS, flight crews had to
use VHF to relay this data to their operations on the ground.
The ACARS system is comprised of the following elements:
1- The Airborne Subsystem, onboard the aircraft, which consists of the:
Management Unit Receives ground-to-air messages via the VHF radio transceiver, and also controls the replies.
Control Unit is the air crew interface with the ACARS system, consisting of a display screen and printer.
2- The ARINC Ground System, which consists of all the ARINC ACARS remote transmitting/receiving stations, and the
ARINC computer and switching systems.
3- The Air Carrier C2 (Command and Control) and Management Subsystem, which is basically all the ground based
airline operations such as operations control, maintenance, crew scheduling and the like, linked up with the ACARS
system.
Messages can be categorized in two ways: "Downlinks" which are those ACARS transmissions which originate in the
aircraft, and "uplinks" are those messages sent from the ground station to the aircraft.
A typical series of ACARS transmissions will look something like this example of United 767-300ERs departing from
Washington Dulles International (IAD):

The message label QF refers to an ACARS OFF report/message. The nose gear struts are now retracting, and the
ACARS system duly notes this event as the off time. Departure airport and destination station are noted to the left
and right of the OFF time respectively.

This is a good example of a position report along the aircraft's flight route. In this case, United flight 970 is a North
latitude 39.09.2 and West longitude 76.13.6, which happens to be the waypoint named SWANN, and they were over
SWANN at 2155.16 UTC, at FL230 (Flight Level 230 or 23,000 feet),
and they are estimating next waypoint GOLDA at 2156.24, next position BROSS. Outside air temperature is a minus
21, wind 282/14.

4.3. Creating Alerts
Creating Alerts
AirNav RadarBox 2007 Manual
Page 20
AirNav® Systems – World Leader in Flight Tracking and Monitoring
www.airnavsystems.com
One of the most important features of AirNav RadarBox is that you can program the software to trigger alerts for
certain circumstances.
For example, you can have the program to automatically send an email message when British Airways flight 272 is
received.
The Alert feature can be accessed on the RadarBox Interface. If it not shown open it at the program's menu
[RadarBox | Interface | Show/Hide].
How it works?
The alert feature is divided in two parts:
• Conditions that will trigger an alert
• Type of Alert
There are five types of conditions to trigger an alert:
• Mode-S: when an aircraft with a specific mode-s has been received an alert is triggered
• Registration: when a specific registration is received
• Range: when a flight is less that a defined number of miles from a specified location
• Flight ID: to trigger an alert when a defined flight number is received
• Aircraft: when an aircraft type appears on the system
AirNav RadarBox 2007 Manual
Page 21
AirNav® Systems – World Leader in Flight Tracking and Monitoring
www.airnavsystems.com
There are three types of alerts
• Play a Sound: a sound is played when an alert is triggered. The sound file can be specified using the browse key
• Show a notification message: a windows notification window opens on the bottom right corner of the screen
• Send an email: an email is sent to a specific email address
Note that you can use wildcards to specify conditions. For example if you want your computer to play a sound
whenever a british registered aircraft has been received enter on the registration condition box 'G-*' (all the british
registered aircraft registrations start with a 'G-').
On the bottom of the Alert tab you will also see the alert log box. It will keep a log of the alerts sent for you to check.
Example of an Alert
Let's imagine we want an email message to be sent to "johnsmith@email.com" whenever British Airways flight 272 is
received.
1- Check the Flight ID check box to activate this type of alert condition
2- Type 'BAW272' on the aircraft alert box
3- Check the "Send an Email to the following addresses:" option
4- Type the email address on the email address box
5- That's it. When flight BAW272 is first received by the system an email address will be sent to the specified email
address.
4.4. Creating Reports
Creating Reports
AirNav RadarBox has an embedded report feature.
This makes it easier to you send reports of received flights to your friends or to an internet mailing list.
To access this feature go to the RadarBox Interface, Reporter Tab.
AirNav RadarBox 2007 Manual
Page 22
AirNav® Systems – World Leader in Flight Tracking and Monitoring
www.airnavsystems.com
How to send a report
1- Select Data to include in the report
First you need to specify the data range for the report. Do this by selecting the date range for the report.
Check the "Only new entries" check box if you want the report to have only aircraft received for the first time.
2- Generate the Report
Click the generate report button.
Once the report is generated you will need to specify what you want to do with it.
3- What to do with the report
You can save it to a file or send it by email.
Note
There is a very popular internet mailing list where mode-s users change experiences and logs at Yahoo Groups.
It is called the "Mode_S" groups.
You can send log reports to do this email to show other users what you have been received.
To do so send an email to "Mode_S@yahoogroups.com" (you need to be subscribed to the group for your message to
be accepted)
