R)
a. Introduction.
ADS
−
R is a datalink translation function of the
ADS
−
B ground system required to accommodate the
two separate operating frequencies (978 MHz and
1090 ES). The ADS
−
B system receives the ADS
−
B
messages transmitted on one frequency and ADS
−
R
translates and reformats the information for
rebroadcast and use on the other frequency. This
allows ADS
−
B In equipped aircraft to see nearby
ADS
−
B Out traffic regardless of the operating link of
the other aircraft. Aircraft operating on the same
ADS
−
B frequency exchange information directly
and do not require the ADS
−
R translation function.
(See FIG 4

b. Reports of ADS
−
R Malfunctions.
Users of ADS–R can provide valuable assistance in
the correction of malfunctions by reporting instances
of undesirable system performance. Since ADS–R
performance is monitored by maintenance personnel
rather than ATC, report malfunctions to the nearest
Flight Service Station (FSS) facility by radio or
telephone, or by sending an email to the ADS

B help
desk at adsb@faa.gov. Reports should include:
1.
Condition observed;
2.
Date and time of observation;
3.
Altitude and location of observation;
4.
Type and call sign of the aircraft and;
5.
Type and software version of avionics
system.
