Brief Manual

For a more extensive explanation, see the ADS-C page.

ADS-C reports need to be requested by a station first. When both the station and the aircraft agree to exchange reports, this is called a contract (hence ADS-C). You request a contract by sending the aircraft a message using the editor above.

There are two types of contract: periodic (every N seconds) and events (when something specific happens, such as a descent). For the moment, only periodic reports work.

If you are BAW and the aircraft is BAW744, you send an ADS-C report request by filling in the call signs above, select "Request periodic", and put 600 in the Data box for a 10-minute report cycle. More often is usually unnecessary, as ADS-C is not radar. It is not intended to do virtual radar air traffic control (we have ADS-B for that, which is a technically totally different system).

If you want to tell the plane to stop sending reports, send it a "Cancel reporting" message.

If the aircraft cannot accept your contract request, or if the pilots switch ADS off (using the ATC COMM, LOGON/STATUS page), you get a "reject" message.

If you check the "Make Persistant" box, your report request will be made persistant. It will be automatically re-sent to the plane when callsign comes online. If you cancel your report request with this box checked, you cancel the persistance. If a plane rejects the request, it will not be offered new requests, until it drops offline for more than five minutes.
