ADS-B
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast. A required avionics system that transmits an aircraft's identity, position and altitude in real time.
IN PRACTICE
ADS-B underpins both modern air traffic control and the public flight-tracking services. Some private operators apply for a Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) or the LADD (Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed) programme to mask their tail number from public trackers.
