ADS-B Out broadcasts what information?

ADS-B Out broadcasts what information?

• A. ADS-B Out broadcasts position, velocity, altitude, and other status to ATC and other aircraft.
• B. ADS-B Out broadcasts In; broadcasts position and velocity.
• C. ADS-B Out broadcasts attitude data.
• D. ADS-B Out broadcasts weather data to maintenance.

Answer: (A)

ADS-B Out is designed to share surveillance data from your aircraft to ATC and other aircraft. It broadcasts your precise position, your velocity (speed and direction), and your altitude, along with a few status fields such as your identification and any indications like emergencies. This combination lets controllers and nearby equipped aircraft know where you are and how you’re moving without relying solely on radar. Attitude data (pitch/roll) isn’t part of the standard ADS-B Out transmission, and weather data isn’t transmitted to maintenance or others through ADS-B Out. The option that mentions position, velocity, altitude, and other status to ATC and other aircraft matches what ADS-B Out actually provides.
