ADS-B IMPLEMENTATION IN TAHITI FIR

(Presented by SEAC French Polynesia)

SUMMARY

This paper provides information on the ADS-B project in Tahiti FIR.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Currently French Polynesia domestic airspace surveillance is provided through a

Secondary Radar located on the main Island Tahiti. This radar covers only the part of the controlled

area which is most frequently used. The current radar has an expected life of 15 years.

1.2. The ADS-B project has been launched to improve safety, surveillance, and efficiency.

2. DISCUSSION

2.1 A first project was undertaken in 2002. It has been abandoned in favour of radar

which implementation took place in 2009.

2.1 Implementation of 9 ADS-B receivers is scheduled to allow traffic surveillance on the

domestic network. Report to ADS-B slideshow on attached document.

3. ACTION BY THE MEETING

3.1 The meeting is invited to note the information contained in this paper.

--------------------

�AO information, encouragement�Segregation in some blocks of airspace


Initial need : VHF coverage extension

�Pros� Communication quality improvement

� Possible frequencies consolidation

� Methods harmonization and simplification� Decrease of emergency phases activation

� Non dependence on solar radiation (HF)

� RNAV/GNSS separations

�Cons� Limited range compared to HF, involving more frequencies

changes


Other need: surveillance extension

�Safety enhancement�“ Radar-like” separation ability

� Airspace capacity improvement

� Flight profiles optimization

� Delays decreasing

�SSR spare to face� Maintenance program

� Failure

� End of life expected in 2030

�Search And Rescue Service improvement


How many receivers? Which sites?

�9 ADS-B receivers (2 in 2014, 3 in 2015 et 4 in 2016)

�Start on existing VHF sites : easy spreading at low cost

�Other criteria� Fit to main domestic flows

� Fit to experimentation (ATM system interoperability)


Sites on study

�Tahiti : Marau or Mahaena or Papara�Leeward : Bora Bora or Raiatea�Rangiroa�Makemo Tuamotu�Hao�Tureia�Totegegie (Gambiers)�Hiva Oa (Marquesas)�Tubuai (Australes)
