ADS-B Transmitter Maps

Airport vehicles equipped with ADS-B can be tracked in real time alongside aircraft, increasing runway safety and efficiency.

Displays provide pilots, controllers, vehicle operators and airport and airline managers a better view of airfield operations. This capability has many uses and can be especially helpful at night or during low-visibility weather.

Although vehicle ADS-B is not mandated, it has become widespread due to its operational benefits. Several major airports have already implemented it.

These maps show the area on the airport surface that vehicle ADS-B is enabled or disabled. The yellow coloring is the enabled areas and the red coloring is the disabled area.

Airports and vendors can request the maps in .kml format by sending an email to adsb@faa.gov.

Please refer to AC 150/5220-26 - Airport Ground Vehicle Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) Out Squitter Equipment for guidance on the development, installation, testing, approval and maintenance of ADS-B Out squitter units for airport ground vehicles.
