5. Satellite Based Systems Impact TBO Capability
Traditionally, aircraft use high-frequency radio to report their position when crossing oceans. Satellite-based datalink communications have improved this, boosting accuracy and frequency. The next step is one many airlines have already taken: installing systems called Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast or Contract (ADS-B and ADS-C). These help an aircraft to accurately report its position and share it with other nearby aircraft, and it creates the possibility of allowing flights to travel closer together.
Airlines can reduce cost per passenger kilometer by flying more direct routes at more efficient altitudes and speeds with uninterrupted climbs and descents.
Upgrades require technology, procedures, training, culture
