FOREWORD

The present brochure describes the surveillance in the broad sense of the term, from an airborne system perspective. It covers existing systems (e.g. transponder, TCAS, TAWS, etc) as well as emerging systems (e.g. AESS, ATSAW, etc) and new technologies (e.g. ADS-B).
The present brochure provides supplementary information to existing Flight Operations documents (CBT, FCOM, FCTM, FOBN). Therefore, the present brochure intentionally limits the set of recommendations. Please refer to existing Flight Operations documents for the complete set of recommendations.
