7 Trajectory Change (TC) Reports
Trajectory Change reports replace the TCPs defined in DO-242. They provide an expandable structure capable of describing TCPs, waypoint constraints, and the flight segments that connect them. One TC report is provided for each TCP or waypoint constraint. Many additional elements have been added to the DO-242 TCP report to facilitate path re-generation, data confidence assessment, and conformance monitoring. Some of the new parameters have been added to be consistent with ARINC trajectory bus specifications as reflected in Eurocontrol ADS Requirements.8
Table 4 shows the TC report structure. Not all elements are fully implemented in DO-242A, but are included to show planned expansion as data becomes available. TC report fields are filled based on information availability aboard the transmitting aircraft and the TC type.

The first three elements of the TC report: Participant Address, Address Qualifier and Time of Applicability are common to all ADS-B reports. Time of applicability and Time to Go (TTG) are updated each time a TC report is output. See Section 11 for a discussion of TC report “refreshment” when TC report intent information is not currently received. 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址:Automatic Dependent Surveillance(12)
