July marks a turning point from the “pioneer” phase of automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) in Europe to the approaching ADS-B mandate.

Eurocontrol expects the Single Sky Committee of the European Commission to approve the Surveillance Performance and Interoperability Implementing Rule (SPI-IR) identifying system performance and ground and airborne interoperability requirements for ADS-B. The rule should appear in the Official Journal of the European Union by year-end.
