Aireon To Provide ADS-B for Helos in North Sea
Aerion ADS-B system will monitor helicopter operations in the Bodo Oceanic flight region to altitudes of 10,000 feet.

ADS-B service provider Aireon and Norway’s Avinor Air Navigation Services will deploy space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) to monitor helicopter operations in the Bodo Oceanic flight information region and adjacent airspace spanning the Norwegian Basin and Barents Sea. This is the first space-based ADS-B application specifically targeted for helicopter surveillance and will focus on helicopter movements from the ground through 10,000 feet. Helicopters operating in this region are required to be equipped with ADS-B antennas.
