scope:

Purpose of this Notice.

This notice prescribes procedures and phraseology for the use of ADS-B information in the provision of ATC services at Anchorage ARTCC using Micro-EARTS and ATOP. The appropriate Safety Risk Management Documents have been completed to support the guidance in this notice. The issuance of this notice will allow Anchorage ARTCC to integrate ADS-B as a surveillance source in ATOP sectors without changing procedures and phraseology prescribed in previously issued guidance for ADS-B and Micro-EARTS contained in FAA Order JO 7210.631. Implementation of this guidance by notice is intended to provide Anchorage ARTCC with the opportunity to facilitate an orderly transition to NAS-wide procedures for the use of ADS-B without specific phraseology used for ADS-B transmitter issues. Once Anchorage ARTCC has had an opportunity to review and revise appropriate facility guidance, training, and other documents, and complete appropriate training to align with NAS-wide ADS-B procedures, this notice will be canceled and the applicability of the directive used to support the use of ADS-B by the other Micro-EARTS facilities will be revised to include Anchorage ARTCC using MEARTS and ATOP. Guidance contained in orders for facilities providing ATC services using ADS-B with ERAM, Micro-EARTS, ATOP, CARTS and STARS will be incorporated into the appropriate paragraphs of FAA Orders JO 7110.65 and 7210.3.
