Regulatory Framework and Recognition

ADS-L is recognized by EASA as a means to enhance situational awareness and safety in aviation, particularly in U-Space (SERA.6005(c)). While there are no current mandates requiring the use of ADS-L (other than U-space airspace), EASA and the ADS-L coalition promote its adoption as an essential means of improving aviation safety. The recognition of ADS-L by industry and EASA is a significant step towards its widespread adoption and integration into the European aviation landscape.

There are no foreseen mandates requiring the use of ADS-L. However, electronic conspicuity mandate in SERA.6005(c) already recognises it as one of a few means to be conspicuous in U-Space (e.g. as an alternative to ADS-B out certified solutions).
