NOTAM 2/7189: Seattle Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) 
!FDC 2/7189 SEA SEATTLE-TACOMA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AUTOMATIC 
DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE, ESSENTIAL SERVICE BROADCAST. EFFECTIVE 
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011. THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) HAS 
ADOPTED TWO ADS-B DATA LINKS: 1090 MHZ EXTENDED SQUITTER (1090ES) AND
978 MHZ UNIVERSAL ACCESS TRANSCEIVER (UAT). THE TWO LINKS OPERATE 
SIMILARLY AND SUPPORT TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE-BROADCAST (TIS-B). 
ADDITIONALLY, THE UAT LINK SUPPORTS FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICE- 
BROADCAST (FIS-B). TIS-B SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE 
NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM (NAS) WHERE THERE ARE BOTH ADEQUATE 
SURVEILLANCE COVERAGE (RADAR) AND ADEQUATE BROADCAST COVERAGE FROM 
ADS-B GROUND STATIONS. FIS-B SERVICE AVAILABILITY IS EXPECTED 
THROUGHOUT THE NAS IN 2013, AND IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE WITHIN CERTAIN
REGIONS. THIS NOTAM ANNOUNCES THE AVAILABILITY OF THE INITIAL TIS-B 
AND FIS-B CAPABILITY WITH THE SEATTLE-TACOMA INTERNATIONAL SEA 
AIRSPACE. THE FAA IS DEVELOPING POLICY GUIDANCE MATERIAL ON AUTOMATIC
DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE-BROADCAST (ADS-B), ESSENTIAL SERVICES- TIS-B 
AND FIS-B THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED IN TRADITIONAL SOURCE REFERENCES 
SUCH AS THE AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION MANUAL (AIM). REPORTS OF TIS-B 
AND FIS-B MALFUNCTIONS SHOULD BE REPORTED BY RADIO OR TELEPHONE TO 
THE NEAREST FLIGHT SERVICE STATION (FSS) FACILITY.
