ACSS announced today the first successful in-flight ADS-B In demonstrations in China using jets. The demonstrations were performed with three Airbus A321s on approach to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport and were conducted in collaboration with the Civil Aviation Administration of China, Juneyao Airlines and Airbus.

The air traffic situational awareness enhanced visual separation on approach ADS-B In application was hosted on ACSS’s T3CAS integrated surveillance system and seamlessly integrated into the cockpit displays.
