Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose systems and methods for providing enhanced features using an ATC Overlay data link. Further, there are provided systems and methods for ADS-B Mode Control that enable a transponder to selectively transmit data on a desired link, such as the ADS-B or ATC Overlay link, based on the control inputs such as current active ADS-B applications, thus reducing RF interference while maximizing the amount of pertinent data being transmitted. In various embodiments, ADS-B Mode Control also offers a mechanism to include pilot-entered data onto the ADS-B or ATC Overlay link, thereby producing flexibility for future ADS-B In applications.
