Electronic conspicuity in air-to-air use case

The use case for Electronic Conspicuity in Air-to-Air explains how aircraft can use Electronic Conspicuity systems to detect and become visible to each other directly in flight. Aircraft equipped with EC devices transmit their position and receive information about nearby aircraft, helping pilots better understand surrounding traffic and prevent conflicts. The additional “electronic view” or “conspicuousness” of nearby aircraft is expected to improve awareness and safety.

The joint work between EUROCONTROL and EASA helps create a consistent European approach to Electronic Conspicuity. It aims to align requirements across Europe, encourage adoption of interoperable technologies and support pilots, operators, manufacturers and service providers with harmonised guidance.
