JO 7110.65 5-2-22

When an aircraft's ADS-B transmitter appears to be inoperative or malfunctioning, notify the OS/CIC of the aircraft call sign, location, and time of the occurrence (UTC). Except for DoD aircraft or those provided for in paragraph 5-2-24 , inform the pilot. PHRASEOLOGY-

YOUR ADS-B TRANSMITTER APPEARS TO BE INOPERATIVE / MALFUNCTIONING.

NOTE-

FAA Flight Standards Service, Safety Standards Division (AFS) is responsible for working with aircraft operators to correct ADS-B malfunctions. The intent of this paragraph is to capture ADS-B anomalies observed by ATC, such as errors in the data (other than Call Sign Mis‐Match events, which are detected and reported to AFS automatically) or instances when civil ADS-B transmissions would normally be expected but are not received (e.g., ADS-B transmissions were observed on a previous flight leg).

If a malfunctioning ADS-B transmitter is jeopardizing the safe execution of air traffic control functions, instruct the aircraft to stop ADS-B transmissions, and notify the OS/CIC. PHRASEOLOGY-

STOP ADS-B TRANSMISSIONS, AND IF ABLE, SQUAWK THREE/ALFA (code).

NOTE-

Not all aircraft have a capability to disengage the ADS-B transmitter independently from the beacon code squawk.
