locations

  • Type: location
  • Requirement: recommended

A list of Position Location Information (PLI) (latitude/longitude pairs) defining the area where a group or Intent-Based Network Participant operation is taking place. (This field is only applicable to Network Remote ID.)

type_id

  • Type: integer_t
  • Requirement: recommended
  • Values:
    • 0 - Unknown/Undeclared: The UA type is empty or not declared.
    • 1 - Takeoff Location
    • 2 - Fixed Location
    • 3 - Dynamic Location
    • 99 - Other: The type is not mapped. See the type attribute, which contains a data source specific value.

The operating area type identifier.

aerial_height

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

Expressed as either height above takeoff location or height above ground level (AGL) for a UAS current location. This value is provided in meters and must have a minimum resolution of 1 m. Special Values: Invalid, No Value, or Unknown: -1000 m.

altitude_ceiling

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

desc

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

The description of the geographical location.

end_time

  • Type: timestamp_t
  • Requirement: optional

The date and time at which a group or an Intent-Based Network Participant operation ends. (This field is only applicable to Network Remote ID.)

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

The aircraft distance above or below the ellipsoid as measured along a line that passes through the aircraft and is normal to the surface of the WGS-84 ellipsoid. This value is provided in meters and must have a minimum resolution of 1 m. Special Values: Invalid, No Value, or Unknown: -1000 m.

geodetic_vertical_accuracy

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

Provides quality/containment on geodetic altitude. This is based on ADS-B Geodetic Vertical Accuracy (GVA). Measured in meters.

geohash

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

Geohash of the geo-coordinates (latitude and longitude).Geohashing is a geocoding system used to encode geographic coordinates in decimal degrees, to a single string.

horizontal_accuracy

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

Provides quality/containment on horizontal position. This is based on ADS-B NACp. Measured in meters.

is_on_premises

  • Type: boolean_t
  • Requirement: optional

The indication of whether the location is on premises.

isp

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

  • Requirement: optional

The geographical Longitude coordinate represented in Decimal Degrees (DD). For example: -71.057083.

postal_code

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

The postal code of the location.

pressure_altitude

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

The uncorrected barometric pressure altitude (based on reference standard 29.92 inHg, 1013.25 mb) provides a reference for algorithms that utilize ‘altitude deltas’ between aircraft. This value is provided in meters and must have a minimum resolution of 1 m.. Special Values: Invalid, No Value, or Unknown: -1000 m.

provider

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional

The provider of the geographical location data.

radius

  • Type: string_t
  • Requirement: optional
