What type of information can be configured to be broadcast by the ADS-B system?

The ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast) system is designed to broadcast critical information about an aircraft’s position and movement. The correct choice indicates that the information that can be configured to be broadcast includes latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates along with ground speed.

This data is crucial for air traffic control and situational awareness among pilots, allowing them to have a more precise and real-time view of traffic in their vicinity. By transmitting the aircraft's exact location (latitude and longitude) and how fast it is moving over the ground (ground speed), ADS-B enhances safety and efficiency in air traffic management.

The other types of information listed – such as visual altitude and rate of climb, wind speed and heading, and visibility and weather conditions – are not the primary focus of the ADS-B system. While some of these details might be relevant for flight operations, they do not constitute the core functionalities that the ADS-B system is designed to provide for situational awareness and traffic information sharing.
