8.5 Aircraft Registration
The Aircraft Registration can be up to an 8 alpha-numeric code that
corresponds to the tail number of the aircraft. (0-9, A-F).
Note: This is typically your aircraft N-number, unless otherwise advised by
the FAA or ATC.
8.6 GPS Antenna Lateral / Longitudinal Offset
The GPS antenna offset is used in conjunction with the length and width to
manage taxiway conflicts. A typical GPS does not report the geographic
position of the center of the aircraft, or even the tip of the nose of the
aircraft; instead, it usually reports the location of the actual GPS antenna
(not the GPS receiver). In normal flight operation, this distinction is of no
importance at all, but if ADS-B is used to manage taxiway conflicts, a
significant offset in antenna position could mean the aircraft footprint is not
in the same place as the ADS-B reported position. Although the GPS
Antenna Offset is primarily intended for position correction on large
transport aircraft, General Aviation aircraft can also have a significant
offset. For example, if the aircraft has a long tail boom and the GPS
antenna is on top of the tail, the GPS position could be 4 meters or more
from the nose of the aircraft.

8.7 Aircraft Emitter Type
To assist ATC tracking of aircraft, an aircraft category can be transmitted.
The aircraft emitter type default is UAV (14).
