ADS-B

[Boooooo]

Question for all the controllers out there: what extra info does ADS-B allow you to see about an aircraft that you're working?

Not a controller but I've been told they get TAS, so pilots have to be a bit extra careful about being more than 5% off on their planned TAS as well as with crossing restrictions during a STAR

TAS and IAS are optional in ADS-B, and if you have a look on adbsexchange you'll see that none of the airliners seem to actually have it. They do all seem to have FMS set altitude and heading, so the controller can presumably see if they have set those wrong, if their display shows those values.

Although not a controller, I have been informed that pilots get TAS (Task Aircraft Specification) and must exercise caution to avoid exceeding a 5% deviation from their intended TAS and also to adhere to crossing limitations during a STAR (Short-Term Airspace Restriction).

STAR stands for standard terminal arrival routes.

Not sure where you got your acronym from.

Yes, they can see what you’ve selected in your alt selector in bugged for IAS.
