As far as traffic coverage - I would not rely on UAT TIS-b without an ADSB-out aircraft very near. Otherwise you won't see anything but 1090es ADSB.

Which means you really can't rely on it at all.

"EAA is working with the FAA to expand TIS-B availability to all aircraft, not just those equipped with ADS-B out."
Don't hold your breath on that one. Selective broadcast is still the plan.


Exactly. Wishing is not having.

And has been discussed here recently, the FAA is actually tightening up requirements for ADS-B Out compliance.

The time for folks like AOPA and EAA to try to stop all this complexity and dual-link layer nonsense was really around a decade ago.
