(8) I have seen power traffic cruising happily under cloud bases. That is why I have ADS-B out and I also have ADS-B In on both 1090 and 978. I get traffic from ground stations. I put the ADS-B out so I can see the power traffic around me and not to freak out every time I see a ring on PCAS not knowing where the traffic is. The only way I see we could control ADS-B in is if PowerFlarm updated its ADSB-in to include ground station transitions, which I thought they did, but maybe not. Then we could limit ADS-B traffic to 5 km, which could be a huge mistake because at 17k feet power traffic can go really fast. This is a real problem. Additional ADS-B in equipment I have in my glider to receive ground station traffic cannot be limited to 5km. I would be willing to get the other equipment out of my glider as long as I get traffic transmitting by ground stations on PF, but what to do about fast power traffic? Anyone has a good idea? Filter based on speed?
As you can see, complexity of working out a solution is huge as there are many variables. We would need to deal not only with flarm traffic but also with ADS-B traffic and consider you might deal with high speed ADS-B traffic.


What ADS-B "in/out" transceiver do you use?

What hardware do you use to display the ADS-B "in" traffic and weather information?
