"Brief" is right - doesn't say much at all.


Follow the link on the link.

Does PowerFlarm alert to TABS equipped aircraft?


From http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgTSO.nsf/0/1600df588a6f53ae86257d710070d105/$FILE/TSO-C199.pdf


"a. Functionality TABS equipment developed under this TSO are intended to make aircraft with an installed device visible to TAS, TCAS I, TCAS II and ADS-B IN equipped aircraft."

PowerFlarm has ADS-B In, so TABS equipped aircraft should(?) show up in PowerFlarm. And (possible wishful thinking) this would work outside the range of ADS-B ground station?
