You won't get Mode S on the UAT link. Two completely different schemes. I'm not really sure what you mean by "get Mode S". As far as providing other services (ok, "features" ![]() of the things they are looking at, is taking ADS-B In to drive a TCAS display (ADS-B is *not* currently certified for collision avoidance). You can count on that as TCAS currently has accuracy limitations which is why the range is quite limited, but this is more of a recent development. As far as what I mean by "features", I'm talking about everything that ModeS was originally intended to be capable of doing. You have to remember that the technology is over 30 years old now. Much of what was originally conceived will never be implemented. AIUI, most of the rest of the world (those bits that are planning ADS-B) are looking to do it that way. 1090 if you're one of the bigger operators, or perhaps smaller folks with deep pockets. UAT is lower cost. 1090 only gives you TIS. UAT adds FIS (Weather, NOTAMs). 1090 is capable of considerably more than TIS. Some of that capability has already been realized, but it remains to be seen how much more will. The airlines already get the products you mentioned through ACARS. |

Are those products received over 1090? 1090 ES doesn't have the bandwidth necessary to do much in the way of large data transfers, however as far as the big airplanes go, there's really not much need. ACARS gives them far more and would not go away even if it were possible to put those products on 1090 ES. |

No doubt. I was mainly commenting on what UAT provides, not about whether an existing 1090 user could receive those equivalent products with a 3rd box. |

ACARS gives them far more and would not go away even if it were possible to put those products on 1090 ES. What does ACARS run on? Satellite data, or shortwave radio? You can read all about it on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACARS I don't have that much knowledge about ACARS. All I know is ARINC maintains that service and ACARS equipped aircraft can receive clearance delivery service on it at major airports in the US without ever talking to ATC. I've heard Jet-A burners say they can receive METARs, NOTAMs, and digital ATIS information on it. I would assume airline dispatchers can send and/or receive short text messages on it with the aircrews, but I have no idea if this is the case. |
