Holy UAT, Batman

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.

Yes, but part of something is better than all of nothing.

Sorry, couldn't resist that one. :-) Actually, Darryl, I very much
appreciate all you've posted on ADS-B. It's been very informative in
helping me make decisions for future operations. But, for me, this
software radio with DSP and output stream for various HW/SW products
already on the market looks like a great toy to while away the time
until spring makes more fun things realistic. And, if it actually
provides some traffic information, so much the better. I'll still be
looking outside. I think the realtime (neglecting unknown latency)
weather display will be fun to look at but, again, the view outside is
plenty sufficient for my kind of flying.
