The military is dealing with how to comply with ADSB. However, the military budget has been crap since 2013, and frankly we do not have the money to upgrade the aircraft and also keep them combat capable. We desire to do both, but we do not have the money, but it is the plan. Oh, and to make things worse.... We used to fly "non standard formation" all the time ... meaning as a tactical group, you really do not want all aircraft at the same altitude, so we would have aircraft in a tactical box formation, roughly 6000-9000 feet apart in each element, with the second element 2nm in trail of the first element, and all four aircraft at different altitudes up to 4000' apart.

This is disturbing news to hear that the military can not afford to comply with the ADS-B requirement while GA is required.
And why the wingmen in formation turn off their transponders? Ramy |

I believe your information is incorrect. The DOD budget for 2017 is $582.7 Billion. That is more than China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, United Kingdom, India, France and Japan combined. I wonder if those countries have ADS-B requirments

Hi Ramy - IIRC, for civilian formation flying, procedure is normally the same; only one in formation has transponder on. Why? Because otherwise they all get interrogated at the same time, they all answer at the same time, and the result is unintelligible (this is called "fruiting", kinda like everyone shouting at the same time - even worse than RAS). In principal this is less of a problem with Mode S, except a mode S transponder behaves like an old Mode C when it gets an old-style interrogation. And while ground stations send new-style interrogation, older TCAS-I installations send the old-style interrogation. And these are installed in better-equipped GA aircraft like Lee's Bonanza. Darryl, please correct if I've garbled (fruited) this... Hope that's clear! Best Regards, Dave |

The report was promptly buried by the Pentagon and only came to light following an investigation by the Washington Post newspaper.." |

Flew us nationals this summer with a new ship, new pf core feeding LX9000. Used the same config settings as the old glider, changed only to reflect the new ship's transponder.
Double checked these settings after the first day, when the constant alarms caused by one competitor's transponder hijacked the instrument until I could get several miles away from him. Later in the contest, I heard one contestant ask another to turn off his transponder when entering the gaggle. Perhaps someone could review here the proper settings in the config file and in the LX to best mitigate false txpdr alarms. Thanks in advance. |
