    Tell your congressman to make registration data private

    978 UAT anonymous mode is not available if a discrete 4096 code is required (IFR flight plan or VFR flight following for example.) Also, as stated earlier, it is not available in a 1090 ES transponder.

    Tell your congressman to make registration data private

    The only way to block it at the source it to turn off your ADS-B Out. The only ones now allowed to do that are the "public service" and formation flight aircraft. They have receivers around the world that collect ADS-B data directly from aircraft and provides it unfiltered back to the...

    What hill will you die on?

    KS just enacted a law on July 1 where you will lose you license for a year for refusing a Field Sobriety Test (the beside the road acrobatic type). They confiscate your license on the spot. You can refuse the FST and not get ticked, but if you refuse it, you will lose you license. I am reading...

    Why? That's not any different than any other UAT out solution.

    Saturday morning was the best day for kids (back in the day)

    Around that same time frame there was also "Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot". It was aired in the KC market by KBMA (now KSHB).

    Will ADS-B Out Send Data When No ATC Radar Reaches The Plane

    Correct, they don't and that is what simplifies their installation. Those vendors have appeared to have demonstrated an AMOC for the AC 20-165B Installation Guidance altitude requirement for the certification of their equipment. However other UAT ADS-B Out devices (for example, GDL-84/88/90...

    Will ADS-B Out Send Data When No ATC Radar Reaches The Plane

    I forgot about that. That may have been part of the cert delay where they had to test and work out the details were the FAA required the Mode C transponder and the UAT use the same altitude source as per AC 20-165B. Also, I believe must most of the other UAT units require a connection to the...

    Will ADS-B Out Send Data When No ATC Radar Reaches The Plane

    Yes. The ADS-B Out device broadcasts regardless of any external interrogations of the transponder. Yes. Also, the start time of each one second broadcast is sudo-randomized to reduce collisions with other broadcasts. You can think of the 1090ES transponders as containing two functions. One...

    Will ADS-B Out Send Data When No ATC Radar Reaches The Plane

    Both utilize the Mode A/C data stream to populate the 4096 and altitude data on the ADS-B down link. I believe the GDL 82 injects a low level interrogation to the on board ATCRBS transponder to trigger a reply. Whereas, the Sky Beacon relies on external interrogations of the on board ATCBS...

    Will ADS-B Out Send Data When No ATC Radar Reaches The Plane

    Yes. They will automatically broadcast the ADS-B Out data once a second. Thus the "A" and "B" in ADS-B.

    How to clean an electronic board

    Nothing beat ultrasonic cleaning in 1,1,1-Trichloroethane followed by an immersive rinse in Freon TF for getting CCAs squeaky clean.
