That's some pretty good authority! I am impressed and glad to have your input. Further, I had one of the earliest G1000 DA40s and very much appreciate having had the benefits of your work both then in 2004 and now again in 2017.

So ... what do we do about installing the GA35/36/37 antennas? Seems like they're all installed in or on composite skins?

Thanks

Here's a shot of the airplanes "in view" while flying up to NorCal today. As you can see, the number is rather greater than TIS or TAS.

More importantly, with TIS those guys in the Owens Valley do not show up. Well, maybe a few around Bakersfield. But mostly I used to think of that as the Wild West.

I used to see an airliner or two while transiting the corridors around LA and the Bay Area. Now I can see the whole string. Further, I had some converging traffic behind me while climbing out of LA today and could actually find the traffic vs. the endless visual search with TAS. While the ADS-B mandate is annoying, the cost of it vs a TAS-600 is undeniable.

TAS is active though and a reply from the other aircrafts transponder and processed by the TAS computer on board for heading, altitude etc where ADS-B information is more passive and is a rebroadcast of aircraft information coming from a ground station. TAS is safer but combining all of these systems is fantastic!

ADS-B equipped aircraft will communicate with each other tho, correct?

Here in crowded New England not too many will be able to escape compliance.

Not so. ADS-B out is active, always, even on the ground and ADS-B in receivers get this information directly, with no need for participation by ground stations.

TIS-B is retransmit of non-ADS-B transponder information to ADS-B-in receivers.

ADS-B out information is much more information-rich than is available via traditional transponder reply packets.
