Default Stupid PowerFLARM Question

"Peter von Tresckow" wrote in message
...
I was going to meet up with a soaring buddy who has a Power Flarm, and take
it flying in my flying club's DA40 to see what traffic it will display. Our
DA40 has a G1000 with the old mode S traffic display, so we can compare the
results.

My question is related to what the ADS-B in capabilities of the power flarm
are. Does it just receive the 1080ES signals from ADS-B equipped planes, or
does it also pick up on the ground station based traffic info?

Thanks

Peter



Hi Peter,

Do you mean 1090ES? I believe that the PowerFLARM receives 1090ES ADS-B
signals from aircraft. But I am not 100% certain.

I have seen ADS-B traffic on my PowerFLARM display with it sitting here on
my desk at home.
