Some of the ModeS features will never be implemented and the ModeS
Extended
Squitter will mainly be used by the airlines. For GA, I don't think
you're
going to see much in the way of new ModeS features as the ADS-B UATs
will
be
the preferred new technology path for data link.


Indeed. You won't get Mode S on the UAT link. Two completely different
schemes.


I'm not really sure what you mean by "get Mode S".


What I meant was the UAT datalink is not equipped to receive (or
transmit) Mode S. But I misread what you wrote, so I guess it doesn't
matter.

1090 only gives you TIS. *UAT adds FIS (Weather, NOTAMs).


1090 is capable of considerably more than TIS. *Some of that capability has
already been realized, but it remains to be seen how much more will. *The
airlines already get the products you mentioned through ACARS.


Are those products received over 1090?
