ADS-B or just Mode S for class E airspace?
PowerFLARM PCAS sees mode C and S transponders, as badly as Ramy describes. PowerFLARM does not see UAT direct and cannot decode ADS-R or TIS-B messages, so you will not see that traffic even if you have ADS-B Out to make your glider a client for ADS-R and TIS-B ground based services.
Future products from FLARM OEMs may improve that, but the story there seems much more of a mess than I hoped it would be. Maybe more on that later, elsewhere on r.a.s. If you want to see all that stuff today you need a separate receiver and display like one of the GA oriented EFB applications, like ForeFlight on an iPad or iPhone. But... having ADS-B Out is a big step... it makes your glider visible to all those GA aircraft in lots of situations... many folks who have ADS-B In today have dual-link receivers that will see you regardless of whether they have ADS-B Out or are within TIS-B service coverage. |

ADS-B or just Mode S for class E airspace?
And there is no other ADS-B In system in use in the USA except PowerFLARM that has a PCAS like capability. ADS-B TIS-B that Mike and I have mentioned here several times is more complex and you need to go read about that to understand the limitations of where/when it works. Mike mentioned the limitations already, and I have posted similar comments many times on r.a.s. But again TIS-B is academic if you are using a PowerFLARM receiver, the European folks involved in developing PowerFLARM just did not implement support for it.

The February issue of Soaring Mag will have an article on my installation of ADS-B out in my DG-303. If you go to FlightAware you can see one of my flight traces from the region 7 contest. N701HR https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N701HR

That's pretty cool, but I'm having difficulties with the program.Â* I
entered my tail number (N995J) from yesterday's flight and got nothing.Â* I entered the tail number of our C-180 and got a flight from June, 2018.Â* I've flown both aircraft quite a bit, so what am I missing?Â* Do I need to have had a filed flight plan or had requested flight following?Â* I also entered my home airport (0E0) and got nothing.
