OGN-R PilotAware / Some OGN-R questions
« on: January 16, 2018, 05:32:05 pm »
I am a tug pilot at a couple of gliding clubs and also do a spot of touring in powered aircraft. I would like to propose to one of my clubs that we install an OGN-R station but before I present this idea I will some more info.
I think the best way to propose an installation is to focus on the benefits to the gliding community (other than the obvious one of a reduced chance of GA aircraft colliding with a glider). Will installing a OGN-R allow our fleet of gliders (all have flarm installed) to see aircraft with PAW as well as those squaking on a mode C or S transporder on their flarm displays?
How would a flarm react to a PAW on a tug aircraft and vice versa? Would it filter it out like it would another flarm?
Can the base station prove a realtime map of aircraft eiher using its own mapping or overlay it on skydemon light? I would like to see a map on a screen in the club house.
Thanks in advance.
