General Discussion / ADS-B tranmitted via a Mode S TX for the NATS Trial

« on: October 19, 2015, 05:12:59 pm »

Hello,

Has anyone explored wiring their PilotAware box to their transponder for ADS-B output?

I've emailed the NATS people to see if
1. it's not too late to take part in their uncertified GPS trial
2. if they mind that the uncertified device is not a fancy MGL or some other commercial unit like a Garmin but a PilotAware box.

I appreciate the wire connecting them would have to "signed off" by an inspector  / mod approval submitted but it wouldn't be any different to the mod approvals for all the other people taking part in the trials, or would it?

General Discussion / Traffic / Contact Filters

Hello, sorry if this is obvious once you have the system up & running but mine isn't built yet....

I was just thinking...If you fly to White Waltham.....will the screen be swamped with multiple contacts from Heathrow or can you set PA filters?
Even in open FIR.....I wouldn't be bothered by contacts more than 3 or 4 thousand feet above.

Thanks in advance
Ben
