ADS-B Myths - Q&A for Pilot and Aircraft Owner

Myths, questions, and - better yet - answers around ADS-B for pilots and aircraft owners in the United States. Understand which airspace requires ADS-B, and where you can still fly if your aircraft doesn't have ADS-B. Is UAT or 1090 a best choice? And what's happening in other countries regarding ADS-B? Find the answers to these and many more questions in this video.

Links to individual topics/questions:
#1: Do I have to install ADS-B to fly in the US in 2020?

#2: Will ATC change how they work January 1st 2020?

#3: Can I substitute GPS altitude for a broken altitude encoder?

#4: Can I get VFR flight following or file IFR flight plans in 2020 without ADS-B ‘out'?

#5: Can I be ADS-B compliant with a portable ADS-B unit?

#6: I don't have ADS-B. Can I fly to an airport in Class B or C airspace?

#7: I have ADS-B ‘in’; should I remove active traffic from my panel?

#8: With ADS-B, do I still need a 24-month transponder test?

#9: Can I fly if ADS-B is installed on my aircraft but broken?

#10: I won't get ADS-B; should I remove my Mode C transponder?

#11: I heard about “anonymous mode”. Is that important?

#12: Does it matter if I get a UAT or 1090 transponder?

#13: I have ADS-B ‘out’, but I often don’t see other nearby airplanes through TIS-B. What could be the reason?

A great technical resource, all in 9 minutes - and set to music! What more could we ask, Martin!

[NVY]

Outstanding! I have not seen more comprehensive coverage anywhere. Well done!

[joeyg]

Martins flight school should be in the pipeline..Great job

[sosco]

Thank you for making it easy to understand. Much appreciated.

Informative as usual Mr Pauly, just as your Lean of Peak video. BTW your looking sharp there!

[flyjeffva]

Thank you for this video. I do have a couple of questions.
1. If I have a transponder/encoder but no ADSB-out, do I show up on other aircraft's ADSB-in?
2. Related to 1, Will TCAS show traffic that ADSB-in doesn't?

Thank you.

Excellent & very instructive video! I fly a VL3-Evolution (based near the capital of your old home country) with a combination of Trig TT21 1090ES ADS-B out transponder and a Garrecht TRX1500 ADS-B in & FLARM receiver which is coupled with the Garmin G3X by means of mapped visual and audio alerts. Basically, the system is doing a decent job. But occasionally, I do NOT get a warning when I should have. Airliners are practically always detected and visualized but certain planes, albeit some newer ones that certainly must have an ADS-B out capable transponder are not shown. Some of them came really close. What's a possible reason? Bad antenna? This bugs me because the system suggests an appearent level of security that can become potentially hazardous if you rely too much on it. Is there anything I could improve?

Please spread the word; never add music to explanation videos.

Why the music in the background? We are trying to concentrate on what you are saying.

Also around the 4 minute mark you said legacy transponders use UAT, but they actually use 1090, but don’t have the extended squitter, required for ADS-B. Very accurate video otherwise, thank you!

STOP YOUR FUCKING BACKGROUND MUSIC!!!!
