I agree, it's about safety. I purchased a PCAS once, now the company is broke, I know why, doesn't work well if at all and plenty of ghosts.

Don't think the producers will be happy with that. They charge a fee for it.

I placed mine on my rear window behind me. Might be better since I have a plastic plane but it showed up on AVPLAN no problem.

I read later on that AVPLAN need people to set up receivers around the place and upload the data to Avplans feeder systems from what I understand. In my office I can fire up AVPLAN and see traffic all around Sydney and beyond. https://www.avplan-efb.com/avplan-traffic/ Look down the bottom.

" In 2013 we introduced the first ADSB-in capability into AvPlan EFB and in 2015 introduced AvPlan Live which expanded this to include other AvPlan EFB users. In 2018 AvPlan Live traffic was expanded to include data via a network of ground based receives to show some ADSB and FLARM traffic as well." Also, with the latest ios for iPads I don't think you need to do the work around for "No Internet Access" anymore

https://www.avplan-efb.com/avplan/traffic-displays/ This has more information. Notice at the end a little dig at the opposition to share data?

I can't find anything on the Oz Runways site that confirms the internet side of ADSB. Someone with Premium will have to update us. As per my test last week, I still had internet but on the Oz Runways site they still have a page on how to set your iPad to support both connections. Maybe Apple did something because now you can't set a static ip without a gateway which was required before.

1. To connect to wifi with a device that I used to use for ADSB-in (I used a stratux) I couldn't get internet at the same time. Avplan wouldn't update any services (like weather) so setting a static ip on the wifi for the stratux allowed me to still get internet access via the sim card. 2. If I didn't have the stratux (adsb-in) I would have to rely on the internet from AVPLAN to get my traffic from adsb sources. Oz Runways doesn't get ADSB data from the internet for basic and then you need something like a stratux to get a source. Another words my friend was on the basic for Oz Runways and couldn't see my adsb paint where as I could see myself because I was on AVPLAN. 3. I think I answered point three. Does this info help?

A simpler term is "Follow the Money"

There must be a way CASA could aggregate the data to their ADSB. Just wish CASA would do something useful for us one day.

Yes, many discussions on this. One of the downsides of competition.

Mine's working well. I could see myself in Avplan with my rego. With the current ios on the iPad I don't have to set a static ip (which I couldn't anyway) for the internet to still work whilst connected to the sky echo. I was flying with another plane and Oz Runways doesn't show ADSB via the internet like AV Plan does. My friend couldn't see me.

I know one of the pilots and he spends his life in Hotels at the moment.

Would be amazing to start using this in a flight sim to play with.

Do you have to worry about downdrafts flying through those valleys?

Does anyone know how they do it in the Tecnam Twin? I haven't looked at the manual. I can only afford to fly it in a sim.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/04/27/airbus_rolls_hybrid_plane_grounded/ I think I should move this to another thread if I knew how. Sort of related to the above link but with more info.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabiru_Aircraft This might be a good start then you can download the POH from Jabiru for the ones you're interested in.

Is the big difference a propellor in the way?

What radio is it?

mkennard has created a new group called NSW Sport Aircraft Club - Wedderburn NSW. A forum for members of the NSWSAC Club. This is experimental as we haven't gone down this path before but have discussed it.

I can't seem to get the RSS feeds to work. Are they working?

Two things that come to mind. 1. Imagine if we could be at the forefront of technology to help the world, we have a lot of smart people who end up taken up by overseas institutions. Imagine if we supported them here. 2. I recently thought of drugs. Why bother trying to catch people importing or making drugs. It's the same argument. They never seems to make a difference when they catch someone and there is always someone else to fill up the gap in production but they spend millions trying to catch them anyway. So if we could use the same drive for climate change we might make a difference for everyone.

If you have x-plane you can try https://www.vskylabs.com Of course as mentioned in a previous post, it's more for routine than real world flying.
