Besides coverage, ADSB will also provide a more accurate position and a much faster refresh rate. (i.e. allow closer seperation in IFR ops). Granted, doesn't do much for VFR ops. Unfortunately I am based at a class C airport and will have to comply.gahorn wrote:
ADS-B is supposed to provide ATC coverage for aircraft outside radar coverage.
By DEFINITION... Class C airspace HAS terminal radar.... and anyone operating beneath the Class C floor/within the 30 nm veil.... already must have an altitude encoding transponder. IT IS NOT LIKE THEY WON'T ALREADY KNOW YOU'RE DOWN THERE!!!! .... so WHY does an airplane with no intention of entering Class C must have ADS-B OUT...??????? This rule will deny access to many hundreds of smaller airports whose traffic has almost NO effect on the primary airport.
