I did my last 2 flights with a Stratux! Its nice to see the Metars before listening to the Awos. I have yet to see radar weather on the screen, but that is because I havent flown around precip yet.
@Paul Scotchford. Unfortunately, we don't have near the commercial infrastructure required to support that endeavor. Would be nice don't get me wrong. :)
@@brucefox6580 Yeah I know, but have a look at the link here, a bit from CASA on VFR ADS-B encouragement www.flightsafetyaustralia.com/2018/11/be-seen-and-be-safer/?fbclid=IwAR2T8Th8FIvlY3mteloVz-O_O0yckTWWyI6jjmu9s6_iR0ZbFuq0WUnD-8M
You can't afford $200 for in-cockpit weather? That's less than one tank of gas in a typical Cessna. If you can't afford that, then you literally can't afford to fly.
I really don't understand why WiFi is the preferred data link for most of these. Virtually every consumer device can only be associated with only one WiFi connection at a time (regardless of whether infrastructure or ad-hoc). Bluetooth, by design for nearly a decade, allows for multiple connections simultaneously and also leaves your WiFi radio free for a data connection. Granted it's somewhat unlikely that you'll have an internet connection setup inflight, but on the ground, I've found that devices that connect over WiFi to be annoying from the standpoint that I have to choose between an internet connection and communicating with a peripheral device...whose use is often augmented by having an internet connection. Unless there's a serious bandwidth need, Bluetooth seems preferable as a data connection can be maintained while using the device. Maybe someday WiFi chipssets that allow multiple Network connections simultaneously will be commonplace in consumer devices.
A wireless network card works the same as any TCP/IP network card, and most operating systems support virtual IP addresses. A second IP address can be tacked on to the card for it to join a specific network. Just don't give it a gateway address, and your device can sit on two networks. Once Apple and Microsoft see the benefit for users, they will roll it in as a feature. (Technically an OS should be able to accept multiple gateways, but in this case you don't need it.)
I just purchased the Sentry unit have not yet used it - plan on using it tomorrow. I live in Canada and we use a satellite based ADS-B system. From my understanding it does not received the Canada Satellite based signals, is that correct? From my understanding it will pick up in-air aircraft that are ADS-B out.
I gather from the schematic diagram of how this system works, ADS-B out and ADS-B in are of zero use or help if one is a bush/mountain/backcountry pilot flying down canyons or through mountain ranges. What I mean is, ADS-B in/receive will not hear the output signal of nearby airplanes with ADS-B out/transmit, because the ADS-B out/transmit signal is only detected by special towers and not directly by nearby ADS-B in/receive devices. That's a bit of a bummer.
That should be ADS-B 2.0 but nowhere have I seen that they (the FAA) are talking about that. Having airplanes talk to other airplanes on a network (I have heard of people talking about that) shouldn't be difficult if the software is setup correctly. The transmit/receive hardware is already there. I do a lot of mountain flying with my airplane and never really fly into any controlled airspace so ADS-B is not so useful. However, during my flight training in complex airspace, ADS-B was invaluable and I really enjoyed the added information. I was able to find other aircraft much fast than: "Traffic at your 10 o'clock, low."
@@MJ-td3ij : Yeah, that is what I was thinking. I too fly almost exclusively in the boonies, and like you said, airplanes with ADS-B in must be receiving ADS-B out signals from pretty much every nearby airplane within line of sight (if not slightly more). So it is a bit surprising this wasn't in version 1.0 of ADS-B.
Thank you. Excellent, crystal clear explanations. After watching the Talos Avionics vids I went to the Appareo site to get info from the users manual regarding the AHRS recovery from unusual attitudes and was surprised by the dearth of information. I'd like to know if the Stratus is able to recover from a 'tumble'. Paul, as a backup AHRS it's pretty useless if it can't recover. I would want it to be bulletproof as a backup because incorrect or contradictory indications can be fatal.
Hide 32 of those devices ( powered on ) in your buddy’s airplane , 5 in his car and just air mail about 100 of them to various airports. That shouldn’t cause any chaos
BustedWalletGarage you have raised a potential security issue that many might not have considered there. I guess Adsb transmitters would benefit from some form of authentication??
Just watch Star Trek when Jean-Luc Picard showed that the federation could read the transponder signals of the Kardasian War Ships. That was twenty years back.
Hi Paul, when i connect my iPad via wifi to an adsb device i loose the cellular data service that i pay for on the iPad. Also loose the foreflight (internet) weather data and the ability to file flight plans thru foreflight. I'm essentially connecting to a dummy wifi network on the adsb device. (1) Is there a workaround for wifi connected adsb devices to still use the cellular data service while connected? (2) which adsb devices use bluetooth? Thanks!
I didn't have time to cover this, but the Stratus 3 allows this and is one of the selling points. I didn't try it because my iPad isn't cellular equipped.
Your issue is just a setting on the iPad, there is a setting toggle to NOT USE cellular data *if* connected to a Wifi network (even a dummy one like the stratus). Find that setting under the cellular tab in settings, and set use cellullar data when connected to wifi!
For sure you could make one of these for $350 or so. $50 GPS module, $150 in transmitting equipment, and the rest in computers and voltage controller. Could easily be that small and no need to be "installed"
While this is a bit dated, I liked it anyway. I have a Stratux and, in a previous partnership, a Stratus 3. Frankly, the FIS-B is the most important element from a safety point of view. As a regular IFR pilot flying in plenty of IMC, I've noticed that weather is what is usually trying to kill me. But TIS-B (traffic) is a very close second. And, of course, who does not like having a WAAS geo-located reference of their own location on their charts for situational awareness "only"? No one in their right mind does NOT want this. I roll my eyes at the aviation super gods that extol the virtues of a paper chart as back up. Yeah, whatever. In my flight bag I have a back up cheap iPad with the same EFB installed and my iPhone with the same. You can store your paper where the sun don't shine. The shameless plug that Paul gives himself for the article he wrote is, well, hucksterism. Entertaining hucksterism I might add.
Is it allowed in a commercial flight as a passenger? (Assuming you got a window seat of course.) Meaning can you use it as an “in” not “out” receiver only?
It's going to depend on the aircraft and how you mount it. I wouldn't have it near the compass, as you know metal components will interfer. Probably go to the farthest right or left as possible.
anyone experiences loss of reception, the Dual happened twice, out of probably 10. Very disappointed. I followed your video to get the Dynon, the reception is terrible, on the ground and in the air. I compared side by side with the Garmin GDL50, the GPS accuracy is 93m, that's worse than my iPhone 7
Without the "local package" it seems to me that just ADS-B In is not going to be worth the effort even if free. If you're flying along and the airplane w/Out that's headed towards you hasn't just received the local package to send to me then it's not going to work. Somebody who's knows please correct me if I'm wrong. Also you can build these from scratch with a Rasberry Pi SBC for around $100.
The 'Out' signal is what triggers the 'local package' to be broadcast. So the airplane with the 'out' signal will have it for sure, as well as anyone in his vicinity that has an 'in' receiver. An 'in' only airplane may not see all other traffic now, but that situation will improve greatly once 2020 passes and most aircraft will have the 'out' signal.
Yes, a ADSB In receiver by it self has limitations.The traffic picture will have holes. I had a Stratus ESG (complies with ADSB Out 2020) installed in my Skyhawk for about 3500 with the FAA rebate . With Foreflight and a $299 Scout I see a more complete 15 nm traffic view. The ADSB data is an aid to to good visual look out . I often have visuals on AC that I probably would not have seen without the ADSB point out. And these include situations where I maneuver before the visual to maintain separation . I have not heard many pilots that have flown an AC with In and Out that thought it was a waste of money.
(one year later) As an Air Force avionics technician, the OUT is your plane giving required info to ATC. The IN is your plane RECEIVING info back from other planes/weather.

It's almost as if primary flight displays are massively overpriced. I'm shocked.
Radar will never go away.
Yes, however ATC might not see it unless there is a discrepancy between it and the ADSB tracks.
Its just an upgrade of the transponder. Its able to report back actual gps coordinates. @@machinesandthings7121
For security and safety radar will never go away. Being able to scan and locate from the ground is immensely useful.
