I wish drones could, at least optionally, transmit on ADS-B, with some "drone" flag. That could help pilots with ADS-B IN a lot, as long as it was clearly indicated as a drone.
- stevehawk 6y agobut then Garmin couldn't charge you $5000 for another radio.
- snuxoll 6y agoWith the proliferation of drones the entire ADS-B system would get overwhelmed, which is why the rules explicitly state that uSAS' are NOT allowed to transmit on ADS-B. Not to mention ADS-B OUT is expensive as all hell, power hungry and heavy - not a good match for lightweight unmanned craft.
- clamprecht 6y agoI hear ya... maybe ADS-B isn't the solution here, but I wish pilots could somehow see drones on the traffic screen.
- phkahler 6y agoIt should be enough to maintain minimums while the drones obey their maximums and stay away from airports. But that doesnt cover everything and it would be nice optionally show them.
