<p>You are right John..</p>
<p>On numerous occasions I have passed over and under traffic out in the middle of nowhere that I would not have seen before ADSB.</p>

<p>Well, I've been using "In" for about a year.</p>
<p>I bought a used Stratus receiver and an iPad, but you're right.</p>
<p>It truly is scary to see how close traffic is that you never would have seen before.</p>

<p>Get ready ... you'll be shocked at how much and how close traffic is around you that, prior to ADSB, you were totally unaware of! </p>

<p>Obtaining the rebate was always part of my plan, so a test outside of Class B was never really an option (how often do the feds give you money for dong something required?).</p>
<p></p>
<p>I knew the system was working on the ground, the friendly RV who gave me a 5 by 5 radio report also stated that i was showing up on his ADSB-in platform</p>
<p></p>
<p>Interesting about waiting a bit longer to submit a report. I was probably on the ground for about 20 minutes when I sent my first email.…</p>

<p>I beta-tested a pre-production uAvionix "skyBeacon" and did numerous test flights and obtained PAPR's for most of them. My understanding was that if you're self-installing the unit in an EAB and not attempting to qualify for a rebate, you don't have to navigate in Class B as long as you're in a good ADSB coverage area and get a "passing" PAPR. However, doing this test in a Class B will assure you're in a good coverage area, so it's not a bad idea. My airstrip is in a relatively narrow…</p>
<p>I beta-tested a pre-production uAvionix "skyBeacon" and did numerous test flights and obtained PAPR's for most of them. My understanding was that if you're self-installing the unit in an EAB and not attempting to qualify for a rebate, you don't have to navigate in Class B as long as you're in a good ADSB coverage area and get a "passing" PAPR. However, doing this test in a Class B will assure you're in a good coverage area, so it's not a bad idea. My airstrip is in a relatively narrow valley with no coverage down in the valley floor. So, PAPR flights originating from the valley would tend to show ADSB errors in the take-off and landing phase. I learned pretty quickly to fly to one of the airports up on the plateau, in good coverage, and start and terminate a test flight there so the coverage was complete.</p>

<p>I'm impressed with the FAA's quick generation of reports. Usually, if you get a "your request failed to generate a result," it just means you didn't give them enough time - a few more minutes and likely you'd get a report with your tail number only. </p>
<p></p>
<p>It is truly interesting all the numerous parameters they check! Very small numbers of errors usually aren't significant and one can request a manual interpretation by a real human if there is doubt! I got one manual report and the tech also included a Google Map of my entire flight showing where the ADSB was working and where it wasn't.</p>
