Thanks to both of you. That is useful.

Why are you upgrading ?
Is it at high cost ?
My Super Cub radiates ADS-B. I have a Trig TT21 transponder and a GNS430W

It is part of a larger overall G1000 software upgrade. It will be mandatory at some point. Cessna have savings on doing it now. Is it high cost? Of course it is an aircraft. Everything is.
Separately, I am a big believer in the benefits of ADS-B which come from more ubiquitous equipage.

You are right, this part of the question was useless

If I understand that correctly, that makes non-TSO ADS-B radiation a waste of time unless one has a tablet mounted somewhere to display the traffic.
This is the strong point, and why I guess they are allowing non compliance ADS-B. All these portable devices don’t care if the GPS source is a certified source or not. This makes the non compliance ADS-B quite low cost, AND ADS-B in low cost. It will give YOU better traffic awareness, just like that your TAS systems gives YOU better traffic awareness. The ADS-B variant has lower installation cost (for non compliance ADS-B out and ADS-B IN) then a TAS / GTS while they have a better accuracy. They have similair accuracy as Flarm (using same uncertified GPS position) tough with much better range, due to the high power output of the transponder, when compared to Flarm.
The only drawback as that not all mode S transponder have ADS-B (non compliance or in compliance).
Radiating ADS-B should be encouraged, as it will help all of use getting a the best traffic awareness for the lowest cost.
I’ve just configured the RV-10 to send ADSB-OUT inline with the LAA’s latest rules.
They were under strict rules to set the SDA and SIL to 0, to ensure that the signal is clearly noted as ‘integrity not assured’
My Dynon Skyview has two GPS sources, firstly a normal one (Their GPS 250 product) and also a new one which is USA 2020 ADS-B Compliant, meaning a higher reliability and integrity.
If i set my dynon to use the 2020, it gave out SIL/SDA readings of 2 or 3 (can’t remember)…. and then if i chose the older GPS I could actually choose which values i wanted radiating, so i chose Zero.
I assume that when the UK’s ADS-B trial is over, i can then go with the high integrity 2020 source, but for now have to use the one with less integrity.
P.S. RV-10 still not got permit to test fly yet. Still waiting.
