You can get =0A ADS-B for $1500-1700 for some systems, so with that, would the $9000 price =0A tag be worth it? -I was flying between SLC and oregon over remote =0A areas of Idaho a few weeks ago and I was in ADS-B coverage. When near SLC =0A I was in Mode-S coverage. -So while I completely agree that Active =0A Traffic is great, the timeline for implementation isn't that far out for =0A some of this stuff and it can be done today and be fairly cheap. -So =0A it may fit the needs of many. - But, I can't tell you what will =0A interface with the G900X. -It may well be that this new system is =0A your best choice simply because that's all that will do the trick with your =0A system. One thing regardless, you're absolutely right that =0A having traffic is a big safety feature.

I currently have TI S Traffic which is fantastic =0A where TIS is available. Unfortunately hal f of my regular commute the TIS =0A drops off -"Traffic No Longer Available " and then you are on your =0A own. Or as I call it "old school." When TIS is working it is a real comfort =0A in the congested Los Angeles basin where there can often be a dozen =0A aircraft within a few miles o f you all going different directions at =0A various altitudes and speeds. Most of which you can't see. Helicopters =0A seem to be the worst as they are low and stationary. I am based where =0A many of the heavy lift fire fightin g helicopters stage for fire & =0A rescue (currently working the Station Fire). Plus most all the local =0A network news choppers so there is a l ot of roto activity. -The other =0A night I was departing WHP after 8:00 pm, the tower was closed so I was in =0A communication via CTAF with a NEWS chopper flying low. I could not see =0A them visually but had them on th e "fish finder." Because we were in =0A communication and he had sight of me I was able to fly right over the top =0A of him (+1,000') and I confirmed he was at 2,000 MSL. He responded with a =0A surprised affirmative. I knew this because I was climbing through 3,000 =0A and my PFD showed "-1.0, -1.1, -1.2..." and his direction vector. When I =0A visited Deems in mid-summe r. Yes visiting Deems in AZ in mid-summer. =0A Duhhhhh. We were 8 miles out lining up for DVT with prob ably 7 other =0A aircraft in the area. None were easily visible out the windo w however I =0A did see them on the display. It looked like herding cats a s they were all =0A going different directions at different altitudes & sp eeds but I =0A could see as they all made their random turns for extended Lef t Base =0A entry to DVT. It was cool to see these random indications all l ine up in =0A front of me. With the visual verification I was able to easily slide in =0A with adequate spacing and set up for arrival. Nothing beats two eyes out =0A the window but Traffic is a wonderful additional tool to ha ve at your =0A disposal.

I flew out of Tulsa Riverside for at least eight years; This guy had a private ticket only for at least 22 years (FAA records). From the article he departed RVS and flew for 30 minutes but crashed within 10 miles of the airport. When I first heard the report I thought he hit the 1600 AGL antenna about 5 miles north of where he crashed. also remember that a VFR RV10 pilot and another IFR pilot do not make an RV10 instrument pilot especially if the RV10 is glass equipped. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OKLA_PLANE_CRASH?SITE=FLTAM &SECTION=US ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
