I appreciate the shout-out, Aron! This was one of my most favorite projects for a few reasons. First, it was nice to work with someone who wanted it done right the first time, including new panels and doing what needed to be done. That isn't always the case! It was also nice to be able to basically rip all of the old stuff out and replace it with new stuff. That makes it so much easier for me and makes the installation much cleaner. And, personally, I enjoyed integrating everything (mainly the JPI) with the airplane. Working with that huge wiring diagram on the wing was challenging, but I love a good challenge!! Thank you for letting me work on your airplane, it was a pleasure!!! Kevin Parker -
If your aircraft was equipped with the GDL-88 ADS-B transceiver (or any other UAT transceiver) and the other aircraft was equipped with at least ADS-B Out (Extended Squitter transponder), then that traffic would have been visible to you long before ATC knew it was there. If both aircraft were equipped with a GDL-88, then both aircraft would have seen each other, regardless of what kind of ATC coverage there was. The ATC coverage is important for aircraft that are not equipped with ADS-B Out or with only a Mode C or Mode S transponder. In the case of the near-hit described above, if both aircraft were ADS-B equipped, this would have never happened.
