DonMuncy Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 I seem to remember seeing something about this, but can't remember, and can't find it now. Is there some way to verify that an installed ADS-B Out is functioning. Can ATC "see" it.

Obviously there is a screen they can check for the ADS-B. He said he could see my broadcast.
Bob_Belville Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 You can send an email to this FAA address and have them verify that your system is working. Here's the cover page of their report on my system. (My GLD 88 was among the first and my A. shop will re-program it to show flight ident which they did not realize was needed.)

LANCECASPER Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 You can also look on flight aware after the flight and it will show whether your ADS-B was working properly.

FAA will send results of your install. Phil
wishboneash Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Here's more information on how to set the Flight ID on the 650/750 http://www.braggavionics.com/Software_Upgrade_Documentation_files/Garmin%20GTN%20Pilot%27s%20Guide%20Supplement%20for%203.00%20190-01007-05%20Rev%20A.pdf
cnoe Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 You can also look on flight aware after the flight and it will show whether your ADS-B was working properly. FlightAware can tell you if your ADS-B is broadcasting "something", but it won't tell you if you're ADS-B "compliant". The e-mail link referenced is the way to go. I went through this last year making 3 trips to the Avionics shop (who seemed to be learning as they went) before I passed the compliance tests. I read somewhere that a large percentage of installations are NOT complying yet even though they have the equipment installed. My installing shop was a prominent Garmin approved facility but still they didn't know all the necessary steps in mid-2014. Cnoe

wishboneash Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 I just did this this morning thanks to your post. You should now see a clean report from the FAA avionics check. I had the same issue - everything checked out fine except for the flight ID on my first report.
dcrogers11 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Fly over my house and I'll pull out my GL-39 and 795 and see if you're on my screen. Don
ArtVandelay Posted February 19, 2015 Report Posted February 19, 2015 I get an error when on the ground, I'm using GDL88, I think it may because I don't have the 2nd antenna, anybody else get this?
Bob_Belville Posted February 19, 2015 Report Posted February 19, 2015 I only have one antenna. My report was fine except for missing "flight id". That field was not programmed. I fixed that yesterday.
