ADS-B Compliant?

[Meshach]

When bought the AC, the 335 was already installed. Broker listing had said “no ADS-B”. I asked my mechanic if it has ADS-B out, he said if it doesn’t have a U-avionics tail beacon, it doesn’t… How do I know for sure? 

[Meshach]

To be clear, it does Not have a U-avionics tail beacon. But the paperwork would seem to indicate that it does have ADS-B out…?

@Meshach It would seem that if it’s truly a GTX335 it should have ADS-b out. The GTX325 is the Mode C only.

Take a recent flight time and do a FAA performance request and see what’s being picked up…

I did one of those but frankly I’m not sure what I’m looking for on the report

Maybe this will help.

The report shows you have 1090 mhz adsb out and your system is set to report dual adsb in.  Normally you wouldn’t have dual in unless you’re using a portable with dual?  So you do have adsb out.  The “in” setting adjusts how the adsb system sends you traffic.  That might need some thought/research, but the adsb out is good.

Thanks!

So this report is proof that I have ADS-B out? My A/P and the broker were both wrong?

Pretty much!

The report would not have come back with any data if your system wasn't transmitting (the 'OUT' part)!

BTW, love your "audio panel"; that's the one I have

Looks that way.  I hope you got a discount for not having ADS-B-out.

The adsb in “dual” or “none” or “uat” thing is always confusing, but I think your system reports your capabilities so the adsb system knows what traffic you might see or might not see and if it needs to send you the data over uat, then it does.

Example - if you have no “in”, then the adsb system doesn’t send you the atc radar traffic around your aircraft as you couldn’t receive it.  
 

Or also, if you’re UAT only, 1090 mhz adsb traffic will be sent to you over uat.  Id think most systems are dual receivers now though.  If you’re using a portable though, you might want to set the “out” system to report “dual in” so the faa will send you the non adsb traffic around your aircraft.  It’s pretty darn confusing.
 

at least that’s how I understood it…

ADSB In is not transmitted to a specific aircraft it is just transmitted.  So if your ADSB registration says In, but you don't have it it doesn't change anything.

The GTX-335 does not have ADSB In.  It is only ADSB Out.  There are two versions, one with a built in GPS and one without.  The one without GPS needs a separate GPS for position data.

My CAP-10 has a GTX-335 with built in GPS, because it does not have a GPS at all.  I am planning on changing to a GTX-345 and GNC-355 (GPS and Comm)

I think adsb in is transmitted to a specific aircraft in certain situations.  That’s how you get the non adsb aircraft via the faa radar.  Those aren’t sent out unless there’s an “in” aircraft near them.  Ill try to find a document, but actually im pretty sure about it.

Here, read this one.  Tis-b and ads-r are only transmitted to “client aircraft” and depend on their out/in status.  Now, that doesn’t mean that you can’t pick up the uat sent to other aircraft, you will if they are close to you.

in contrast, fis-b (weather) is not client based and is just broadcast to all.
