As an aside to that, why do Delta B767's not have ADSB. I would have thought that their aircraft would be equipped. Other airlines with B767s seem to be equipped or is it that the Delta crews have been instructed not to use it for some reason.
Cheers
Ian
Ian
I thought that DAL 767's were equipped, but don't have my database handy at the momen, will check when I get home
Ian
Have check the database at GAS
DAL 767 N195DN A17B16 Boeing 767-332
Malc,
I would have thought that they should all be ADSB equipped. Quite often the B767's fly over without their position showing on the map as they are only transmitting Mode S and not ADSB. Most strange.
Ian
Do get a few flying over here, River Humber area, and as far as can remember they do show up on the map, but as you said I would have thought they would all have been equipped. Will look through my saved files and see what I can find
Looks like most of their 763s (well the ones logged over here) are mode-s only but the 764s are ADS-B equipped
That may explain it?
Ian
See article at
http://www.aviationtoday.com/av/categories/commercial/12652.html reference Delta and 767-400's
I've logged 20 US Mil 1 with ADB-B and those don't even include a few E-6Bs that are either overseas or on the west coast. There are three that are mis-coded that will screw up the stats.
Malc,
Regarding the article, most of which went 'over my head', does this mean that ADSB is going to be done away with in the future and replaced by this 'ethernet system'.
Ian
No the ethernet is the networking system that is now being fitted to Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Its much faster interfaces between the avionics and on the back of this faster processing allowing the ADS-B system to be incorporated. Or so I am told!
Thanks Malc. Should ADSB be discontinued, we know who to blame !
Cheers,
Ian
Hopefully the way forward is ADS-B. Just got to get the authorities to go serious on it and make it a compulsory fit!!!
