"The ADS-B Guide" is a comprehensive 270 page book on all aspects of ADS-B OUT and IN and provides authoritative in depth information on the ADS-B system, equipment selection, installation and use. A compelling read covering things you have not thought about and not discussed anywhere else.
The available literature, web sites and forums often contain conflicting statements and inaccurate or incomplete advice. This book provides a single dependable factual source which ties all information together in an orderly and easy to understand structure. Although written for the non technical reader enough technical information has been included to interest the tech savvy reader.
Some subjects covered:
* 1090 vs UAT
* Aircraft can be purchased today ADS-B legally equipped but which
do not meet Jan 1, 2020 requirements.
* How to check equipment and interpret test results.
* Bottom antenna or Top and Bottom (diversity).
* Gotchas and how to avoid them.
* TIS-B operation and limitations
* FIS-B operation and limitations
* Keeping equipment current with software updates how do you know.
I bring a unique blend of knowledge and experience to the task of explaining ADS-B. I own a Piper Twin Comanche ADS-B UAT OUT and IN equipped since July 2013. I am a retired engineer with an electrical engineering degree from MIT. I volunteer with the FAA on ADS-B issues and am Co-Chair of the committee (RTCA SC-206) responsible for the FIS-B technical document on which the FAA basis the TSO requirements.
Book is $36 which includes standard USPS shipping and can be ordered at my web site "ADS-Bman.com"
