We have the SkyRadar ADS-B system, coupled to our GRT Horizon HXr EFIS. This gives us ADS-B in, while our Trig Mode S transponder gives us ADS-B out.
We have gone for several flights lately where we visually saw traffic that never showed up on the EFIS, and it quickly became apparent that I had no idea if it was because the guy was flying without a transponder, or if the ADS-B ground transmitter was "down", or if my system was malfunctioning.
I'm wondering if there's a standard way to check the functioning of an ADS-B system in an airplane?
Thanks!
