FAA ADS-B Avionics System Check

[Brantel]

I flew this evening with the new updated GPS Position Integrity setting of "1E-7".

I have requested another report but imagine it will be Monday before I see it.

Will let everyone know how it worked out.

This place is simply awesome. Since 10AM this morning we have had extremely useful information shared by the FAA, Garmin and GRT and other smart people.

Welcome to the club, jdm117, please hang around.

Thanks for the e-mail link. I just sent a request to see how my Navworx ADS600-BG is working. (Mine has self contained GPS unlike Bob Lefflers system, so expectations and corrective actions will be different)

I too am watching with much interest and amazement. I have no dog in this game yet, but will very soon x2. Garmin's immediate quality of data (no confusion there) is impressive. Incredibly encouraged that an "insider" to the program has stepped out to engage us...

I sent my request in so looking forward to seeing what the report shows on Monday. Can you explain what the different items mean? I will need a book named "ADS-B report interpretation for dummies".

Hopefully the OP can give us some insight here.

Hi David,
I went and check my setup and seemed I had a couple of settings that needed to be changed. On my 430W, there is a setting that was set to ADS-B whereas I was told to change it to ADS-B +
Also on my GTX 330 setting, there is a field for GPS intergrity that was set to IE-3 and I was told to change it to IE-7.

I took another flight and will request another report to see if this has fixed the issue. I will report back once I get the report.

I confirmed today that it is a correct version but had the change a setting from ADS-B to ADS-B +

I will see if that makes a difference.

Thanks

The "decoder ring" you sent along with my report was something only an avionics tech could love. lol

In other words, with it, or without it, I had NO idea what the report was saying, other than "You failed".
