An academic question for you ADSB experts:
If a plane has one of the UAT units that 'sniff' the plane's existing mode C transponder output to transmit ADSB traffic info to the world, What happens when the plane isn't being painted by a radar? Does the plane become invisible to ADSB receivers in the area that would otherwise see its ADSB data?
Hope the question makes sense; if not, I'll try to rephrase the question.
