My wife and I just completed a rush trip this last weekend to Nebraska from Georgia to visit an old friend in Hospice. I recently completed an install of a GTN 650 and have it hooked up to two Dynon skyview displays with the 12-2 update and have passes the FAA ADS-B test site.
In north west Kansas both the Dynon displays and my foreflight with ADS-B running a Stratus lost all ADS-B signals even at 8000 feet going out and at 10,000 feet on the return flight. Yes we flew wrong altitude with ATC blessings going east bound. The partial loss of the ADS-b signal in Nebraska and NW Kansas was surprising.
I had thought all the ADS-B stations were up and running. There was not a lot of traffic this weekend due to the severe weather and winds but we did see a few airlines on the foreflight and a couple other planes. With all the weather the ADS-B radar returns would have been great in those areas but we bounced deviated a lot
And made it home safe and sound.
For those that live out there how has your coverage of ADS-B been?
Even on our corporate flights at upper flight levels We notice reduced coverage in this area
