CRJ_simpilot Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Couple nights ago I was watching air traffic on the ever so popular ADS-B Exchange website at 3AM. Mostly due to hearing every now and then a prop over head at that hour and wondering just who would be flying at that time? (It was a med Evac King air something or other). Well, I also saw a fair amount of Med Evac aerial screws as well. In particular, a couple that made a hop to KFNL for fuel and back to the hospital and whatnot. When I saw the second helicopter lift off from the hospital there was a TIS-B position indicator that showed up on the ADS-B Exchange map probably near the pad or thereabouts. Question: Wikipedia indicates this is data FROM a facility? Or am I just seeing communications to and from the other helicopter that just landed on the roof pad to aid in any TCAS type stuff? If TIS-B was emanating from the pad somewhere or at the hospital that would be the first I ever knew they had something like that and is very interesting. I have the felling the TIS-B position wasn't accurate or the "box" for this signal hardware is near there somewhere. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
