ABOUT ADS-B TRAFFIC
The receiver receives 978 MHz and 1090 MHz (2S only) trafc
information from ADS-B ground towers and ADS-B transmitter-equipped
(ADS-B Out) aircraft and relays it to ForeFlight Mobile.
If air trafc data is detected by the receiver, it will display in ForeFlight
Mobile relative to your aircraft.
Air-to-Air Trafc
Please be aware that the receiver will only receive air-to-air broadcasts
from other aircraft if they are ADS-B Out equipped and within range of
the receiver. Air trafc that is not equipped with a UAT ADS-B Out or
Mode S Extended Squitter transmitter will not be detected by the receiver
air-to-air.
Rebroadcast Trafc
Using its network of ADS-B ground stations, the FAA can rebroadcast
a custom trafc report to ADS-B Out equipped aircraft that are within
a 15 nautical mile radius and within 3500 feet in altitude of the ADS-B
Out aircraft. If your aircraft is not ADS-B Out equipped, it will not receive
rebroadcast trafc unless it is within range of an ADS-B Out equipped
aircraft that triggers it. If your aircraft is ADS-B Out equipped but is not
in contact with an ADS-B ground station, it will not receive rebroadcast
trafc.
