Overview
|
ADS-B is a subject of great interest and this book provides an accurate and comprehensive look at ADS-B including information that will not be found anywhere else. Although one can click on the web and be inundated with ADS-B information the reader is still faced with organizing the information needed and verifying the accuracy of the information found on the web.
The book provides a single dependable factual source which ties all the information together in an orderly and easy to understand structure. The book is well indexed and organized so the reader can select the topics of interest. Some examples of what you will learn from this book: a) An overview of how the system works, b) Considerations in selecting equipment including a detailed discussion of 1090 compared to the UAT system, c) How to know when buying a new or used aircraft if the equipment meets the Jan 1, 2020 requirements, d) Requirements for both certified and experimental aircraft, e) Considerations when installing equipment, f) How to tell if older equipment is approved to the Jan 1, 2020 requirements g) Gotchas and how to avoid them, h) And much more. The author, John Ferrara brings a unique blend of knowledge and experience to the task of providing clear and accurate practical presentation on the many aspects of ADS-B. He is a long-time pilot and aircraft owner and holds a degree in electrical engineering from The Massachusetts Institute of Technology. John started flying in 1960, is instrument rated and has about 6000 hours including many hours of flight instructing. He owns and regularly flies a Piper Twin Comanche ADS-B equipped. John also volunteers his time and serves as co-chair of the RTCA SG-5 committee preparing a new technical document for the FIS-B (Flight Information System-Broadcast) system. |

Reviews
Even though now getting slightly dated, this is a very thorough, well-organized guide to the intricacies of ADS-B. Much better than trying to piece together small bits of information from multiple random sources, and to get it from a real expert on this subject. (I have a hard copy and cant speak to the quality of the eBook version.)
