WHY I FLY WITH ADS-B Continued from page 28 options. Again, it's another benefit and savings you don't know about when you start with ADS-B." JEFF WOODARD * Cessna 172P Garmin 33/ES with ADS-B Out * Mooney M20J Avidyne AXP340 with ASD-B Out * Leases both aircraft back to Palm Beach Flight Club Woodard typically uses the ForeFlight with Stratus1 with displays on iPad. "I fly for pleasure and business mostly around Florida," he said. "I put the Garmin 33 in the Cessna about three years ago. I'm happy with the traffic I get with it. I had some issues with getting the traffic on my ForeFlight for a while, but that has gone away. I don't have ASD-B In yet. I've been looking to add the Avidyne MLB100 when that becomes available. "From the pilot's seat, you don't see a lot of benefits from the ADS-B Out. But I think the traffic I get on my iPad is definitely better. The weather updates are good for an overall planning perspective. The little indicator on the display says the weather is "one minute" old, but I can see out the windshield that it's older - the storms have moved a lot more than the display shows. So it's more of an overall planning tool than a tactical avoidance tool for avoidance." Woodard explained that he basically added ADS-B capabilities for the flight club aircraft to make sure everybody would have access to traffic information in the busy airspace around Palm Beach, Florida. "We try to do safety education seminars for our club members," he said. "It's not generally understood that you're not getting the full traffic picture if you don't have the ADS-B Out capability." He said that one question he has about ADS-B is what impact it will have on his trips to the Bahamas. "I'm flying to the islands on vacation, and I'm looking forward to seeing what I will pick up with ADS-B Out down there," he said. "Will I be able to pick up more aircraft out there? I hope so." q A GlobalParts Group Company Come see us at NBAA 2015 Booth #C7324 Your Part. Our Services.
