A trail behind each aircraft 3. A button to silence the alarm if you acknowledged an aircraft 4. The whole thing is based on GPS, right? Like the aircraft send their GPS coordinates? If so, is there a GPS on your unit so it always knows where exactly the centre of the radar should be? 5. Integrate this thing into an RC remote. Then send that data via telemetry to your flight controller and show it in the OSD. :D

Awesome stuff! I like that it's a nice self contained unit. I agree, it is a bit of a problem not having affordable ADSB receivers in aircraft, however it's getting cheaper, quickly. TCAS is not necessarily the answer, it's just one solution that happens to cost a LOT as it's certified as you mentioned. There are cheaper options such as FLARM displays which can give a similar radar display in the cockpit as to what you built, and it's not as expensive to buy or install. And importantly you can feed the ADSB signals into FLARM. I'm buying an ADSB IN device for my FLARM that's $500 for example. TCAS is designed for big planes going fast that never go near each other. FLARM works well for other aircraft such as gliders, helicopters and small planes. Basically TCAS and FLARM are providing the collision detection algorithms + displays, and alerting (and avoidance directions in the case of TCAS). Technically we are allowed 'portable' equipment in the cockpit (e.g. Cell phones, tablets etc) so there's no reason you couldn't build one of these designed to sit on top of the dash board. And all completely legal, as long as it's not permanently installed and follow the guidelines for portable equipment.
@xjet

Yes, FLARM is a great option, the OGN is even better (because it's cheaper). The fact that so few GA pilots equip their aircraft with such options and that such options aren't mandated by regulators (whereas they're busy trying to force transponders and RemoteID on RC model and drone fliers) speaks volumes to the hypocrisy surrounding the "risk based regulations" that abound at the moment.

In the aircraft system you can set range and hight difference and as it has a GPS receiver it will give the warning from your current position. So there is a sysetem to help avoid mid air for full size (at least in the UK) and it could I am sure be easy to have a reciever only vertion for use by model fliers here, as ADSB is not a requirment on light aircraft or microlight aircraft in the UK, that said neither are transponders so the mark 1 eye ball is still needed. Now if ADSB we required by all aircraft then you fantasitc system would cover 99%, our pilot aware covers about 60% and the problem is all cost (both money and weight), your system would only pick up about 40% of light aviation in the UK but even that at the price is good.

It is low-cost but doesn't operate on the 1090 MHz band rather 868 MHz. I believe variants also receive 1090 MHz ADS-B. Next stage: equip your RC plane with ADS-B in and autopilot, and interpret nearby threats such that the autopilot avoids being in the near path of an ADS-B source... You're welcome! All the best, Rob

The reason why you do not have a TCAS system is because unlike for models, there is a paper trail associated with parts, development, certification. This is the reason why if you go to buy even something as simple as a seat from an airplane, you will get a hefty price tag, because you can view the history as to where that seat has been, which aircraft and the like with its serial number. And the development to get something certified is also very expensive for manned aviation and slow, so TCAS as we know it today costs between 25k to 150k USD per aircraft, because of this slow certification and paper trail. And one of the reasons this process exists, is because it is a price that was also paid in blood, before this was strictly enforced, you had incidents like the Partnair flight 394, that was caused by an "uncertified" / pirated bolt on the rudder that couldn't take the strain.

In the UK there is a company called Pilotaware who have produced a similar system that will display traffic on a moving map navigation app. The problem is that the CAA have not made a clear statement about which system of conspicuity we should fly with. ADSB looks like the future but it will take at least twenty years for the majority of GA aircraft in the UK to have this capability. In the meantime we have the normal transponder systems, gliders use FLARM and many people either don’t have or don’t use either system. So anyone trying to create a simple and cheap traffic awareness system has to mitigate for the various options. Without the GPS coordinates transmitted by ADSB then theee systems have to estimate the position of the transmitting aircraft. But there is a further issue - people believe that an aircraft will display on a radar screen. This may have been true for metal aircraft thirty years ago but we didn’t have wind turbines then or so much radio signals. So today, unless you are transmitting either ADSB or a transponder then it is likely that the air traffic controller will describe you as a possible signal but more likely as clutter. A simple statement from the CAA would ensure that all home built aircraft and any aircraft having their avionics updated would start from now to have ADSB fitted. Problem as you say is the cost. Certified systems are expensive.

Was going to say need a way to Holt the alarm but maybe you don’t want that or people will forget to turn on. Maybe just a push and hold button

Next step is to add a small GPS module so the device knows where it is. Center point is self setting. Most are a simple serial connection, shouldn't be too difficult to add in. But, yea - feature creep and expense. Maybe as an option?? Eager to see your source show up on github.

Hi Bruce, have you got the next build video ready? Or are you still in development? We are dying to build one of your genius devices here! Keep safe.

Part of certification includes testing, you can't just come up with an unproven system in your shed and say Voila! A bit like how on this vlog signals appeared well within the range you stated your system worked in.

Making an ADSB receiver is cheap and has been done many times before. Having an ADSB out transponder is expensive. A large part of the expense is certification, mostly because for IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) aircraft in controlled airspace ATC (Air Traffic Control) provide separation between aircraft so they need to know where you are, what altitude you are, and where you are heading and at what speed. That has to be accurate enough to maintain the separation required by the regulations. So basically, because big airliners have demanding requirements if I want ADSB out in my microlight that can barely make it beyond visual range of the airfield I have to pay airline prices for airline quality with airline certification. A sensible alternative would be allowing VFR (Visual Flight Rules) aircraft to use uncertified (but compliant) ADSB as long as they stay outside controlled airspace. Then I could spend hundreds of dollars for poor mans TCAS instead of tens of thousands for the real thing. But that's a sensible alternative. Unlikely to be acceptable to bureaucrats.

Hi Phil, you used the term “microlight”, does that mean you are in the UK? If so you can legally now use a non certified gps source coupled to a transponder to be ADSB out. I have a Trig TT21 with an input source from a Pilot Aware Rosetta unit so I can now “see” other transponder equipped aircraft, FLARM traffic, other Pilot Aware units and some gliders. Not cheap, but not unachievable in terms of cost.

Bruce, would this pick up military aircraft too? I fly in the Scottish Highlands, and the main threat for me is low flying military aircraft tearing down the valleys at as little as 100ft AGL, with helo's authorized right down to ground level.

Its the typhoons screaming down the valley at speed that are the problem, as sometimes you see them before you hear them if they are getting up close to the sound barrier. Doesnt give you much time to get out the way. Usually they stick to their designated no fly zones, but theres always one or two that decides not to

Hey Bruce, there is a airborne warning system for GA. It's called FLARM and costa about 1600€.
@xjet
4 жыл бұрын
Yeah... but FLARM isn't manadatory (in the way that ADSB is becoming) and it *is* expensive. I have a FLARM receiver in my hangar connected to the Open Glider Network and all it picks up are gliders because very few other manned aircraft have FLARM fitted around here.

@@xjet Thx for your response. But that's not the my point. I was on the GA collision topic and there is already an ADS-B integration in some more advanced FLARM products such as PowerFLARM. I think FLARM should become mandatory in all VFR aircraft. Back to our problem and your great product, is there an altitude threshold for the alarm or just the lateral boundary? Also in my opinion it would be better if only aircraft flying towards the your device are creating an alarm as leaving planes shouldn't be a problem. Nevertheless, great work from your side making the RC hobby better and safer for all of us!

@@bttdoorgunner There is of course an altitude barrier and a distance barrier. To activate the alarm, an aircraft must be below the altitude barrier and within the distance barrier. This ensurses that you are not annoyed by aircraft flying overhead at altitudes that do not pose a risk to your own flying.

I definitely want one of these ... are you going to release the plans on how to build this ? or perhaps do a build video ? This would be incredibly helpful if you were trying to demonstrate to the authorities that you have every intention of keeping your flights safe and legal. I feel that I must have this tool in my bag...Also I have to tell you Thank you for making this for us all to see.
