you need to get your facts right! the CAA have been conducting test with permit aircraft for the last couple of years doing just that,
my own aircraft that i have fitted a Pilotaware to has a uncertified GPS and as long as it is configured to output a SIL 0. through my Mode S transponder then it’s perfecty legal, A LAA MOD 7 paperwork had to be completed before my new permit was issued last June,
The CAA has been checking the accuracy of the ADS-B out from many permit aircraft since 2016 and found it satisfactory and well within the limits they we’re expecting,
so i suggest you read the relevant LAA mod 7 to get your facts straight,
