I think we misunderstood each other or I was was not clear enough : I was refereeing to ADS-B out not in ;
quoting the ROTOR Act : : Closes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) loophole that permitted the Army Black Hawk to fly without broadcasting ADS-B Out.
That would mainly be for the benefit of ATC .
ADS-B in, together with a CDTI, is what I said to be L
quoting myself : It might have changed something if the Heli was equipped with a CDTI ( ADS-B in display) as it is a powerful tool to help identify traffic visually
So in fact we both agree .
