Do you know what 'ADS-B In' is?
Yes I do, very much so. There were the ADSB-In trials into Brisbane a few years ago. I dont feel that simply receiving ADSB data, meets the definition of 'IN'.

There are some ADSB-IN 'equivalent' sytems, but unless there is a way for each aircraft to communicate the flight plan or trajectory/intent data, I dont feel that is what is meant by ADSB-IN.

ADSB-IN requires each aircraft to broadcast aircraft identification, absolute bearing/2D distance, heading/tracking, wake vortex category, relative altitude/absolute altitude, ground speed, and vertical velocity. It also requires that the aircraft handshake to understand and validate the other aircrafts data integrity, similar to ADS-C. The intent bus has been left open on the FMS for this capability.

Since SafeRoute simply receives ADSB and estimates the other aircraft trajectory, the cooperative feature is not there, so I dont feel that is an ADSB-In system.
