Sorry, yes you're right, I was talking though my you-know-what.
The EHS Airspeed and Heading Report sends BDS60 which, notwithstanding the name, also has provision for both baro and inertial vertical rate as well as heading, IAS and Mach no.

In Spain we have no Mode S information yet. We have an upgrade in our SACTA system expectede for next month, apparently focused on the Mode S but still have no information about what the improvements are going to be (and, as usual, no training for it...).
