One pilot set to appreciate the benefits of ADS-B Out is Captain Peter Kuypers. Peter is the skipper of Sally B &#8211; Europe\u2019s last remaining airworthy B-17 Flying Fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter explained, \u201cWe are carrying out vital maintenance\nbefore we return to display flying. This will include adding ADS-B to the\naircraft. It may seem strange to suggest that a 24-ton aircraft, with a 103-foot\nwingspan needs to be more visible. However, adding a Trig TN70 GPS position\nsource to our Trig transponder makes a lot of sense. Visibility from the pilot\nseat is not the best and most of our flying is at low altitude, in busy VFR\nairspace. Having ADS-B Out will enhance our visibility and reduce the potential\nrisk of a collision. In fact, I would encourage all aircraft owners to install\nMode S and ADS-B Out equipment, as it will enhance safety &#8211; no matter what you\nfly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The addition of ADS-B Out technology has another spin-off.\nAircraft enthusiasts will be able to see Sally B, long before her engines can\nbe heard! Popular apps like Flight Radar 24 will display Sally B\u2019s ADS-B Out\nposition as soon as her transponder is switched on. Seeing her \u2018live\u2019 as she\nflies to an airshow is now an added attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aircraft Operator &amp; Team Leader Elly Sallingboe said,\n\u201cWe are grateful to Trig for their continued support. Sally B is also equipped\nwith two Trig radios, these avionics are dependable and really suit the vintage\npanel. We operate as a charitable trust, and it takes a remarkable group of\ndedicated volunteers to keep Sally B flying. We are all keen to get Sally B\nback in the air, display flying whilst honoring the brave veterans, who\noperated the B-17 in the dark days of World War Two.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo above &#8211; Remo Guidi Across Europe pilots are being encouraged to install ADS-B Out technology, this improves \u2018electronic\u2019 visibility and enhances flight safety.
