I'm hoping to do my ADSB validation flight this weekend. Messing with the install got my wife asking me what exactly it does...I really don't know the answer.
BUT, she also has been asking about me getting a SPOT device like I got for my dad several years ago; I was looking at APRS tracking as well.
All of that said, can't she track me pretty reliably through the ADS-B websites like ADS-B Exchange or others?
Do any of you have a favorite website, or any of them work any better than others? Is there a reason other than geek factor for me to get a license and do APRS if I have ADSB?
If I were to put my plane down somewhere, would ADSB give a reasonable enough last signal for search and rescue purposes?
Thanks to you all who know more than me!
