And unfortunately a very few people don't know that AirSense in UK or rest of EU will only probably work less then 20% of the time!
Here's why: Majority of little General Aviation plane flying around aren't ADS-B equipped. It is not a mandatory requirement under EASA regulations and as ADS-B upgrade costs thousands, not many GA aircraft will do it. But it is in US, hence DJI selling it only within the America.
So AirSense will not see majority of those little planes. While those little planes are equipped with Mode C or Mode S transponders, which is sufficient for ATC radar identifications, but as they dont transmit any GPS data, this means your drone wont pick it up.
So the way I see it, for at least next 2 years, AirSense in the UK or EU is pointless and DJI know that. When ADS-B becomes mandatory, Im sure we will all enjoy new Mavic Air 3 with AirSense |
