Ok, here is another funny question: Unless it is required by law, why would one need ADS-B? With all the zoning and altitude limits, isn't it impossible to come across manned aircraft anyways?
ADS-B may not be required in the US, but the reality is that both manned and unmanned aircraft routinely fly outside the air spaces and altitude limits they are assigned. As such, AirSense is very useful in helping to deconflict the airspace.
The NTSB just concluded that damage on a Los Angeles news helicopter likely is the result of a collision with a drone. It’s not the first time such an accident has happened, and it won’t be the last. Irresponsible drone pilots sometimes seek exciting footage by intentionally flying near manned aircraft; we don’t know if that was the case here, but for responsible drone pilots, AirSense would help them avoid this type of situation by getting a warning about approaching manned aircraft.
