Just a few things... I wasn't aware that the TIS service on 1090 is
broadcasting weather information?
I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Bandwidth reasons.
I don't think you will find anyone replacing
their mode A/C with another mode A/C -
AFAIK you aren't allowed to fit a new Mode C for a replacement or in
a new installation in Australia. Mode S required.
The whole UAV thing is a game changer. Whereas previously it was
unlikely that 1090 ES would be saturated in Australia it is much more
likely if we get thousands of UAVs flying everywhere every day.
I'd have to have a really good reason to install ADSB right now in a
glider or light aircraft, with potentially cheaper solutions
operating perhaps on different frequencies and protocols to be
available soonish. I can't see that it would cost Airservices
terribly much money to install 978Mhz UAT receivers at least
alongside their existing ADSB 1090 ground stations.
