Many of the "products" in FIS-B are US-centric and it's doubtful whether they would be implemented in Europe without agreement on how they would be adapted for the way things are done here. As and when such agreement is reached, with widespread roll-out of the products, we would likely then incorporate them into SkyDemon.

I reconfigured my SE2 to receive TIS-B and was able to see rebroadcast MLAT aircraft positions (on my SkyDemon map) from about 10-15 NM from the airfield broadcasting TIS-B. I also had a small "tower" symbol displayed in SkyDemon superimposed on the airfield location. It changed colour from red to green which, I believe, indicated some kind of "quality" status for the received data. Tim D can probably elaborate on that feature.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 35, Visits: 265	Hi Team, Since you had a testing phase in the UK as well, I would like to know if the UAT TIS-B/FIS-B feature is still working in SkyDemon. If so, what features can we expect with a SkyEcho 2? Here is the Swiss link: https://ads-b.ch/live-status/ The trial operation started on November 3, 2025. Today, the following are being sent out: TIS-B: - ADS-B Traffic - FLARM Traffic - OGN Traffic FIS-B: - METAR/TAF - Weather Radar (Beta Version) What else is being implemented? TIS-B: - Transponder Traffic FIS-B: - Winds and temperatures aloft - Icing chart - NOTAMs - TFRs - AIRMET/SIGMET - PIREP Many Thanks Serge
