Prepare Now for the ADS‑B In Mandate
The next wave of aviation safety regulation is approaching. A proposed mandate will require all aircraft equipped with ADS‑B Out to also carry ADS‑B In by 2031—closing critical gaps in traffic visibility and cockpit awareness.
FreeFlight Systems’ certified Dual-Band ADS‑B In solution delivers more than compliance—it’s a performance upgrade:
- Dual-Band Reception: Full-spectrum traffic awareness via 1090 MHz & 978 MHz
- TCAS II Fusion: Enhanced collision avoidance through integrated traffic data
- Real-Time Weather & NOTAMs: FIS‑B support for smarter in-flight decisions
- Flexible Integration: Ethernet, RS‑232, ARINC‑429 compatibility with modern and legacy avionics
- Certified & Retrofit-Ready: TSO-approved with broad STC coverage
- Proven Integrations: Collins Aerospace Pro Line 21 and Universal Avionics
Unlike many ADS‑B solutions on the market, FreeFlight’s system is built for interoperability—designed to enhance your existing cockpit environment rather than replace it. Whether you’re flying with legacy systems or modern flight decks, our solution delivers seamless situational awareness without disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes FreeFlight Systems’ Dual-Band ADS-B different from other solutions?
FreeFlight Systems’ Dual-Band ADS-B receiver delivers hybrid surveillance using ADS-B IN and TCAS II integration, compact design, and proven compatibility with both legacy and modern aircraft. If your aircraft is already equipped with ADS-B out, retrofitting FreeFlight’s Dual-Band ADS-B will not require transponder upgrades or complex system overhauls, unlike other OEM Solutions. Our receiver plugs into existing avionics—making it a faster and a more cost-effective path to real-time situational awareness and scalable fleet modernization.
Is ADS-B In required by regulation?
While ADS-B Out is currently mandated in many regions, ADS-B In is not yet required—but its adoption is accelerating due to its clear safety benefits.
A study found that 42% of pilots using ADS-B In reported it helped them avoid a mid-air collision, and that number rose to 51% among pilots equipped with both ADS-B In and Out. Additionally, aircraft equipped with ADS-B In have shown a 53% reduction in accident likelihood.
Pilots consistently report improved situational awareness, faster decision-making, and greater confidence in busy airspace. Many now consider ADS-B In essential—especially when flying in congested corridors or low-visibility conditions.
Investing in ADS-B In now not only prepares your aircraft for future mandates—it delivers immediate safety and operational value that pilots trust and rely on.
How does ADS-B improve flight safety?
ADS-B In has been shown to significantly reduce accident risk. Aircraft equipped with ADS-B In have experienced a 53% lower likelihood of accidents and an 89% reduction in fatal mid-air collisions when paired with ADS-B Out. Pilots report greater confidence in high-density airspace and improved decision-making during visual separation and weather avoidance. These benefits are especially impactful in uncontrolled or remote environments, where traditional radar coverage is limited.
Is this solution compatible with my avionics suite?
Probably. FreeFlight Systems’ Dual-Band ADS-B receiver is designed for broad compatibility across both legacy and modern avionics platforms. Unlike other solutions that often require OEM-specific upgrade paths or proprietary ecosystems, our receiver integrates seamlessly with existing systems and supports popular cockpit apps. However, contact your local dealer or our customer support team to verify.
