FAQ n.141892

Does ADS-L equipment transmit flight data such as position and altitude, similar to ADS-B Out?

Answer

Yes, ADS-L transmits parameters identical to those contained in ADS-B Out messages, including aircraft identification, position, GNSS altitude and more, but it does not require the transmission of e.g. barometric altitude, making the device more affordable. It also supports additional payload types, enabling future use cases such as traffic rebroadcasting, weather, etc.
