Answer
Yes, ADS-L is beneficial even if your aircraft is already equipped with FLARM or a Mode S transponder. Alongside existing protocols such as FLARM, ADS-L provides a unified language that can be received by a maximum number of systems, enhancing situational awareness and safety. The use of ADS-L can also facilitate the integration of other systems and technologies.
