Mac, why couldn't iFly develope their own ADS-B IN perhaps licensing it from uAvionix in the same small Ping format that plugs into the USB port? 

OR

Build ADS-B IN into their next version of 740/740b.

Wow -- a couple great (out-of-the-box) ideas, Jim!  No doubt it comes down to revenue-producing priorities for AP, but let's hope that those of us who use and appreciate(!) the function and convenience of the LITTLE Ping are on the radar for "continuing airworthiness"...affordablywink.

Well put, Cobra -- I'd forgotten having read your related post.  Mac

Some thoughts that, I think, haven't been mentioned. 

Perhaps someone in the vast internet/pilot community has hacked into their Ping, figured out, and corrected whatever it is that's causing the problem.  I have no idea where to start looking, but someone may.

Although it seems obvious, maybe there's something in the Ping, or iFly setup that will fix this problem.  Since the Ping is getting the information from the ADS-B broadcast, maybe it's reporting the altitudes as one thing (AGL, MSL, Pressure, etc.) and iFly has a setting that will convert that value to the correct one.

Thanks Cobra, makes sense.  I just installed a Garmin GDL 82 for ADS-B OUT in my RV-8.  Had I realized I was having an issue with my Ping I probably would have gone with uAvionix Echouat with Skyfyx-.
