What is the difference between ADS-B and transponder?
Current transponders enable ATC and other aircraft to know your aircraft’s relative position and altitude. ADS-B adds important information to help project and prevent traffic conflicts by estimating intent,” explained Jake Biggs, Textron Aviation’s aftermarket engineering manager.
How serious is a pilot deviation?

Why do pilots say Niner?
Aviators often speak “pilot English” to avoid miscommunications over radio transmission. “Tree” for instance, means three, “fife” is the number five and “niner” means nine, says Tom Zecha, a manager at AOPA. The variations stemmed from a desire to avoid confusion between similar-sounding numbers, he says.

The ‘S’ of Mode S is ‘selective’, but it doesn’t match with ADS-B that broadcast without interrogation signal. Selective interrogation is used by the transponder to filter incoming interrogations. ADS-B is an ‘broadcast’ service, messages are send automatically using the transponder (so the name ‘squitter’).
Is Mode C the same as ADS-B?
ADS-B aircraft positions are updated much more often than those operating ADS-C. As such, ADS-B provides a much more accurate picture to Air Traffic Control. The accuracy of the position reporting allows ADS-B position plots to be considered surveillance control.
Is a pilot deviation a violation?
If a pilot deviates from an assigned altitude by more than 300 feet, an altitude violation occurs. (This is the reason your flight instructor is always reminding you to “check your altitude!” Altitude deviations are often the result of a communication error between the pilot and controller.
