I wasn't sure where to put this question so here goes.
I have noticed that the new Superjet flown by CityJet do not plot on my Basestation. FR24 appears to rely on MLAT to show it.
I thought all new aircraft had to have full SBS. Or have CityJet elected to turn it off?
Anyone know the reason please?

Possibly not using ADS-B.
What's the registration or hex code?
Edit, EI-FWA 4CA6C5.

Yep, that's the one! I think that's the only one they have at the moment.

Wasn't there a change in that all new aircraft above a certain weight had to have full ADS-B. All ATR's now have it (I believe).
Not sure if this is the current position?
Eurocontrol:
For Aircraft with a Civilian Registration:
Aircraft operating IFR/GAT in Europe are required to carry and operate Mode S Level 2s (i.e. with SI code capability) transponder(s) with Mode S Elementary Surveillance (ELS) capability. The applicability dates for this requirement is:
8 January 2015 for "new" aircraft, i.e. aircraft with an individual certificate of airworthiness first issued on or after 8 January 2015
7 December 2017 for aircraft with an individual certificate of airworthiness first issued before 8 January 2015
Aircraft operating IFR/GAT in Europe and with a maximum certified take-off mass exceeding 5 700 kg or having a maximum cruising true airspeed capability greater than 250 knots are required to carry and operate Mode S Level 2s transponder(s) with Mode S Elementary Surveillance (ELS), Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) (for fixed wing aircraft) and ADS-B 1090MHZ Extended Squitter (ES) capabilities. The applicability dates for this requirement is:
8 June 2016 for "new" aircraft, i.e. aircraft with an individual certificate of airworthiness first issued on or after 8 June 2016
7 June 2020 for aircraft with an individual certificate of airworthiness first issued before 8 June 2016
Note that aircraft operating under a civilian registration that do not meet specific criteria may be granted an exemption against the Mode S EHS requirements.
For State Registered Aircraft:
All State aircraft operating IFR/GAT in Europe are required to carry and operate Mode S Level 2s transponder(s) with Mode S Elementary Surveillance (ELS) capability by 7th December 2017.
Member States shall communicate and justify to the European Commission a list of State aircraft that cannot be equipped with ELS in due time before 1 July 2016.
All fixed wing transport-type State aircraft operating IFR/GAT in Europe and with a maximum certified take-off mass exceeding 5 700 kg or having a maximum cruising true airspeed capability greater than 250 knots are required to carry and operate Mode S Level 2s transponder(s) with Mode S Elementary Surveillance (ELS), Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) and ADS-B 1090MHz Extended Squitter (ES) capabilities by 7 June 2020.
The equivalent deadline for the communication of a list and justification of State aircraft that cannot be equipped in due time with EHS and ADS-B is 1 July 2018.
Rationale behind the above justifications may be compelling technical reasons, procurement constraints and State aircraft going out of service before 1 January 2020. In case of procurement constraints Member states' justification shall include the pertinent procurement plans.

Thanks Anmer! Not sure what the weights are of the SuperJet (must look it up).

Well it certainly weighs more than 5.7 tonnes (45.8 tonnes MTOW - according to Wikipedia) and cruises at 448 knots.
I guess it falls into the 7th June 2020 category as it probably had an airworthiness cert issued before 8th June - delivered 2nd June according to PB.

Yes, just noticed the latest one does plot. I assume the next ones will too.
