> it’s one way broadcast so there isn’t a way to request a different view of data

I think what you mean is there isn't a way for _you_ to request data.

I'm sure you are operating a SDR on 1090 MHz as an ADS-B receiver, but that is only half the equation. Aircraft transponders also listen on 1030 MHz for interrogations and will respond appropriately. Secondary surveillance radar does exactly this in the United States around towered airports.

ADS-B is just a dumbed down version of the Identify Friend or Foe system deployed by the military.

Fantastic! If you'd like to grab coffee and learn more about how this stuff works (and how it should work in the future), my email is in my profile.
