By now every owner of an N-registered aircraft knows that January 01, 2020 is the FAA’s deadline for compliance with its ADS-B equipage mandate. And while that may seem like plenty of time to get your aircraft done, truth is, it’s not. Why?
Why You Need to Schedule Your ADS-B Installation Today
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA's January 1, 2020, deadline for ADS-B equipage is firm and will not be extended.
- A significant majority of N-registered aircraft still require ADS-B upgrades, creating a severe backlog for the limited number of qualified avionics shops.
- Common reasons for delaying installation, such as hopes for deadline extensions, lower prices, increased rebates, or new low-cost solutions, are highly unlikely to materialize.
- Aircraft owners must schedule their ADS-B installation immediately to avoid being grounded after the deadline, as waiting will only lead to longer delays and potential non-compliance.
