With only two and a half years until the FAA’s ADS-B mandate kicks in, the Aircraft Electronics Association hopes to nudge a few thousand more aircraft owners at AirVenture to install the ADS-B Out required to keep their aircraft legally flying past the December 31, 2019 deadline. AEA will randomly award five lucky aircraft owners attending America’s largest air show $1,000 each toward the necessary upgrades. This is the fourth consecutive year AEA has offered such a grant.
