Sensing that ADS-B installations in general aviation aircraft are lagging far behind where they should be with a little more than a year left to go before the January 1, 2020, compliance deadline, FAA relaunched a $500 ADS-B rebate program through October 11, 2019.
FAA’s $500 Rebate Program Returns
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA has relaunched a $500 rebate program for ADS-B installations in general aviation aircraft to boost compliance before the January 1, 2020, deadline.
- The program provides $4.9 million, aiming to fund nearly 10,000 new ADS-B Out installations, which will be mandatory in airspace currently requiring a transponder.
- To claim the rebate, aircraft owners must complete a five-step process including equipment purchase, installation, a performance validation flight, and acquiring specific codes; it is only available for new installations and not for those already equipped.
