Key Takeaways:

  • The FAA's ADS-B equipage mandate deadline of January 1, 2020, is firm, with no extensions planned.
  • Over 100,000 private aircraft still require the upgrade, but only about 700 repair stations are available, leading to severe backlogs.
  • Common reasons for delaying compliance, such as expecting lower prices, increased rebates, or new low-cost solutions, are highly unlikely to materialize.
  • Aircraft owners should contact an avionics shop immediately to schedule their ADS-B OUT installation to ensure legal flight after the deadline.
