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 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.
