No Kidding: ADS-B Deadline of Jan. 1, 2020, is Firm

[Thomas Dufresne (pbavion]

ADS-B update:

No Kidding: ADS-B Deadline of Jan. 1, 2020, is Firm

We have a sense of humor, too, but an April Fool’s joke that the Federal Aviation Administration is extending the ADS-B deadline is just that.

As stated in the final rule published with industry input in May 2010, all aircraft flying in designated controlled airspace – generally the same busy airspace where transponders are currently required – must be equipped with ADS-B Out avionics by Jan. 1, 2020. Only aircraft that fly in uncontrolled airspace, and aircraft without electrical systems, such as balloons and gliders, are exempt from the mandate.

Those who have already equipped understand that ADS-B is transforming the nation’s airspace by providing more precision and reliability than the current radar system, enhancing safety and increasing situational awareness.

Time is running out. There are only 21 months left until the deadline. If you have any questions about equipage – whether you need to or not, what equipment to get, etc. – please see the FAA’s Equip ADS-B website. For information about the transformational technology, visit the ADS-B website.

Morning Don,

Weather delay in the event.  I am told the WWII aircraft will try to get in later Monday and will plan to be available on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Sorry for the change in plans...

Afternoon Don,

I will go out to Skyline Aviation around 11:30 Monday, April 2nd and have our table set up shortly after that.  I will have our banner on the front of our table and will have a couple of chairs together with a box of EAA handout material.  I will have a pad and pen there as well so we might get names, email address, etc. from anyone interested in joining EAA.   Any time you can help during the time from Monday noon thru Wednesday noon would be appreciated.  Just show up and things should already be set-up. 

Thanks for your help and let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Ron Lentz

Morning Bob,

Thanks for your message.  Just another request as well for those of our members that might be able to assist next week on April 2, 3 & 4 with the information table during the Warbird Fly In.  I have one member as a volunteer to man the information table on April 2nd.  I will be able to work some of the time myself for the other two days but we could use one or two other volunteers from our group.  If you can help just send me an email through the Reflector by responding to this message.  Your help would be appreciated. 

Ron Lentz
