ADS-B OUT YEAR-END DEADLINE APPROACHING
October 3, 2019
As we enter the final quarter of 2019 we want to remind readers that the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) mandate for implementation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast (ADS-B) Out is fast approaching. Unless an operator has secured an FAA exemption, all aircraft operating in controlled U.S. airspace must be ADS-B equipped by January 1, 2020.
ADS-B is a critical element of the U.S. NextGen program, and is also a part of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Global Air Navigation Plan endorsed by Member States at the 38th Assembly in 2013. Both domestic and foreign operators must comply with FAA mandates in order to maintain access to U.S. airspace in 2020. The FAA has encouraged foreign regulatory authorities to ensure appropriate procedures are in place to approve their operators’ requests for approval of ADS-B Out installations.
