According to AEA president Paula Derks, the top questions that avionics shops get from pilots today are related to automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B), and of those questions, the most common is: What good is ADS-B Out, and why is the FAA adding a requirement for it? I ...
requirements for flight in regulated airspace (to provide a secondary radar backup to ADS-B, as well as communicate with other aircraft that have traffic warning systems), the 1090 ES solution can satisfy both the ADS-B “Out” and functioning transponder requirement with the same piece of ...

Like any sweeping FAA mandate, the ADS-B Out requirement has been met with controversy and argument from pilots. On the table is the issue of cost. The current cost of installing even the basic mandated ADS-B Out equipment ranges from $5,000 to $6,000. The controversy stems from the ...
You might know that the requirement for transponders was born of a couple of tragic and horrifying midair collisions between light GA airplanes and airliners, a fact that no one at the FAA has forgotten. So in the end, the FAA erred on the side of requiring ADS-B in as much airspace...
"The FAA has been systematically upgrading and deploying the ground networks. In the United States, there are two methods for achieving ADS-B Out. One is using the next generation of transponders operating on the 1090 MHz band. The other is using a new technology called Universal Access Trans...
The FAA has already mandated that these user requirements be met by Jan. 1, 2020 However, the initial mandate only requires provision for ADS-B “Out” transmission capability. There is currently no requirement for ADS-B “In” signal reception, which enables the unit to receive the tracking...
ADS-B is a requirement for both the FAA’s NextGen Initiative and Eurocontrol’s Single European Sky Initiative. The FAA has ruled that after 1 January 2020 all aircraft operating in Class A airspace must have ADS-B equipment installed. ...
be equipped with an appropriate transponder with ADS-B Out capabilities that performs to the Minimum Operational Performance Standards of RTCA DO-260B, or newer; and have antenna capability for broadcast toward both ground-based as well as space-based ADS-B receivers. This requirement can be met...
Driving the equipment cost is an FAA performance requirement that will drive most aircraft owners to install a WAAS-augmented GPS signal, says Jens Hennig, vice-president of operations at the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). ...
