Jan 2020 is just around the corner and if you want to fly, you need to be equipped with ADS-B. Many avionics shops are booked so plan accordingly.
ADS-B or Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B for short), will replace the ground-based radar system used by ATC to track air traffic throughout the US.
ADS-B is a foundational component of the FAA's NextGen system for improving the safety and efficiency of the National Airspace. By January 2020, ADS-B Out capability will be required in all airspace where a Mode C transponder is required today. Today, ADS-B In receivers offer free traffic and weather information.
This seminar will discuss what ADS-B is and its benefits. We'll take a look at how you can take advantage of ADS-B In capabilities today as an aircraft renter and important limitations. We'll also discuss some options for aircraft owners to equip for the 2020 ADS-B Out mandate.
Matt Debski, an M.I.T graduate and software engineer at Google, has a Cessna 182 online with the San Carlos Flight Center. He had an ADS-B Out transponder installed in this plane in 2016. He is also an outstanding CFI.
This event qualifies for FAA Wings credit.
