ADS-B Deviation Authorization Preflight Tool

After January 1, 2020, pilots/operators using aircraft that do not meet ADS-B Out equipage or performance requirements may request an authorization to deviate from the rule to access ADS-B Out rule airspace.

The FAA is developing the ADS-B Deviation Authorization Preflight Tool (ADAPT) to manage these authorization requests. 

In order to be considered for an ADS-B deviation authorization with ADAPT, requests must meet the following criteria:

• Aircraft must be equipped with an operational transponder and operational altitude encoder (e. g., Mode C)
• Request submitted no more than 24 hours before flight
• Request submitted no less than 1 hour before flight
