PRESS CLIP: FAA'S PLAN FOR NON-EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT AFTER 2020 ADS-B
MANDATE
Avionics International ran a story last week on the ADS-B issue that has relevancy for
our members. From the article:
The FAA has released its policy for dealing with non-compliant aircraft after the 2020
ADS-B mandate goes into effect: approve them, but only when convenient.
"Scheduled operators may request an authorization to deviate from ADS-B Out
equipage requirements," the FAA's addition to the Federal Registry reads.
"However ... the rule requires an operator to make an authorization request at least
[one] hour before each proposed operation to the ATC facility that has jurisdiction over
the airspace."
"While ATC will consider requests from scheduled operators, it is very unlikely to issue
an authorization to a scheduled operator on more than an occasional basis," the policy
says.
Unscheduled operators — typically, part 135 and part 91 operators — will be particularly
low on controllers' list of priorities.
