Breaking: Airline Trojan Horse threatens US ATC system

Breaking: Airline Trojan Horse threatens US ATC system
As this issue of Aviation eBrief was being drafted, AOPA announced it will be issuing an urgent message to general aviation pilots today asking them to call their members of Congress to oppose a surprise eleventh-hour backroom amendment crafted by Rep. Jim Shuster, R-Pa., outgoing chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The manager's amendment is an airline-derived Trojan Horse that proposes to place the US air traffic system under the control of an airline-dominated board under the Department of Transportation and outside the Federal Aviation Administration, the only federal agency with the expertise and background to safely operate the largest, most complex air traffic system in the world. A vote on the bill could occur as soon as April 25. Pilots should contact their member of Congress immediately and look for more details via email later today from AOPA and on its website.

Your ADS-B Questions Answered: Get the Facts Here


Question: Will the January 1, 2020 ADS-B Out compliance date be extended? And is it true that the airlines have been allowed to delay their installation?   

 

Answer: The FAA has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the January 1, 2020 ADS-B Out compliance date.

 

The rule was published in May 2010, nearly ten years in advance to allow ample time for the production and installation of equipment on aircraft and complete deployment of the ATC ground network (completed in 2014). ADS-B is currently used by ATC in all but the smallest facilities where integration with the automation is on track to support the compliance date.

 

Equipment options are varied and plentiful; there are approved ADS-B systems for almost all aircraft types. Manufacturers share this information with the FAA which is available through a searchable database at www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/installation/equipment/adsb_ready/

 

The rumor that airlines have been given a delay to the January 1, 2020 ADS-B Out compliance date is not true. Exemption 12555 allows the use of older GPS equipment until 2025, but still requires that operators install and operate rule-compliant ADS-B Out equipment by January 1, 2020.

 

With all this in place, there is no need and no reason to expect a delay in the compliance date of January 1, 2020.

There's only 24 months remaining before the 2020 ADS-B Out equipage deadline.
