With ADS-B you will be able to see other aircraft in your vicinity in the cockpit and on your mobile devices
ADS-B stands for Automated Dependent Surveillance Broadcast and is part of the NextGen Air Traffic system, which has now installed across much of the U.S. An ADS-B transponder installed in your aircraft will transmit its altitude, airspeed and location to air traffic control ground stations via GPS signal.
The FAA has required that all aircraft flying in air traffic controlled airspace must be equipped with at least ADS-B Out by January 1, 2020.
ADS-B Out, as the name implies, transmits data “out” from the equipped aircraft. Some ADS-B units can also receive data, called ADS-B In. If your aircraft is equipped with ADS-B In, you will be able receive data (altitude, airspeed and location) from aircraft in your vicinity and have it displayed in your cockpit or on a portable device, such as a tablet or smartphone. This can be a real boon to traffic avoidance with the capability to “see” other ADS-B equipped aircraft in real time.
Another benefit of ADS-B In is the ability to receive graphical weather information. With ADS-B, pilots receive the same data into the cockpit the same information ATC is receiving in real time – adding a higher degree of situation awareness and improved safety.

The FAA has mandated that all aircraft flying in controlled airspace (basically airspace where a C-mode transponder is required) be equipped with at least ADS-B Out by January 1, 2020. ADS-B stands for Automated Dependent Surveillance Broadcast and is part of the NextGen Air Traffic system whose infrastructure is now largely in place across the U.S.
The mandate is not news. It was announced several years ago. However, only a few General Aviation or Commercial Aviation aircraft owners have complied with the mandate to date. The FAA estimates that there are still between 100,000 to 160,000 aircraft that have yet to installed ADS-B transponders.
As an incentive to comply, the FAA is offering a $500 rebate to aircraft owners who install within the next year. It is important to note that the rebate is not indefinite. The FAA will only be issuing 20,000 rebates in total. You have until September, 2017 to install an ABS-D Out transponder and request a rebate. The rebate offer will be in effect for one year or until all 20,000 rebates have been claimed. Therefore, time is of the essence.

In the world of aircraft maintenance, Daytona Aircraft Services provides a wide range of repair services and takes pride in doing the best possible work for our customers. However, in reading an article in the December issue of AOPA Pilot, it was highlighted that when requesting maintenance the words you use are important.
“These four words—new, rebuilt, overhauled, and repaired—are terms that have distinct, specific meanings in the context of aircraft maintenance. Those meanings are defined in the federal aviation regulations. It’s crucial for owners to understand precisely what they mean and how they differ.”
Just as pilots are held to regulations, maintenance professionals have to adhere to policies as well. These regulations read differently depending on the specific words chosen to describe the work completed. A good example was used in this article: “When an owner asks a mechanic to overhaul something instead of repair it, he ties the mechanic’s hands. The mechanic can no longer use discretion as to which parts are worn out and need to be replaced, and which parts look fine and can be retained.” To read more on just how important language is when speaking with your maintenance professionals and exactly how it may be able to save the impact on your wallet, click on the following link: AOPA Pilot: Savvy Maintenance.
