Paula Derks, president of the Aircraft Electronics Association, tells members of the U.S. House Small Business Committee that FAA leadership needs to
refocus its efforts for a more rapid adoption of the safety-enhancing NextGen technologies.

certifying the new equipment and receiving field
approval on the installation; and 3) the refocused
effort needed from the FAA leadership to expedite
implementation of this safety-enhancing technology and sign off on the congressionally-authorized
finance incentives for the aircraft operator.
It is important to note that all three of these
areas are related to an overall lack of leadership
within various divisions in the Federal Aviation
Administration.
Today, the certified repair station industry has
the capacity to perform ADS-B installations at a
rate necessary for nearly 160,000 general aviation
aircraft to comply with the ADS-B Out mandate by
Jan. 1, 2020. Demand is expected to increase as the
deadline nears, and AEA members indicate they will
begin expanding their installation capacity in order
to keep up with new demand.
However, general aviation aircraft owners are
"on the clock" as ADS-B installation capacity today
far exceeds aircraft owner demand. This inverse
relationship will not last unless the industry immediately begins to see 100 or more installs completed
per day - a 25-fold increase over the current instal-

lation rate.
Our industry has received mixed signals from the
FAA in regards to the ADS-B mandate. This leads to
confusion, rumors and mistrust of the very agency
charged with implementing the Next Generation Air
Transportation System, which will exacerbate the
backlog as early as 2016 and beyond.
As you might imagine, when it comes to being
forced by a government mandate to spend hardearned, personal cash to upgrade when benefits to
the consumer have not yet been fully realized, it
is not an easy sell. But, in our recognition of the
enhancement of safety and efficiencies that NextGen
will bring our nation, we have worked our best to
educate the general aviation industry and move forward on implementation.
Yet, throughout our efforts, and those of our sister trade associations, and industry itself, the FAA
seems to be dragging its feet.
From day one, Administrator Huerta's office has
been a vocal proponent of the NextGen implementation, and has said the right things - they have promContinued on following page
