Aircraft owners win $1,000 toward an ADS-B upgrade
To help incentivize owners of general aviation aircraft
to meet the Federal Aviation Administration's ADS-B Out
mandate, the Aircraft Electronics Association recently
awarded five aircraft owners with $1,000 toward an
ADS-B compliant upgrade during the Experimental Aircraft
Association's AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, which took
place July 20-26. This year marks the second consecutive
year the AEA has made the award available to five aircraft
owners at AirVenture.
The five $1,000 winners included:
* Kevin Robbins of Horseheads, New York
* Robert Lupelow of White Bear Lake, Minnesota
* Linda Stewart of Brandon, Vermont
* Lorna Hawley of Maricopa, Arizona
* Walter Thilly of Towson, Maryland.

Hundreds of aircraft owners visited the AEA's AirVenture
booth in Hangar B at Wittman Regional Airport and registered
for a chance to win one of the awards. Each winner must use
an AEA-member avionics shop to complete the installation,
which must be scheduled no later than Aug. 1, 2016.
"The avionics repair shop industry in the U.S. has only 51
months remaining to equip the entire general aviation fleet
of more than 100,000 aircraft with ADS-B Out equipment,"
said AEA President Paula Derks. "Aircraft owners who wait
to equip will face scheduling pressure and higher installation
costs as we get closer to the deadline. By awarding $1,000 to
five different aircraft owners to help them become compliant
sooner rather than later, the AEA hopes to send a message to
owners of general aviation aircraft that the time to act and
upgrade is now." q
