AEA to award
$1,000 toward
an ADS-B Out
installation to five
aircraft owners at
EAA AirVenture
To help incentivize owners of general
aviation aircraft to meet the Federal Aviation
Administration's ADS-B Out equipage mandate
in the United States, the Aircraft Electronics
Association will randomly award five aircraft
owners with $1,000 toward an ADS-B compliant upgrade during the Experimental Aircraft
Association's AirVenture Oshkosh, July 23-29,
in Wisconsin.
This year marks the fifth-consecutive year
that the AEA has made the $1,000 award
available to five aircraft owners. Read more
about one of the winners from 2017 beginning on page 46.
"The repair shop industry in the U.S. has less
than 18 months to equip the general aviation
fleet of more than 100,000 aircraft with ADS-B
Out avionics," said AEA President Paula Derks.
"Aircraft owners who wait to equip will face
scheduling pressure and likely higher installation costs as we get closer to the Jan. 1, 2020,
deadline. By awarding $1,000 to five different
aircraft owners to help them become compliant
as quickly as possible, the AEA hopes to send a
message to owners of general aviation aircraft
that the time to act and upgrade is now."
Aircraft owners may enter to win one
of the five $1,000 awards in Hangar B
at Wittman Regional Airport, booth No.
2035/2036, beginning July 23. The AEA will
announce one winner each day from July 23
through July 27 via its social media outlets
on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Aircraft owners must be at least 18 years
old to register to win. Each of the five winners must use an AEA-member avionics repair
station to complete the installation, and the
installation must be scheduled by Aug. 1, 2019.
One entry gives aircraft owners a chance to win
each of the five daily drawings. q
