The FAA is launching a rebate program to emphasize the urgent need for pilots to comply with the ADS-B Out rule ahead of the 2020 deadline . This will ensure installations and defray the costs associated with the equipment and installation for eligible general aviation aircraft . The FAA estimates that as many as 160,000 general aviation aircraft will require ADS-B Out . In order to guarantee that general aviation aircraft (that operate in rule airspace) are equipped by Jan . 1, 2020, approximately 23,000 aircraft would have needed to equip each year beginning in early 2013 . This would have ensured there would be a balance between the expected demand for avionics installations and the capacity of avionics installers . Owners of general aviation aircraft who are particularly price sensitive are postponing their installations . This trend demonstrates that there is a near-term need to accelerate equipage in order to ensure that pilots, manufacturers and retail facilities have adequate time and capacity to equip aircraft in a timely and efficient manner. When will this program be implemented? The agency and the department are working diligently to implement the program by September 2016 .

The statutory requirements for notification and public review must be satisfied before the FAA can gather rebate reservation information . The agency is currently estimating completion of the process in late September 2016 . The plan is to utilize social media and other communication tools to share a specific date as we near the completion of the statutory review and comment period . If an aircraft owner purchases avionics now, could they be eligible for the rebate? Yes, however the installation will need to occur after the program is implemented in September 2016 . - 50 -
