Aero-TV: Avionics Tip of the Week - How to be ADS-B Compliant

Industry Leaders Explain Necessary Components for ADS-B Requirements

On November 5th through November 7th, 2009, AOPA held their annual AOPA Aviation Summit at the Tampa Convention Center located in Tampa, Florida. Over 7,500 aviation enthusiasts attended various forums, speeches, as well as hundreds of booths featuring the latest in G.A. technology.

One such session, an informative panel entitled "Flying the Future Now," focused on the latest avionics technology, both for pilots today and in the future. Led by AOPA's Editor-in-Chief, Tom Haines, the panel featured three prominent industry leaders: Garmin's Avionics Product Manager, Bill Stone, Rockwell Collins' Senior Director of Control Technologies, David Vos, and Free Flight Systems' CEO, Tim Taylor.

Discussing such subjects as synthetic vision, enhanced vision, ADS-B, and advanced flight control systems, the panel participants provided attendees an in-depth look at GA's evolving cockpit. Join Aero-TV as we profile significant segments from the panels discussion in the coming weeks. In part three of the series, Garmin's Avionics Product Manager, Bill Stone, and Free Flight Systems CEO, Tim Taylor, explain how pilots can ready themselves for ADS-B compliance. Currently, the FAA proposed mandate states that 100% of operators operating in controlled airspace must be compliant by 2020. Industry leaders expect the final ADS-B Out rule to be published in April of 2010.
