Daily Winners To Be Announced During AirVenture Via AEA Social Media Outlets
To help incentivize owners of general aviation aircraft to meet the Federal Aviation Administration's ADS-B Out mandate in the U.S., 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 next week.
This year marks the third consecutive year that the AEA has made the $1,000 award available to five aircraft owners.
"The avionics repair shop industry in the U.S. has only 41 months remaining to equip the 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 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 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."
Aircraft owners may enter to win one of the five $1,000 awards at AirVenture Hangar B, booth No. 2035/2036, beginning July 25. The AEA will announce one winner each day from July 25 through July 29 via its social media outlets on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and from its AirVenture booth in Oshkosh.
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, 2017. One entry gives aircraft owners a chance to win each of the five daily drawings.
