Reserve Your ADS-B Installation Slot
Are you ready for the 2020 ADS-B mandate?
For at least 80% of the general aviation fleet the answer is "no." Estimates indicate that there will not be enough shop time across the country to complete all of the necessary upgrades by the 2020 NextGen mandate. The FAA is not budging on the deadline so now is the time to act to ensure you aren't left in extremely restricted airspace when the deadline hits.
Stop by our booth (#226-228) to fill out a questionnaire about your current avionics and your mission needs and you will receive your quotes following the show. Then book your installation time slot with a deposit and rest easy knowing you won't be stuck non-compliant when the deadline hits.
