I sounds like the ADS-B rebate is coming back.
https://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/LSA-Weight-Limit-Increasing-To-3600-Pounds-231639-1.html?ET=avweb%3Ae4165%3A2281223a%3A&st=email "As for the ADS-B rebate, it will be a repeat of the $500 incentive launched last year that did not attract much interest. “I talked with the FAA administrator yesterday. He was comfortable with me telling you there’s going to be another $500 rebate,” the AOPA report quoted its president Mark Baker as saying. AVweb has contacted industry leaders about the proposed change and the new ADS-B rebate program and will update this story as they get back to us." |

I don’t NEED it for where I fly most of the time. But I do have a dual GNS boxes and a 330, so I’m just a ES mod and cable away from minim Ideally I’d want a solution that also gives me in, doesn’t send my n number (or hex) out when set to 1200, I’ll wait till after 2020 and see what my options are. |

Fort Rucker’s UH-72 fleet has already been moded for ADS-B Out but that was "easy" since they were already dual Garmin GNS430W and GTX 330 equipped. The war fighting aircraft are going to be a different story. |

Well, here we are. Is everyone ready?
Here is a good video from AVweb, going over where ADS-B will be required, starting next week.  So You Blew Off ADS B Now What? |

I haven't been here in a while, but I want to share that twice I've caught my GDL50 ADS-B having my altitude reported as 500-800ft lower than my altimeter and my panel-mount GPS. I notice it on the map page when everything turns red for terrain and I know terrafirma is far below me. I can only assume this has happened with smaller discrepancies or miscalculated my altitude as higher, as the moving map page on Garmin handhelds do not depict altitude. This can have disastrous results in the following circumstances: Say that error was in the wrong direction and you hit a tower or terrain that wasn't painting if one is relying on GPS accuracy. We don't always brief our charts and plot our flights like we used to where we'd have the intimacy of our cross-country routes -- and sometimes we still have to change our routes due to weather, et cetera. And also, say there's traffic that's 200 feet below you and faster, but ADS-B is showing it above you by 100ft. What do you do? You dive, right? Unless you're flying a helicopter at 200ft and it's showing traffic at your altitude, you might decide to climb. |

It reports MSL, but nav software can use a terrain database to calculate and report AGL. |

I've observed this twice now (out of hundreds of flights that seemed ok), and I only notice it just after takeoff when it gives me terrain warnings because I know that it's wrong, so I switch to the "panel" page on my Aera 760. Powering down the GDL50 and back up resolves the issue. If it misreported my altitude as higher than actual, it could go unnoticed as we tend to not go to other pages when using handhelds to verify that the GPS altitude is right. |
