The European Commission (EC) announced last week that it plans to alter its original ADS-B Out deadlines to align with those of the U.S. Europe will now require ADS-B Out by June 8, 2016, for new aircraft and by June 7, 2020, for retrofit. The U.S. ADS-B Out fleet-wide mandate is set at January 2020. The EC change does not take effect until the European Union’s Single Sky Committee confirms it with a final vote.
