With the impending expansion of Canada’s ADS-B to Class B airspace, air traffic control provider Nav Canada has issued an update notice to remind pilots of their options and responsibilities. On May 24, ADS-B is scheduled to include Canada’s Class B domestic airspace. Class A airspace has been under the mandate since August 2023.

According to the notice, because there are still operators that are having issues equipping aircraft with the proper avionics and need additional time to comply, Nav Canada will continue “offering accommodations” for aircraft unable to transmit ADS-B. Blanket accommodations have been made available in some circumstances to air operators with regularly scheduled flights, while individual ADS-B accommodation requests can be submitted directly to Nav Canada.
