40% of U.S. Business Aircraft Fleet Won't Meet ADS-B Out Deadline
“Looking to install ADS-B Out next year is too late,” warned Duncan Aviation president Aaron Hilkeman.

Forty percent of the U.S. business airplane fleet will not meet the Jan. 1, 2020 deadline for ADS-B Out, Duncan Aviation president Aaron Hilkeman said last week at the Corporate Jet Investor Miami conference. To achieve 100 percent compliance within the next 25 months, the current ADS-B installation rate of 1,758 per month for U.S.-based piston and turbine airplanes and helicopters would have to nearly double to 3,390 per month, which Hilkeman said is impossible.
