DOT Watchdog To Review ADS-B, NextGen Equipage
The House aviation subcommittee requested the DOT OIG audit, concerned that only a small fraction of operators are prepared for the mandate.

Citing concerns that only a “small fraction” of U.S. aircraft operators are prepared for the FAA's Jan. 1, 2020 ADS-B Out mandate, the U.S. DOT Office of Inspector General (OIG) will be conducting a review of equipage rates and plans for meeting that deadline. The House aviation subcommittee requested the audit that is now expected to get under way next month. It will have three primary objectives: determining equipage rates for ADS-B and other NextGen technologies, ascertaining reasons behind equipage decisions, and assessing the FAA’s and operators’ plans to meet the ADS-B Out deadline.
