ADS-B Installs Drive Higher Avionics Shop Rates in 2019
AEA's South Pacific region was the only exception, with shop rates edging slightly lower than a year ago.

The Aircraft Electronics Association said most of its certified repair station members increased their rates in 2019 in response to ADS-B installs and to retain and attract technicians, according to the recently released results of its 2018 AEA Rate and Labor Survey. Sixty-three percent of respondents expect their business growth in 2019 to come from ADS-B installs, and 94 percent said finding qualified technicians is difficult.
