Bolen, Elwell Team On Call for ADS-B Equipage
The joint letter is meant as a guide to educate operators on compliance.

NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen and FAA acting administrator Dan Elwell jointly renewed a call for business aviation operators to ensure they install ADS-B equipment on their aircraft before the Jan. 1, 2020, deadline. The leaders issued a letter warning, “Without ADS-B, your operation will not be able to continue flights into any of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. Additionally, you will be required to fly at lower, less efficient altitudes.” The letter further stresses that many MROs are near capacity, with the deadline now just nine months away.
