Aero Club Luncheon, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta told attendees, "The FAA has set a January 1, 2020, deadline to equip for ADS-B Out in controlled airspace.

Rolling over

I was the first pilot in the world to fly with a certified ADS-B system in January 2001 and, at FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] behest, I began to promote it all over the world.

As the FAA sees it, the pot sweetener in ADS-B is the "B" itself, which stands for broadcast.

Buying ADS-B now: should you bother? Lots of owners are asking that very question. While there are benefits to buying mandate-ready ADS-B now, there may be more in waiting

You or a pilot you know may already be flying with ADS-B In, perhaps using a portable receiver, but that's a relatively easy and inexpensive option, at least as far as aviation is concerned.

Time to bite the bullet? As a new crop of ADS-B avionics hits the market, prices are coming down, and feature sets and choices are better than ever before. Is it time?

The whole ADS-B environment (ADS-B, FIS-B, TIS-B) is a Surveillance and Broadcast Services System (SBSS).

TIS-B: The ADS-B bridge: ADS-B is the FAA's vision of the future. It gives us weather and traffic information, but until we're all on the same page, something has to tie the disparate traffic systems together

For this review, we wrung out three ADS-B portables, the iLevil from Levil Technology at $1195; the Stratus II from Sporty's/Appareo at $899 and, from newcomer Sagetech, the Clarity SV for $1400.

Combined ADS-B/EFIS: impressive performers: the Stratus II is the top value but Sagetech's Clarity SV leads in performance and features. But don't rely on any of them for real backup

Can i get by without ads-b?

The ADS-B wonderbox broadcasts this information on a dedicated data-link transceiver (called a UAT, or Universal Access Transceiver) to the other wonderboxes and to ATC.
