Power pilot accused of intentionally turning off ADS-B out to cloak a different infraction (flying under a bridge). This was not a license suspension, it was a life-time revocation by the FAA (After 60yrs of flying, she'll have to start over from scratch). Pilot acknowledges the bridge incident (caught on security camera), but claims she did not disable the instrument. Keep in mind, all your ADS-B data is stored and can be viewed by anyone.

This is a good news/bad news story. The good news is that if you have ADS-B installed (and I do) you get free flight tracking vs paying for InReach or Spot. The bad news is Big Brother is watching you - full time. I had one recent flight that took me around a restricted area which is broken into 8 different sections, and usually only a few are active on any given day. Will the FAA bother to check which ones were active before citing you, forcing you to prove yourself innocent (which could take months)?
