New $500 FAA ADS-B Rebate ... some motorgliders/sustainersqualify
Wait a minute!Â* Is this about age or date of registration?Â* I guess I
have to dig back into the documentation... My Stemme was /_registered_/ in Mexico in 2004, but not in the US until March of 2016.Â* Does that mean I'm not eligible for the rebate?

New $500 FAA ADS-B Rebate ... some motorgliders/sustainersqualify
This is what the FAA says HERE
https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/rebate/: *Find out if you are eligible for a rebate:* *Eligible aircraft:*U.S.-registered, fixed-wing, single-engine piston aircraft first registered before January 1, 2016. As I said before, my glider was first registered in 2004 in Mexico. /First Registered/.Â* Is their intention to say that aircraft of that age or newer should have come from the factory with ADS-B Out installed?Â* If that's the case, I'm golden and the $500 represents about 25% of the cost of acquisition of the hardware (nothing for the installation).Â* But knowing bureaucracies, that's not what they mean at all...

New $500 FAA ADS-B Rebate ... some motorgliders/sustainers qualify
I am in the process of doing an ADS-b out install on my experimental 27b. So far I have a Trig T22 and a T72 GPS installed and operational. I now have a ground/air pressure switch which I will put in next. Two questions for the list;
1) How do I take advantage of the $500 rebate being offered by the FAA? 2) I have heard of some flight test that needs to be performed to confirm functionality of a SIL=3 install. How do I do that? Anything else I should know? Thanks in advance for your help. |

Thanks - Lou Also, I believe the Tn72 is not full 2020 compliant, for that even in an experimental you must use the $1900 Tn70, as far as Trig made products. I wish this whole topic was simpler, or at least as Simple as I am!! |

Start he https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/rebate/
The biggies are that the aircraft must be:Â* U.S.-registered, fixed-wing, single-engine piston aircraft first registered before January 1, 2016. My Stemme is Type Certificated but registered in the US in March of 2016.Â* I queried the FAA about that, telling them that it was first registered in Mexico in 2004.Â* They came back with a legal opinion that it met the requirements.Â* I was going to install ADS-B anyway for the increased situational awareness that it gives, but it was nice to get the rebate. Starting with the link above, everything you need to know and accomplish is laid out in step-by-step fashion.Â* This is actually pretty amazing for a government program! For my first test flight, I was in mountain wave at 18,000' MSL and in contact with ABQ Approach Control and flew for about 1.5 hours. During that time, there was a GPS drop out due to interference testing and, because of a 0.08% loss of signal, the test failed. A couple of days later, I did a simple flight with about 0.6 hours in ADS-B airspace and landed before any GPS testing could get in the way.Â* We have a lot of that testing going on in my location... Filing a test report is simply a matter of going to the proper website and filling out the request form.Â* Be aware that there is a different site to use if you're requesting a rebate but a link to that site is given when you reserve your rebate. Hope that helps.Â* There's nothing that I could see in all of the FAA stuff that said you needed self launch capability, only that it must be single-engine piston powered.Â* Too bad if you have a jet sustainer!
