Can't really say that I am overly happy that the FAA is giving away ten million dollars of our tax money with rebates.
As far as equipping your plane now, if you feel it is worth the money to you go ahead, but for the rebate you need TSOd equipment. Have not been looking at prices myself, but just might be more than $500 less if you got a non-TSOd unit which is not eligible for the rebate. Personally, I am going to wait at least a few years. I deal with electronics for large commercial ships for a living and I have been through very many mandatory new equipment requirements (several dozen at least) and every time it is the same story. Calls of panic from the regulators and the equipment manufacturers that equipment prices may go up and ship owners may not be able to get equipment or installation in time if they wait till close to the deadline. This is followed by newer, better, and less expensive equipment being introduced by lots of manufacturers, then followed by major price cuts as all the manufacturers try to get as much of the market share as possible. Would not surprise me at all if there are $300 solutions readily available before the deadline. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: KR> General Aviation ADS-B Rebate Program From: larry howell via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> List-Post: [email protected] Date: Tue, June 07, 2016 6:05 pm To: krnet at list.krnet.org Cc: larry howell <laheze at yahoo.com> Need some equipment?
