ADS-B OUT PURGATORY

摘要

A year ago I opted for the wingtip-mounted uAvionix skyBeacon to meet the ADS-B Out mandate on my 1966 Cessna 182. The price was right and the installation, including paperwork, took only 2.5 hours. Following the post-maintenance flight to make sure the system worked and qualified for the FAA $500 rebate, I ordered an FAA ADS-B Performance Report for the flight (it's free, at https://tinyurl.com/y9hrtsyw). Bad news. The unit had not met FAA specs. Bright red boxes, as at right, are the indication that your system failed to meet FAA standards.
