68% of turbine business aircraft equipped with ADS-B

By General Aviation News Staff · March 13, 2019 ·

A new report by FlightAware shows that 68% of turbine business aircraft registered in the U.S. are equipped for ADS-B in advance of the FAA’s Jan. 1, 2020, deadline. That totals 11,455 aircraft.

That’s up from 24% — or just 3,707 aircraft — in October 2016 when the report began.

The FlightAware report also includes a current breakdown of equipage by aircraft type. For instance, it shows that 100% of the new Cirrus Vision Jet aircraft are ADS-B equipped, while older models like the Cessna Mustang show only 65% are equipped and the Cessna Caravan at 68%.

You can see the full report breakdown here.

According to company officials, FlightAware will update the report monthly.

    As expected there will be an absurd rush to get this done now. Just 8.5 month left. Any bets a bunch of them try to fly without the equipment?
