FAA officials remind general aviation pilots who reserved a $500 rebate to install ADS-B in their aircraft that they have just 90 days from the time the reservation was made to install the new avionics.
If the equipment isn’t installed by that deadline, their rebate will expire and be made available to other aircraft owners.
In June, the FAA issued the last of 20,000 $500 rebate reservations offered to general aviation aircraft owners. Since then, returned or expired reservations are made available each Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET on a first-come, first-served basis.
You can check if reservations are available on the FAA’s website. Scroll down to Step 2 to find the link.
In the July 4th Edition of GA News, William Leavens comments about NTSB being impartial.
On the contrary, and with respect to Mr. Leavens, after dealing with NTSB for over 50 years, I can unequivocally tell everyone that they are biased and partial!
The NTSB sides with manufacturers and heavy hitters. They look for scapegoats.
Imagine this scenario; pilot lands gear up on runway. Contributing factor was distraction from attractive blond female in close proximity to runway which resulted in a gear up landing!
Give me a break!
This goes on and on.
Read the NTSB reports with an open mind.
Recently one NTSB investigator admitted that he never flew piston aircraft and knew nothing about a Beech 58 Baron that crashed. He previously was a jet pilot in the military. What kind of experience level does he bring to the accident site? When asked about particulars pertaining to the flight, the investigator became irritated and hung up the phone! He was not interested in hearing any opposing views.
Beware of these fake experts! They are biased, partial, ego driven and not worthy as an expert witness!
