    ADS-B out. Transponder and installation for $2,435. Why I pulled the trigger now instead of waiting.

    $500 check received. I applied for the rebate on Oct 9, revived the check on Nov 1st. Less than four weeks. Note, my validation flight was not 100% within ADS-B mandated airspace (see earlier post). Maybe I just got lucky, but 90% of the time I was outside of the mandated ADS-B airspace. I...

    Help---unable to get ADS-B rebate due to error Garmin says in no big deal

    The 15kt rule seems to be moving from myth to reality. Flying above or outside the required airspace is not looking like an option either. What we really need from the FAA is for them to publish the specifications given to the programmer who wrote the algorithm that issues these PASS / FAIL...

    ADS-B out. Transponder and installation for $2,435. Why I pulled the trigger now instead of waiting.

    No I am, not a bot, or affiliated with Appaero or any avionics company/shop. I wrote this letter for the AOPA as they were looking for member's ADS-B stories. I cut and pasted the letter to here too many times!! Sorry about that. Being a new member I did not know which forum to post to...

    ADS-B out simple ???

    I flew northeast from Livermore and exited the Mode-C veil in about 5-7 min. Here was my track: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n71809/#b3ff88f If I had seen your post before I made this flight I would have flown to Sacramento and stayed above their Class C 4,100 ft ceiling to...

    ADS-B Out $2,435 Installed. How can that be ?

    Sorry about the over-post. This was my first time visiting Pilots of America and I didn't know there was an avionics forum. I re-posted there and once again for a person who was looking to swap out their Narco Transponder. I don't work for Appareo, or any avionics company. If I did i would...

    ADS-B Out $2,435 Installed. How can that be ?

    Hi, I don't work for Appareo, or any avionics company. If I did i would probably been fired for misspelling the name of my company. I am just an aircraft owner who was very surprised about how simple of an upgrade this was and I wanted share the info. Garmin offers an excellent all-in-one...

    ADS-B out simple ???

    Sorry about implying you can't fly anywhere with UAT 978. You can, you just need to keep your 1090 Mode-C transponder working and certified every two years. In fact, I am not sure that you can dump your old Mode-C 1090 transponder when you add the UAT 978. With UAT 978 you have two units to...

    ADS-B out. Transponder and installation for $2,435. Why I pulled the trigger now instead of waiting.

    I have ADS-B in via a Gamin GDL 39 and Area 796. All I needed was ADS-B out to be legal. Appareo makes an all in one box (the Stratus ESG ADS-B Out and WAAS GPS) for only $2,995. Size-wise this is a replacement for most King and Narco transponders. I had a Narco AT-165 that was about 10...

    Narco AT165 on the fritz

    Help---unable to get ADS-B rebate due to error Garmin says in no big deal

    Try taxing less than 15kt. I was told to do that to pass with a Stratus ESG. There is a problem with identifying if you are on the ground or in the air if you don't have a squat switch interfaced with the transponder. Fixed gear won't have that so for now try a slow taxi after your next...
