Santa & ADS-B

[murphey]

Stupid. Avionics do not go in the engine compartment. Should have been installed in the sleigh. Pull the cert from the A&P that authorized this!

Hi.
FAA, and many others, only wish it's going to be that easy, there a thousands of acft out there that the Manufacturer, like CSA for TruTrack + Becker configuration, will not issue authorization to install ADSB out. I wonder if FAA knows about them and if they do what are doing about it? I am sure Santa is illegal, I did not see and Experimental sign on his sled.

What are you trying to say? The aircraft manufacture has no say in what adsb can be installed in an airframe. As long as the unit meets the faa requirements and the installation meets fars it can be installed. I don't understand the part about trutrack, they make autopilots, what has that got to do with adsb?

Apparently so since Santa doesn’t have a matching green one.

Hi Safeguy.
I wish life was that simple. If the manufacturer does not approve the alteration, if it needs one, like an antenna... or there is an STC, you cannot touch that plane.
Some manufacturers like CSA will only approve one modification, and it requires a Garmin Xpndr to be installed, if you don't have that like some acft have the Becker, you are up the creek without a paddle. They do business by their old Communist rules.

Oh get real...this is supposed to be a humorous thread. Please stop with reality and STC battles.

What’s the cost of an overhaul of a reindeer?

WASHINGTON – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today cleared the Santa One sleigh for its around-the-world flight on Christmas Eve after signing off on the installation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) avionics in Rudolph’s nose.

Snot funny, if you ask me.
