Squawk Codes??

Geez... what’s 24hrs anyway?

It's the difference between the time we have to comply and the time you said we have to comply

Nauga,
and the hall of mirrors

I just went by the wording used on the FAA website, but you don’t see me arguing it either. If you’re not compliant by the 1st, it’s highly unlikely you will be on the 2nd either. That’s what I mean by 24hrs being so insignificant.

To you, perhaps. If the government is giving them, I see no reason to not hold them to their word.

Nauga,
whose minutes matter

Is ADS-B a USA thing only? Or does it work in foreign airspaces too?

Required in Mexico, beginning in a few days, with very similar rules to the US.

Canada is currently issuing confusing guidance every six months or so on when/how compliance will work there. Currently, nothing that will effect most piston pounders until 2023.

Plus, you can be one of the few non adsb out pilots to fly the Hudson corridor in 2020. That's pretty interesting hangar talk in 20 years. But also you may be able to finally become instrument current into 2020 by flying approaches in class C.

No, the rule kicks in at 12:00.01 on Jan 2, 2020. So you do have one full day in January. Here is the precise wording in the rule:



Jan 1, 2020 is not After Jan 1, 2020, but Jan 2, 2020 is!


Here is an excerpt from 91.207 Emergency locator transmitters regulation of the wording when the effective day includes the date:

Ah, pedantic members at their best!

“It’s on the 1st”

“No it’s after the 1st”

“Technically it begins at midnight on the 2nd which means it’s after the 1st.”

Geez... what’s 24hrs anyway? Not going to make much of a difference, except to y’all.

John Collins is a highly reliable source. One of the reasons for that, IMO, is that he pays attention to details.

I had house guests over New Years. We're just about a mile inside the mode C veil here. One of my guests had an ADSB-less aircraft (well he had a STRATUX but that doesn't count). He went through the FAA "deviation authorization" procedure to get out which seems to have some problems. They apparently only put it out for testing two weeks ago.

They failed to understand the two fundamental computer science principals:

1. Get it right the first time.
2. Don't test anything. It only screws up rule #1.

There is nothing new under the sun. From 1971 (before 7500 became the hijack code):
