jkhirsch Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 Just stumbled across this article: http://www.avweb.com/blogs/insider/Is-ADS-B-Over-228636-1.html Haven't even read it yet, but I thought I would point it out to everyone.
jkhirsch Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) ...and I read it and there was not much value to be attained from my perspective. My apologies for a wasted post. I guess I'll try and track down the comments by David Loso and see if there is any insight to be had there. Edited March 16, 2017 by jkhirsch 1
tigers2007 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 I perused the article this morning and I only gleaned from it that owners are demotivated by the costs. I read the AEA magazine every once and a while and even they know that there is a serious lack of interest. Baby boomers are losing their medical certs and are abandoning aircraft ownership; the writing has been on the wall for years. I remember back about five years ago were I saw an ad for a clean Aztec that the owner was basically giving it away for free if the new owner kept it flying. Seems like only the rich and extremely thrifty owners will survive - I don't fall into either category... Maybe the Canadian themed "Owner Maintenance" will save what's left after 2020?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hank Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 I plan to "upgrade" no sooner than 2021, but only if I have problems during 2020. My foresight sucks, but hindsight is 20/20, so I'll use it to make the choice. 1
Sabremech Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 I'm not planning on equipping for ADS-B until I see if I can change my flying habits or do the flying I want outside of this airspace. I don't have WAAS in my airplane so another $5k for little benefit to me seems like a big waste of funds. Time will tell if I can stay outside of ADS-B airspace with my mission.
HRM Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 I am just going to wait until the last minute or my Narco AT50 dies--whichever comes first. Prices should come down even further by then.
