Adapt Permit For Free

An ADS-B Out failure doesn't require an immediate landing. Talk to ATC and come up with a plan that works for everyone. In all likelihood, you'll be able to proceed without any inconvenience. Then, get the issue fixed before flying in ADS-B airspace, or get a waiver if necessary to fly somewhere where it can be fixed.?

I don't have ADS-B Out, can I fly in ADS-B rule airspace? Operators of aircraft not equipped with ADS-B Out, or with inoperative ADS-B Out, who wish to operate in ADS-B rule airspace must obtain an ATC authorization before flying.

Pilots/operators using aircraft that do not meet ADS-B Out equipage or performance requirements may request an authorization to deviate from the rule to access ADS-B Out rule airspace. The FAA has developed the ADS-B Deviation Authorization Preflight Tool (ADAPT) to manage these authorization requests.

ADS-B Exemption However, aircraft without the necessary ADS-B capabilities can still operate in U.S. airspace with a single-use route deviation authorization obtained through the FAA's ADS-B Deviation Authorization Pre-Flight Tool (ADAPT).

Is ADS-B In required? ADS-B In is not mandated by the ADS-B Rule; only ADS-B Out is required in order to fly in the airspace mentioned in 14 CFR 91.225.

Aircraft not complying with the requirements may be denied access to this airspace. As described in 14 CFR 91.225, ADS-B Out performance is required to operate in: Class A, B, and C airspace. Above the ceiling and within the lateral boundaries of a Class B or Class C airspace area upward to 10,000 feet MSL .

Experimental category aircraft and E-LSA aircraft don't require the installation of FAA-approved ADS-B equipment. However, the equipment installed must meet the performance requirements of the ADS-B TSO (technical standard orders).

Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) are tools used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to restrict aircraft operations within designated areas.They have also been used to keep aircraft away from surface-based hazards that could impact safety of flight, such as toxic gas spills or vol- canic eruptions.

IFR operations will still be allowed for non-ADS-B equipped aircraft after Jan. 1, 2020, as long as operations are conducted outside the defined airspace. There may be some logistical and routing challenges ahead, but filing and flying IFR without ADS-B Out will be permitted in those areas.

ADS-B is required in Class A, B and C airspace within U.S. domestic airspace and all land mass regions of the U.S. as defined in 14 CFR 1.1 and it includes the states (contiguous and non-contiguous), U.S. possessions, or territories.
