Default FAA ADS-B Propaganda Video

So, if the current ADS-B OUT NPRM is enacted, GA will have to install

traffic depiction and weather information. The sole advantage will be
ATC's positional information of GA aircraft in areas lacking radar
coverage, and on the ground.


Actually Larry I discussed coverage with the ADS office and the plan
is to only provide ADS-B coverage where current radar coverage exists.
Thus there may be ZERO improvement in radar/ADS-B coverage.

ADS-B Out is a flawed NPRM, offers zero benefit to me and I an
fighting it. I wonder why AOPA has not come out against this NPRM
like they did the border crossing rule and user fees. This NPRM is
worse than both of those.
