The FAA in coordination with the SSA is doing a major test of low cost
ADS-B transceivers this summer in the Washington DC area. As part of
this effort, MIT is doing a survey of pilots' perception of the value of
ADS-B technology in their environments.
Please take 10 minutes and provide your input:

We are finally making some serious progress within the FAA to get them
to take a hard look at commercializing the low cost ADS-B technology
that has been developed by MITRE. If this effort is successful, we
should see fully functional ADS-B equipment available in the US at FLARM
price points (~$1K). Please make your voices heard in support of this
effort.
