So how come AsA readily agreed to give all military aircraft an exemption from the requirement and how come airline aircraft have a permanent exemption to fly up to three days with non operating ADSB equipment in the airspace above FL 290?
Sounds like a con to me.
And of course the FAA could have brought in the mandate 5 years earlier but decided not to do so industry had adequate time to design suitable inexpensive equipment. Which is happening.
Also notice how AsA have hardly put any ADSB stations in compared to the FAA. It's all about tokenism and about maximizing profits and bonuses to executives .
