ADSB IN & OUT for Recreational Aircraft
Thank you, John Reid, for researching and producing the following.
CASA recently released Advisory Circular 91-23
The short version of this publication is that recreational aircraft can now be fitted with NON-TSO’d ADSB IN & OUT equipment.
These units are reasonably priced (IMO), approved by CASA, they are both “in” and “out” but require an Ipad or similar to display the traffic and will work with AvPlan or OzRunways.
The basic operation is that you retain your Mode-C transponder and link this UAVIONIX unit to AvPlan or OzRunways on your iPad.
For Late night reading the CASA regulations are long-winded but are available at the following links:
DISCLAIMER:
This is FYI only and is not a recommendation or do we have any expertise or knowledge with this equipment.
TRANSITING THE BALLINA AREA
Airservices have issued an AIP Supplement H140/19.
A summary of this AIP is that from the 5th Dec 2019 it will be mandatory to carry a radio within a 10 nm radius of Ballina.
It will also be mandatory to give position calls within the 10 nm radius of Ballina.
Airservices states that this is because of the increased RPT traffic in this area.
In conjunction with this release, they released the Be Heard, Be Seen, Be Safe Brochure which is also attached.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU READ AND CONFIRM CORRECT INTERPRETATION.
