ADS-B rebate may still be available (if you’re lucky)
Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2019 1:42 am
If you go to the FAA’s ADS-B rebate page, you will get the following message!
“The last of the ADS-B rebates have been reserved! Still looking for a rebate? Read more below on how you may still be able to reserve a rebate.”
However, do not give up!
What has happened is that all the rebate money has been allocated. However, if an owner with a reservation has not installed the equipment and flown the test verification flight in the required time, his reservation will be cancelled. The FAA then makes those available to others starting at 1:00pm EDT every Wednesday until Oct 11. You need to read the fine print carefully.
I got mine installed earlier this week and did not fly immediately. (Don’t fly until you have applied and been issued a reservation.) Yesterday (Wednesday 9/25) at about 7:59, I applied on line and got a reservation number. I got lucky when someone else lost their place in line. Today, I successfully conducted my verification flt and got all the FAA paperwork processed for the rebate.
