Update: Correct those are not. But, Model ADS600-B part number (P/N) 200-0012 and 200-0013 and Model ADS600-EXP P/N 200-8013 are the subject of the potential AD. |

NAVWORX is back and running as of this evening but nothing new news-wise.
Nothing available to purchase but install down loads are available. I have one just in case he ships one of these days. :) |
I sent this simple email request off yesterday:
Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 12:10 PM To: Cobble, Kyle (FAA); Heusser, Michael A (FAA) Subject: NavWorx AD Status What?s the status of the potential AD for NavWorx? Docket FAA-2016-9226, Directorate Identifier 2016-SW-065-AD When can we expect something to be published? I received this response a few minutes ago: Mr. Leffler, We try to finish the AD?s within 90 days. This AD had many comments and we have had to coordinate with several offices. I can?t give an exact date, but we are working to issue the final rule as soon as possible. Kyle Cobble Fort Worth ACO 817-222-5172 Based upon this response, it's doubtful we'll see anything until after OSH. |

It's already been 5 months since the announcement & 3 months since the end of their comment period. I was hoping they'd have a resolution by SNF. We should all become active in their ADS-B discussions at SNF. |

You can absolutely put non-compliant ADS-B on your EAB, you just can't fly into 2020 airspace with it, and you can't transmit misleading signals (inappropriate SIL/SDA for instance). In fact, thousands of EAB's are flying with "cheap" ADS-B devices with no issues from the FAA because they aren't claiming to be compliant in their transmissions. The only issue would be if somehow the FAA said that a drone could fly in 2020 airspace with any GPS onboard, but only manned aircraft needed compliant GPS's. They aren't doing that though, and are holding all aircraft to the exact same standard, so I don't see an issue. |
I think a lot of this compliant / non compliant, TSO d position source/ meets C199 performance standards , SIL 3 / or 1, SDA 2 /or 0, Experimental equipment inside 2020 compliant area / Certified aircraft equipment inside 2020 compliant area ; ALL this may get redefined after the NavWorx AD becomes final whenever that may be. After all, this is what all of this has been about. Maybe if the FAA can decide what it is they want, the mfgs can produce that and make it available. Not sure we're there yet. All I know is I'm not buying again until they decide and you can write that on the wall!
