ADS-B equipage rate / percentage
I fly in the Washington DC metro area, and I am quite surprised by the relatively low percentage of ADS-B Out enabled aircraft (<50%) I see when just flying around contributing to global warming. The deadline is 6 months away. I've noticed that a larger percentage of EAB aircraft seem to be equipped compared to certificated aircraft. How does my observation compare to other areas in the country?

You are making this observation by seeing N number on traffic screen Vs. no N number - meaning transponder only?

Take the airspace type into consideration
Don't forget ADSB out is not required in a huge amount of airspace. If you do not require Mode C, you do not need ADSB out even next year is pretty close.

I fly a lot of XC and I would agree that the traffic I'm seeing is only about 50% equipped. I did a quick roundtrip from Midland to Little Rock last week and I think I only saw 5 or 6 that were equipped, definitely less than half.

The area is densely covered by TIS, so you can easily differentiate between ADS-B targets and TIS targets. It's rare to see non-transponder equipped aircraft in this area because of the airspace.

As mentioned above, much depends on your location and your mission. I personally don’t plan to install it right away. I fly in required airspace for my day job and don’t need do it in my spare time. Again, much of the continental US airspace is outside ADSB required use.

Unfortunately the two main groups that represent pilots and homebuilders didn't see it that way and I'm afraid many individual pilots don't either.
In memory of freedoms given up willingly. Enjoy your Fourth of July.

I'm kind of hoping Uavionix comes out with a 1090 version of their tail beacon.. I want to do some flying in Mexico, so the 978 stuff just doesn't work for me (I think).

ADSB
This whole ADSB only works sometimes. I came through Montana and Wyoming where radar coverage is very sparse, especially at low altitude. I get a letter from the FAA ADSB focus group that my ADSB doesn?t work. Where I live in Texas radar coverage is weak below 3000 AGL. I?m beginning to lose faith in the whole system.
