ADS-B MANDATE MATH
ADS-B INSTALLATIONS
The FAA passed the ADS-B mandate in 2010, giving the industry 10 years to
comply before the January 1, 2020 deadline.
The industry paid scant attention to ADS-B during the first seven years of the ten
year period, installing ADS-B on fewer than 30,000 aircraft.
This failure to act will have significant ramifications. As the following slides show,
those that haven't already complied need a reality check.

ADS-B MATH FOR ADS-B INSTALLATIONS
ADS-B FACILITIES & INSTALLATIONS
There are approximately 500 avionics facilities in the US. This includes
everything from one-man shops to very large avionics operations with
satellite offices throughout the US.
Facilities
Installations per Month
On average, along with their normal business, each of these shops can
install and certify ADS-B on 4 aircraft/month for a maximum total of 2000
installations/month.
With 36 months remaining until the mandate deadline, the avionics industry
only has the capacity to install ADS-B on 72,000 aircraft before the
deadline.

ADS-B MATH PUTTING THE NUMBERS TOGETHER
ADS-B REQUIREMENTS VS CAPACITY
Aircraft that need ADS-B
Industry Capacity
With just 3 years left before the deadline, the avionics industry must
compress more than 80% of the ADS-B installations into 30% of the time
available. That isn’t possible.
Even with the avionics industry working at a maximum capacity, industry
experts predict that approximately 63,000 aircraft that require ADS-B
won’t get it installed before the deadline, and will be grounded on
January 1, 2020.

ADS-B MATH BOTTOM LINE
ADS-B CAPACITY VS NEED
As the first quarter of 2017 draws to a close, many operators that require ADS-B
still have no plan to meet the mandate, and as a result, the avionics industry is not
being pushed to it's maximum capacity.
The bottom line is that the actual number of aircraft grounded on January 1, 2020
could be substantially more than 63,000 if the avionics industry continues to
operate at less than maximum capacity during the next three years.
