This bill would require all aircraft operating in Class B airspace to install and operate both ADS-B In and ADS-B Out equipment that meets performance requirements the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator specifies. The equipment must be installed, activated, and receiving whenever the aircraft is taxiing or in flight. The requirement applies to all aircraft, including military aircraft, and the Secretary of Transportation and the FAA Administrator are barred from issuing or enforcing regulations that exempt aircraft from the requirement. The bill also repeals section 1046 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which had provided an exemption for certain Department of Defense aircraft. The bill text includes definitions for Administrator, ADS-B In, ADS-B Out, and aircraft.
No publicly available information on costs, funding, or estimated expenses is included in the bill text. The bill requires equipment that meets FAA performance requirements but does not provide cost estimates or funding sources.
