Beware: Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
FAA’s Use Of ADS-B Against Pilots Is GA’s Next Big Problem
Pilots are concerned about the FAA’s increasing reliance on ADS-B data to investigate and in some instances bust pilots for alleged deviations that never would have been spotted back when primary radar, which has both spotty coverage and data associated with a return, was the best tool at the investigator’s disposal.
Today, with ADS-B, investigators can find not only where aircraft are going right now but where they’ve been since the day their plane’s ADS-B gear got hooked up. And based on reports from pilots who are arguably most at risk for what they would claim are needless and potentially certificate-threatening investigations, such enforcement actions seem to be happening at an increasing rate.
