Avionics Mandates: ADSB and GPS

Do I need ADSB?

If your aircraft is to be operated IFR, then the answer is one simple word: Yes.

As from February 2017 all IFR Airwork, Charter, or RPT aircraft must be equipped with ADSB out.

Airservices has some very useful information on ADSB and GPS mandates here.

There is currently no ADSB requirement for VFR aircraft. However if you fly regularly in controlled airspace, ADSB equipped aircraft will get a much easier run, because ATC have a very accurate picture of who you are, where you are, and which way you are moving.

Is my GPS OK for IFR?

Landing at International Airports?

Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth International Airports now require all aircraft landing at these airport be equipped with Mode "S" transponders. This mandate is all about tracking surface movements of aircraft. Any modern ADSB transponder will meet this requirement.
