**Low cost ADS-B options for VFR aircraft**

VFR operators who wish to voluntarily fit Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) will soon have more choice.

This follows a recent consultation –

– where we asked for your feedback on the move.

From 16 July you will be able to choose from a broader range of ADS-B systems on the market. Some of the systems are available at a lower cost than what is allowable under current standards.

CASA is hoping that the changes will encourage a greater fitment of ADS-B in VFR aircraft so that pilots can begin to enjoy the safety benefits of this technology.

Having an ADS-B transmitting system (ADS-B OUT) will help you to be more visible to other aircraft, and if you also have a receiving system (ADS-B IN), you will be able to see other ADS-B OUT-equipped aircraft in your vicinity.
