uAvionix SkyBeacon installation in Canada

Why is the FAA flight test verification of ADS-B coming up here? I thought that was required for US aircraft to qualify for the FAA rebate. I doubt Uncle Sam is going to send his money north.(?)

In fact, this was what I was originally asking about. Is this performance flight unnecessary? Certainly the ADS-B rebate is not applicable to non N-registered planes. But I would have expected that the FAA would require some documented proof that the ADS-B actually works in order to fly in Class C airspace? Perhaps not.

It is really easy to do a verification flight. You don't even need to land in the US.

Just fly across the border in a place that has Radar and ground station coverage.

After the flight you enter your details on the following website and you will get a report shortly.

The documented proof comes from the ADS-B system being installed properly and testing out properly on the ground. I've installed several and while doing a papr is fun it's not required and it's never done anything other than confirm what we already knew on the ground.

Good to know, thanks. So I guess the "documented proof" is just the appropriate entry in the maintenance log. Done!

Ahramin, were those installs on experimental or cert. aircraft (private or commercial)?

Amateur built but the rules for confirming proper operation are the same.
