Abstract: Participation in the ADS-B Rebate Program is voluntary. However, participation is required in order to receive the rebate. The program is offered only to GA pilots who own fixed wing, single-engine piston aircraft registered before January 1, 2016 in the US. By means of the FAA website, each GA pilot determines eligibility, reports the aircraft information in the online rebate form, validates equipment installation, and claims the rebate. The GA pilot’s interaction with the FAA website is required one time. The collected information is used by the FAA ADS-B Rebate Program Office to determine the GA Pilot’s eligibility for the rebate. The data collected for the ADS-B Rebate Program is used by the following FAA entities: 1. By the Air Traffic Organization lines of business to reserve a rebate for the aircraft owner who is eligible to receive a rebate through the ADS-B Rebate Program Website. 2. By the Air Traffic Organization lines of business to validate the installation of the avionics on the aircraft through the Public Performance Monitor. The Performance Monitor is a National Airspace (NAS) safety application that currently supports continued airworthiness and enforcement activities. The Performance Monitor processes ADS-B surveillance data (aircraft position and avionics data), identifies ADS-B equipped aircraft operating below FAA performance requirements, and generates a list of non-compliant aircraft. 3. By the Air Traffic Organization lines of business to validate that the aircraft owner has completed all steps in the ADS-B Rebate Program process and is eligible to claim the rebate. 4. By the Air Traffic Organization lines of business to process the rebate claim form and send the rebate to the registered aircraft owner. The FAA will continue this ADS-B Rebate Program in order to incentivize GA Pilots to equip with ADS-B Out, especially those GA pilots who might otherwise not equip. ADS-B Out equipped aircraft allow increased situational awareness among all aircraft within congested airspace. FAA ADS-B Rebate Program will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for confidentiality, privacy, and electronic information. Information collected will not be disseminated nor used to support information that will be disseminated.
