SUMMARY:
On Aug. 2, 2022, Nav Canada confirmed that due to supply chain impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the previously announced implementation dates for the Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) Out performance mandate have been adjusted for Class A and B airspace.
Citing supply chain limitations and backlogs to acquire and install the appropriate transponder, as well as current equipage levels in each class of airspace, Nav Canada has amended the effective date to equip with ADS-B. As a result, the mandate will come into effect as follows:
- Class A Canadian airspace on Aug. 10, 2023.
- Class B Canadian airspace on May 16, 2024.
- Class C, D and E to occur no sooner than 2026 and will be determined pending further assessment.
