Re: FAA backs off on RVSM requirments, hopefully TC follows.
As the article alludes to ADS-B will be mandatory in the US in 3.5 years, and the equipment requirements for that I believe are what makes the RVSM thing redundant and unnecessary. Canada is not following suit as far as I know.
Re: FAA backs off on RVSM requirments, hopefully TC follows.
With ADSB becoming law in the USA within the coming years, I wonder how they are going to handle Canadian GA aircraft flying into the US. Surely they can't blanket ban an entire country of private aircraft?
Re: FAA backs off on RVSM requirments, hopefully TC follows.
Of course not. Only aircraft not equipped with ADS-B will be banned. Not to mention not all airspace in the US will require ADS-B/Transponder.
