Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) Rebate Program Round 2
The objective of the Program is to incentivise voluntary uptake of ADS-B equipment in Australian-registered aircraft operating under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) to improve safety and efficiency for Australian airspace users.
The program will provide:
- better situational awareness for pilots through improved electronic visibility of nearby airborne VFR and IFR aircraft
- enhanced search and rescue capabilities through improved air traffic information
- air traffic controllers with additional and accurate automated aircraft position information of VFR aircraft.
The Program funds two classes of eligible ADS-B equipment:
- installed ADS-B equipment that air traffic controllers can use for aircraft separation purposes (referred to as ADS-B)
- portable ADS-B equipment for local electronic traffic information purposes (referred to as ADS-B EC).
To apply you must:
- be the registered owner of a crewed aircraft operating under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) or Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and shown in an approved registration database including:
- the CASA Australian aircraft register for VH aircraft (e.g. fixed wing, helicopter, balloon, glider) registration database managed by CASA
- an approved Australian Sport Aviation organisation:
- purchase and/or install in your registered aircraft:
- a device which provides ADS-B-OUT functionality or an ADS-B EC device but not both, after 20 December 2021, or
- a device which provides ADS-B-IN functionality or a device which provides ADS-B-IN and OUT functionality, after 31 May 2024.
If a grant was paid in respect of your aircraft under ADS-B Round 1 you are eligible to apply under the following conditions:
- the equipment adds ADS-B IN functionality that was not previously available, or
- you are upgrading from an EC device to installed equipment.
