ADS-B

Nav Canada has the following ADS-B deadline:

  • Class A Canadian airspace on August 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

Consider uAvionix tailBeaconX or Garmin GTX 335 for your needs.

ELTs

On November 25, 2020, Canada put into place new regulations to ensure all aircraft flying in the country are safer with the now required digital 406 MHz Emergency Locator Transmitters or ELT. All aircraft with very limited exceptions that include gliders, ultra-lights, gyroplanes, balloons, and airships will be required to have a properly registered ELT that is satellite detectable on the 406 MHz distress frequency. All commercial air operators, foreign aircraft and private operators (CAR604) will need to be upgraded to a 406 MHz ELT no later than November 25, 2021. Recreational operators have 5 years to comply with the new regulations, however the cost of service to maintain the legacy 121 ELTs required on their aircraft with annual battery replacements make upgrading to a digital 406 MHz ELT more attractive.

Consider Kannad 406AF Integra or ACK E-04.
