Pilots, have you ever had a mid-air close call in what seemed like wide-open skies? Even the most seasoned pilots have occasionally been surprised by unseen aircraft. Thanks to ADS-B In, you can see traffic on your devices in the cockpit, affording you an extra level of safety and security. Having a near miss turned the pilots in this video into ADS-B believers.

By January 1, 2020, you must be equipped with ADS-B Out to fly in most controlled airspace. Federal Regulations 14 CFR 91.225 and 14 CFR 91.227 contain the details.
