  • Pilots and aircraft operators would need ADS‑B In and ADS‑B Out installed, activated, and receiving whenever taxiing or in flight in Class B airspace, meeting performance standards the FAA sets.
  • Military aircraft lose the specific exemption created by Section 1046 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 and would be subject to the same ADS‑B requirements as other aircraft.
  • The Secretary of Transportation and the FAA Administrator would be barred from issuing or enforcing any regulation that exempts aircraft from these ADS‑B requirements.
