The BC General Aviation Association is proud to announce that effective July 1, 2023 ADS-B in/out transponders will be mandatory in all general aviation aircraft operating in Southern Domestic Airspace. We believe that this change is a step in the right direction towards enhancing aviation safety. The BCGA always puts the best interests of its members first which is why we took the lead in working with Transport Canada and our air navigation service providers to ensure that our nation's aircraft transponder requirements surpass even those of the FAA's 2020 ADS-B mandate.
In an effort to be fair to all Canadians we tried to have the new ADS-B requirements include Northern Domestic Airspace as well but Transport Canada's office in Iqaluit felt that such a requirement would be unfair and cause undue expense for pilots in the north citing that those that reside in the cities underlying Southern Domestic Airspace have it too easy as it is.
