FAA ADS-B rebate - NA for multi?

[kep5niner]

Upgrading my transponder to comply with the 2020 mandate. According to the FAA’s website, the $500 rebate is only for single-engine aircraft. Is that true, or is that just a minor oversight in the verbiage (wishful thinking, I know....)?

true not available for multi

Twin owners are rich and don't need the rebate...

That is what I was thinking.

That is what I was thinking.

I was thinking they needed two rebates.

I can get behind that... Thanks for confirming fellas.

Yup...totally forgot about it until I went to pick the Seneca up this past year. At least I got to take advantage of it on the Lance. Oh well.

It's also one rebate per owner, so if you got it on the Lance, picked up another single instead of the Seneca and upgraded it, you still couldn't get the rebate.

My wife would own that second airplane, right quick.

FWIW, I fail to see the reasoning why twins were excluded.

I think it's right there in post 3...

I was trying to be supportive...

It's an incentive program to tip the scales for classes of aircraft that might not otherwise consider an upgrade. I suspect the argument is that the majority of twin aircraft have a very strong need to equip in order to utilize their aircraft. Yes that's true of singles too, but I suspect even moreso for the twin aircraft, which are more likely to fly longer distances and under IFR.

(And yes, I realize that there are twins that are used exclusively for training and never go more than 30nm from their base...)

Just run it OEI during the ADS-B test.

Well damn, didn't even know that! Oh well. I didn't have heartburn over the whole thing since I wanted what I wanted anyhow. Had just forgotten about it. Seems like I knew way more about it when I looked into it the first time around.

And then you'd have an opportunity to be the first guy to ever get his plane back in the divorce!

There's a new Barbie doll. It is the divorced Barbie. It comes with all of Ken's stuff.
Not that I'm bitter, mindya ...
