About the program

The objective of this program is to incentivise voluntary uptake of ADS-B equipment in Australian–registered aircraft operating under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to improve safety and efficiency for Australian airspace users.

The program will provide:

  • better situational awareness for pilots through improved electronic visibility of nearby airborne VFR aircraft
  • enhanced search and rescue capabilities through improved air traffic information
  • air traffic controllers with additional and accurate automated aircraft position information of VFR aircraft.

The program funds two classes of eligible ADS-B equipment:

  • installed ADS-B equipment that air traffic controllers can use for aircraft separation purposes (referred to as ADS-B)
  • portable ADS-B equipment for local electronic traffic information purposes (referred to as ADS-B EC).
