Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) and General Aviation
The other day I wrote about how the JDPO is working hard to design the future of aviation, and how the NextGen is going to address the issues related to the safety, capacity and efficiency of the national airspace system while providing a flexible, expandable platform to accommodate future air traffic growth. You can read my article on NextGen Air Transportation System by clicking here.

And to be able to repair avionics, one doesn’t even have to be an aircraft or aviation mechanic.
