First ADS-B AD?

[user 4289]

Didn't take long for the first AD to show up on ADS-B equipment. Note, it applies to "experimental" aircraft.

This AD applies to the following NavWorx, Inc., Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Universal Access Transceiver units (unit) installed on aircraft certificated in any category, including experimental:
(1) Model ADS600-B part number (P/N) 200-0012;
(2) Model ADS600-B P/N 200-0013; and
(3) Model ADS600-EXP P/N 200-8013.

This AD defines the unsafe condition as an ADS-B unit incorrectly broadcasting a Source Integrity Level (SIL) of 3 instead of its authorized SIL of 0. This condition could result in the unit communicating unreliable position information to Air Traffic Control and nearby aircraft and a subsequent aircraft collision.
