Unless otherwise authorized, which situation requires Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)?
A
Landing at an airport with an operating control tower.
B
Overflying Class C airspace below 10,000 feet MSL.✓ Correct Answer
C
Flying under the shelf of Class C airspace.
Explanation
14 CFR 91.225(d)(3) requires ADS-B Out above the ceiling and within the lateral boundaries of a Class B or Class C airspace area, up to 10,000 feet MSL. Overflying Class C below 10,000 feet MSL therefore requires ADS-B Out. Flying beneath a Class C shelf is outside Class C and outside that overlying area, so it is not covered unless another paragraph applies, such as a Class B Mode C veil. Landing at a towered (Class D) airport does not in itself require ADS-B.
